ps forgot to tell you YF, I had some cold, salt water sitting in a bucket from when i weighed your rock - there was only a little brittle star in there and still alive - amazing

Back from the meal with the girlfriend, it went brilliant.
And you guys know me that well, I rang my dad to check up on the things.
Seffie, are you being serious about things crawling out?
######, if so I best close the lid!
The guy said one of the frags I have is a Cathedral Medusa coral.
But I have searched and carnt find them anywhere, when he turned his antic lights on, it glowed green.
Seffie, I will email you my number now - if you could send me a text as they are leaving I would be very happy.

if it looks like this then i have a huge specimen in my five footer and it likes reasonably good lighting (yours should be fine) and likes a bit of flow but not loads

 

[youngfisher]

Could be, I will put it on the floor of the tank at the front, along with the other frags.
Thanks bae!

[tropic_john]

Wow, I bet your well excited! Any stocking plans

 

[bae1994]

well i got mine at say 4-5 inches then put in a gap which turned out to be not very suported then it grew to twelve inches tall in about 3-4 months by gravity growing (a trick i use ocasionally think i invented it) then later on it attached its stem to a piece of plate lr higher up its stem then broke off the bottom and its about 5 inches again now

The day of the tank!!!!!!!
Checked on the LR this morning, found 2 dead snails.
I think im having this die off on the creatures for the simple reason, the LR was kept at 1.023 and my salt water is 1.026.
You think thats why they could be dieing?
Im praying to god there is nothing wrong with my water.
Else i'd be pritty ........ off.
I think I need to buy a refractometer pritty soon so I can stop worrying.
I have a hydrometer but it says you need to leave it to soak in salt water for 48 hours.
Anyways, hopefully its just the salt difference and nothing in the water.
I have started to heat the first 25l of salted now, well my dad did which is a suprise.
Now I have another problem with the tank arrival, will it fit through my bedroom door?
But hey, if theres a will theres a way!

[divegirl]

Now he wonders if it'll fit through the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope your Dad's a bit handy with a chisel......may need to take the door frame out........been there done that, but that was with a sofa so I'm sure you'll be fine!

I have to work today......but will be waiting for loads of pics when I get home.
Good luck YF, hope all goes well.....
