Jem's Euphoria II

[jem]

@ Darryl, hmm from my observation.. zoas multiply rapidly if they are given a flat surface to adhere themself on.. lights and current also affects their growth..

i do add iodine weekly too..

HTH..

btw.. i still cant figure out whats so obscene!

[jervismun]

Yes they are cool for 2 weeks... after that... it really depends on your hardwork in feeding them... keep them fat and happy

Come to my office? Emm... no Sun for you to frag hor

jervis: help me find la.. i don frequent lfs as much as you.. hehe.. i wanna drop by your office to admire your tank again!

zing: wahahaha.. sunnies shi cool!

wah..open riao ish sibei cool! sibei nice!

and still look sibei obscene!!!

[jem]

sorry for the lack of updates..

have not been confident showing off my tank as a few zoas turned ugly..

think its due to the flow or lack of light in my tank..

hmm anyway

the recent updates are

-Added a few colonies of sunnies

-Added a mini plate coral

-MAJOR rescape

as u can see im going low on livestock stocking..

still monitoring my paremeters to ensure that nothing goes wrong..

my No3 is about 5-10ppm. and i can say the softies love it!

i have about 3 frags of big mushies available for trading.

will get a picture to boast around abit..

i did the rescape as i find that my tank is too packed with rocks..

and i always fancied the "valley with two towers" scaping..

the rescape was also to simulate the sunnies environment of flowing currents..

My FTS as of 10th April 2007

(PS: Mind the basket, Fragging purpose)

which direction is the seio blowing?

[jervismun]

The 2 mountains rock scape is quite nice... are those my old LR?

[jem]

@godzilla: the sieo is facing towards the left rockscape where teh sunnies are.. to simulate strong currents to drift particles to the sunnies..

its amazing how the sunnies open up even with the direct currents

@jervis: yes! those are aall your old liverocks!

haha... cool aye! i need to get maybe 2 more wavemakers to simulate currents around some areas with deadspots!

my sunnies opening to prepare for feeding!

a cute snapshot of my fungia

ROAR!

[jem]

I got these beautiful rock of red mushies with red pimples on them..

seen them multiply a few times..

so ive decided to strip some out and frag it out..

Here is the mother colony

[jem]

i use a razor blade and carefully slice their base off the rock...

be sure to prepare cloth and newspapers as the process may be abit gory..

after that i take a spare rock..

place the frag on top of it...

use those industrial green mesh and rubber bands to secure the frag onto it..

u may wanna slice the mushy up a lil to get spare frags..

but my method is more for propogation rather than fragging

[jem]

I waited for 2-3 days before i inspect the frags..

amazingly the recovery rate is very fast..

here is a pic of the outcome

the left piece isnt lodged onto the rock properly and was folded into half by my carelessness be sure to ensure that ur frags are sitted on top of the rock properly with the "stem" sitted nicely on the rock..

the right piece is beautifully secured onto the rock..

in to the main tank it goes!

[godzillaliu88]

why didnt want to cut it?

your can get more frags by cutting.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMonster Kill!!!!!
