Frag Swap Goodies

Some new additions to the frag tank and display that I got at the Flint Swap yesterday.

Two halves of a Rose Bubble Tip Anemone.


A red, white, pink and yellow Rock Flower anemone.


Some blue and yellow zoa. Still have to figure out the name of them.


A Hawkins Blue acro (back) and a purple and blue encrusting Montipora.


And lastly a 2 headed frag of torch which will hopefully get to a nice size so my clowns can play in it. They miss their frogspawn that died in the crash a couple months ago.

Headed out to a Frag swap in Flint today. Mostly just to see whats there. Not really in the need for anything, but then again when do I ever NEED more coral lol.

The Frag tank is pretty full right now. I've got some yumas and ricordea healing from fragging a week ago. I might post a few frags up on Michigan Reefers soon just to empty out the tank a bit. I've also been looking at upgrading the lights on both tanks which will be easy if i can find a decent priced T5 HO for the display.

Just some photos.

Just some photos from the frag tank and display. Everything is going good so far. 

Just some details...

Alright... so everything seems to be on track as of right now. The thing I love about this tank is that it is running and has been running without any expensive equipment.

My maintenance routine includes:

• Weekly 5- 10 gallon water changes, 
• Replace the filter floss twice weekly, 
• Feed the tank a little every other day and once a week heavy feeding for the fish and feed the LPS the day before the water change,
• Blow the rocks off every other day
• One drop of iodine mid-week
• Check the chemicals once a week and add magnesium if needed

This has kept the tank going well without much issue, including nuisance algae, for a little over two years now.

Livestock includes:

• Two clownfish
• A yellow watchman goby
• A banded brittle star
• A decent sized pom-pom crab

As far as corals go:

• orange montipora cap
• green and blue polyp montipora cap
• purple with green polyp montipora cap
• orange montipora dig
• green and kryptonite candy cane colonies
• baseball sized colony of galaxiea 
• two small frags of purple and blue stylophora
• small frag of green porcillipora
• three different brain colonies
• two common paly colonies
• a frag of pavona
• a colony of branching duncan
• misc mushrooms including a purple and green yuma and a green and orange ric florida
• a nice frag of blue stag that is starting to get its blue color back
• a few pieces of green slimmer that are slowly recovering
• a baby piece of green loripes that i cut off of a dying colony

Everything has growth on it from within the last few weeks since it crashed due to a heater malfunction.
