Nope, but I guess it's not one of his most popular songs so maybe you didn't recognize him because of that.

Awesome news... Ecoxotic just posted my most recent video on their facebook page! Pretty honored, haha.

In other news, I'm getting my RBTA and Duncans tomorrow! Very excited. Yet, I'm having horrible diatom buildup on my glass that I have to scrape off every few days which is getting annoying. I think the DIY refugium I'm working on will fix that though.

Nice setup. Nice pics of the PDF's on Nano reef.

 

[Mitch]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I got some okay pictures of the RBTA and Duncans I recently acquired...

Enjoy, and please comment!

 

[Mitch]

So the RBTA decided to go on a walk last night and nestled right up next to the Duncans... I ended up moving the Duncans and luckily no apparent damage was done. But once you move one coral, you need to move some more... and then some more, and so on. (At least for me!) So now a bunch of stuff is moved around but everything is looking nice. I'll snap a few pictures tomorrow.

Also, I got the DIY AC70 'fuge up and running and threw a nice wad of Chaeto in there. I'll have to fine tune the flow a bit but it's up and running so I'm happy.

Here's a nice picture update for you guys.

Frogspawn

Acans

Jacque, the Blood Red Cleaner Shrimp

Shadowy Pink Palys

Eagle Eye Zoas

Orange Ricordea - I want more Ricordeas!

Pom Pom Xenia - This stuff has grown from 5 polpys to like 50 in just a few months! It seems it grows exponentially faster.

Gah, I'm having two annoying problems...

The diatoms on the glass are getting really annoying. I have to scrape the glass every other day and sometimes every day just to be able to look at the tank. I think the issue is the canister filter. Instead of cleaning it once a week I'm going to start cleaning it twice a week. Hopefully that will help me get rid of the crap building up in there before it breaks down into algae food.

Also, I caught the Emerald Crab munching on the Duncans today. I target feed the damn thing at every feeding yet it still insists on eating the corals. I'm now in the process of trying to catch the little sucker but that's a lot easier said than done. Wish me luck!

PS: I might be getting some new fish tomorrow at Greenwich Aquaria's or House of Fins' big sales!

 

[Mitch]

This morning I got a nice pair of Ocellaris Clowns at Greenwich Aquaria for only $30! I got them acclimated and took some pictures, check them out!

Same shot as above in B&W

Damn Cardinal had to photo-bomb this one

Male - Much more red than the female

The clowns have not even taken notice to the RBTA, which I was hoping they'd host. I think it may take them a little while to get acclimated and start hosting it, though. Anyways, enjoy the pictures, and please comment!

 

[Mitch]

The male clown is now hosting the RBTA... pretty cool!

I've also got some okay macro shots for you guys. Keep in mind that I don't use a macro lens.

Enjoy!

This tank will be 4 months old on October 16th, this sunday. This week I'll be working on a nice video in honor of the 4 month anniversary. Get pumped!

Also, my birthday is coming up on the 21st. I plan on getting an ATO for the tank. The Tunze Osmolator is looking nice!

 

[Mitch]

Gotta love free stuff!
