Looking good Mj!

Is that a haddoni carpet down the bottom?

Bottom right, towards the front?? If so, that is a Trachyphyllia geoffroyi :)

All still going strong - the clowns love the torch :)

I don't have a lot of SPS but could manage a Dallas frag when you are ready. Could also manage some zoa's, green star polyps, morphs :)

Sounds good mate. Yeah ill message you when my tanks filled up and ready to go. I might have to have a chat to you about dosing, do you still use natural seawater and buffer it up?

Just getting back into NSW - I was using ASW during the winter as my ability to collect regularly was hampered by the weather last winter.

When I come home after work, one of the first things I usually do is feed the fish. When I did this Wednesday night I immediately noticed, as I think most of us would, that the firefish was not eating. I quick search located it behind the rocks, dead :( There were no visible signs of injury so not sure what happened, but this was my first fish to die in almost 2 years.

Moving on, some pictures of my Scolly after eating a piece of prawn

sad to hear about the firefish

That's sad about your fish mate, no sign of what might have caused it? :(

No sign at all - it obviously hadn't been dead long and there was no physical damage that I could see.

It would appear that the age span for these fish is 3 years +, with some references up to 15 years, but being wild caught I guess we will never know how old they are when we get them.

Shame about the fire fish, but that is one fat and happy looking scolly!

 

[n0rk]

That Scolly is pretty excellent, mate!

 

[MTG]

im with benjamin, great scollie!

 

[MagicJ]

Thanks guys but mother nature made it, I am just trying to keep it alive so I can't take too much credit.

BTW @Synodontis - not sure if you remember that blue acro frag that I acquired during my last trip to Melbourne?? Despite everything that happened it did actually survive :eek

Apologies for the blurred picture but it is a bit hard to get past the other frags ;)

 

[Synodontis]

That is a wicked scolly mate! Nice pick up.

For what that frag went through it has to be a fighter to survive like that. I'm not sure but I think we (you & us) have the only two frags of that piece from the day that have survived. Just shows how "magic" your tank is hahaha. Well done! :)
