nah man hard to keep up with things these days, some of the corals have gotten RTN or what every they call it and i can work out why :(

 

[daniel borja]

whats RTN?

 

[chimaera]

Rapid tissue necrosis. Where SPS lose tissue and die ... Not a nice experience, but has happened to some of the best in the game before.

doesnt sound too pleasant. on the night shift for the baby @chimaera?

Something like that ;)

 

[daniel borja]

either that or you're throwing one kick ass party :P

 

[daniel]

Yep chims on the ball, I don't no why but its annoying me :( it's only happening to corals that are established

Hope all bounces back soon. The pictures of your hammer garden are inspiring!

[daniel borja]

thanks mate. you got a TJ running?

 

[daniel borja]

updates will be slowed down severely on this thread due to me going on holidays in the next couple of weeks...and upgrading to a bigger tank later in the year ;) i blame you guys haha

 

[daniel borja]

heres some photos of my makeshift frag rack haha. got some nice photos of some frags including the rainbow frag i recently picked up from @vpreef, as well as some other bits and pieces that are all doing very well. happy weekend everyone :)
Apologies for the crappy phone pics

Rainbow monti with all its polyps out. seems to be enjoying the tank :)

makeshift frag system with the zoas and acans under the frag rack itself as they dont need as much light. the other zoa frags are on plugs so couldnt sit flat on in the breeder trap

sky blue zoa with green frill frag, a blue stag frag from @chimaera and another zoa frag (orange mouth, green center, blue/green frills)

 

[chimaera]

Frags look great, very jealous of that rainbow monti frag!

Frag rack however ... (but hey if it does the job!)

 

[daniel borja]

thanks Pete! when its big and healthy ill be sure to send you a piece :) hahaha now do you see why i urgently need a frag rack of you ;)

 

[JimmyDang]

Yeah..I'm pretty jealous of that rainbow monti frag..lol any fts Daniel? Wanna see your collection of corals

 

[daniel borja]

ill see if i can take one tomorrow :)

 

[Cosby]

That Sky blue Zoa is really nice, Daniel!

 

[daniel borja]

thanks mate! cant wait till it grows out :)

 

[daniel borja]

here you go @JimmyDang. getting more corals from aquariums@asquith. should be arriving tuesday. got some pretty awesome pieces so watch this space :) as you can see there is no room in the tank what so ever as i am pretty much just using it as a holding tank for corals until i set up the new tank. dont mind the dodgy brothers DIY canopy either haha. its just some gutter guard tied together to place on top of the tank to keep the fish from jumping out while im away on holiday :)

 

[chimaera]

Not running the Comboray?

 

[daniel borja]

thats the comboray running :) the other one is just used for actinic lighting haha. im looking at the orphek atlantik LED lights for my new tank project (the Mantra SS will only be temporary till i get the altantik lights) if i cant source those lights, as it seems i cant find any available in Aus, then i am considering the illumagic blaze. your thoughts @chimaera
