yea i get you. but if you frag you make more money
ok yeah. you make money off of it. but remember I am still very new to all this. and I have never fragged anything before. I dont think i wanna start with my most expensive coral. I'll wait until my other ones grow enough to practice on. then we will see about the bubble. maybe by then it will be big enough to get 4 frags from instead of just 2!

thank you. I'm very proud of it. I expect it to start growing even more now that I'm dosing calcium. The tissue is the only thing that has really grown. I want the skeleton to get a little beafier.

ok guys... I did something really stupid (not a suprise). My new green zoas that I traded my arrow crab for were being blown all over the tank and kept ending up on the sand. So... I decided that I should glue it down to a frag "plug" that I happen to find in the sand of my 90. Well, it turns out that my hands are not so steady and the super glue is really sticky! I ended up basically rolling the entire frag in the glue and now at leaste 1/2 of the polyps are super glued closed! ugh!
At leaste some of it survived my idiocy.
On a brighter note... the brain coral (at leaste I think that is what it is) that I got along with some liverock when I first started up my nano is coming back alive! When I got it the salesman said that it was a dead brain and it was usless. Well, I was just using it as decoration until the tissue started growing back. I noticed this and put it in the 90 under the brighter lights and now it's really looking good!
The first pic is of my poor glued up zoas, the second is of my nano at the very begining. you can see the brain in the front(red and green and dead) and the last is of the brain now! notice the new tissue developing everywhere!

That's not a current FTS of my nano. that's it when I first started it up. the last pic is of the "dead" brain coral that is coming back to life.
Here are two comarison shots of my nano.
The first is before and the last is now.

What? I'm never mean! I'm always cordial and polite. (sorta)
I didn't understand what he meant at first, then I figured it out and answered the question. Besides, that filter doesn't have a specific name.... it's a store brand filter that is rated for a 20 gal. Does a great job, but I do plan on doing a refuge/sump for the nano soon.

You noticed that did you? I'm pretty proud of it. In my mind it is the only thing I've done right with both of my tanks!
Thanks for the comment!
