AZAINTCOLD's tank diary

[azaintcold]

Out with the old, and in with the new. Got rid of the piece of junk prizm pro deluxe skimmer I got brand new for free, and bought an octopus skimmer off of someone used. 100% better.

new (this was right after I emptied the collection cup):

Here is a photo of the orange SPS with its polyps out. Really brightens the tank up:

My camera is awful, but this is my newest addition. Its a torch coral.

 

[azfishgal]

Nice torch.

You know, my torch seems to be thicker and the tenticles are thicker but shorter, or at least it seems to be. I've seen pictures of others and they look like yours. I'm wondering if mine is just a different type of species or something.

Here is a picture of mine:

Thanks. Yeah; the girlfriend coral hasn't had any real growth lately. No need to update IMO. Thanks for inquiring.

In no way is this a flame, but a sincere question. How do you QT a tang (like that powder above) and some of your larger fish in a 10g, or do you?
