Mr Cob Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 More new corals from the trades I made over the weekend.. Tubbs Blue Zoas AOG - Armor of God Palys Pink Galaxy PE Paly (hard to see pink in pic) ..and I have a few more frags coming this next weekend along with an RBTA With that said I decided to chop the clowns home up (the pagoda cup, first ever fragging session on this coral in 3+ years) with the hopes that they would be houseless and move into the RBTA. As I was doing that I got a little frag happy and jammed out on the Tyree War Coral and MCC Ice War Coral. lol This tank is crowded now. frags..got about 10 of these: And just as many war corals: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bige Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Looks good. I have never been able to get my mp10 to move water like that. Must be you scape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cob Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Looks good. I have never been able to get my mp10 to move water like that. Must be you scape. Thanks bige, yeah with the scape being completely open all the way around I think it allows for good flow giving the mp10 a clear path from one side to the other. Update.. I found a nice surprise in the 85g while cleaning out the sump and prepping for the tear down. I picked this dude up over 6 months ago and haven't seen him since the first week I got him. Super stoked to add him to the biocube. Lettuce Nudibranch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cob Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Where are you getting all your corals? I traded this past weekend with a few members from MAAST and the rest came from my 85g that I'm tearing down and selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cob Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 yes in SA. And yes...filling up fast. I'm a tradin fool, lol. A few more trades tonight.. I'm also getting an IM 30g Nuvo tank as partial trade on my 85g. So I'm collecting BTA's at the moment. Just planning something simple...re-use current equipment etc. First up...2 more RBTA's (that makes 3 and I have two more pending RBTA trades coming in soon). Tubbs Mystic Blue (a little ticked right now) Yellow Acro Red Cap Found this dude in my 85g sump while taking rock out tonight.. fighting conch? Pretty sure Queen Conchs have spiky shells...? ID Please. It's pretty large. I thought maybe just a nassarius but it threw me off because of it's size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cob Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 lol, I know! But as soon as the new nano is up and running the RBTA's will be out and I will have more room again, haha! And if I run out of room again I will just go frag crazy and chop it all up again. I have a hard time just sitting idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cob Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 thanks Kim, every couple of days I find him stuck to the mp10 prefilter sponge. Then I have to turn it off, free him and he's fine. I'm hope he can keep up... with this because we are going on 7 times now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
