No Going Back Now.

Hi all

Ben i do not really have any set plans for any future additions, i am looking into getting a nice Blenny if i come accross one in a lfs and i would also love to get a manderin, although i have a lot to learn about them, maybe you could tell me more about setting up a pod culture.

Ski, how do i spot feed the frogspawn and with what, i would love for it to grow quickly as its really expensive to buy round my neck of the woods and if i can get it to spread that would be great.

Tweedz, just go for it, you know you want to

Thanks
VM

Hello Gary

Good to hear from you, its been a while, thanks mate, i will get a pic of the rescape up very soon, i am a bit apprehensive to be honest, i had such positive comments from the last FTS and i am worried the new scape will not go down as well

Thanks
VM

Pics! NOW! Sorry, I am just interested to see what other arrangements you've come up with

 

[VictorMeldrew]

[jennybugs]

Hi all

Here is the new look, i hope you like it, as always its work in progress and i intend to add loads more live rock so it will not be three seperate islands for long.



I will not be rescaping again, this was the last time, i will just add rock from now on. I am not cleaning the back and side glass anymore, it does not look good at the moment but i am resisting the urge to clean it and hopefully will have it covered in coraline soon. I intend to completely remove the sand at some stage and have low level rock covering the base instead. A lighting upgrade and more powerheads are also in my plans.

Let me know what you all think and please be honest, as i say i am not 100% sure i done the right thing.

Thanks
VM

Thanks

BRILLIANT! LOVE IT! I also love your cabbage Don't change it back...it's really nice!

Haha, way better VM. Looks more like the Carribean patch reefs I tend to have the fortune of diving in

As for the frogspawn, get a turkey baster, suck some mysis/brine/krill/whatever into it, and squirt some ever so gently towards the center of each head of the frogspawn. It'll grab the meaty morsels with it's tentacles and start gobbling them up. Might look puffy and wierd when it does it, but that's normal
