Today on the Reef

I really like the Halichoeres chrysus. Lemme dig up a picture, I haven't taken one of mine yet.

That's an adult male. They look more like a skinny yellow fish when juvenile.

Blue-Greens, just glued.

Here's a picture of the wrasse, he came out after a few hours in the tank:

Canary Wrasse, AKA Yellow "Coris", Halichoeres chrysus
The bugger constantly moves so it is tough to get a good shot of him.

 

[wax32]

He is more yellow than the picture shows; he is in the shadow of an over-hanging rock.

So, now it's time for a FTS:

HEY wax sorry about this stupid question but what do you mean when you say its "GLUED" surely your not glueing stuff to LR???

 

[tronicsdr]

Surely he is!! Superglue baby !!

 

[wax32]

I am, and quit calling me Shirley!

 

[anthony17]

so was that coral you superglued to the LR??? does that kill the LR or do something bad??? just seems ockward

 

[wax32]

It's a small zoanthid colony...
Nope, no adverse effects at all.

 

[anthony17]

if you didnt have superglue how would you get it to stay on or is superglue the only way to get corals to stay to the LR ???

 

[wax32]

If they are big, gravity works. As long as your current is weak.

 

[tronicsdr]

Wax,
Kudos on the tank! I really like your rock work

 

[wax32]

Thanks! I'm not real happy with the huge rock on the upper left. It has cool shelves built into it, but it's an awkward size.

Here's a picture of my high-tech frag mounting facility:

The new zoas and wrasse look great Wax. Love the aquascaping too, how long did it take you to put it all back like that after your break down to catch the damsel? Did you get it right on the first try? If I move even one rock I can never replicate the old set-up.

 

[wax32]

Well... it for sure changed!

And it took about an hour. Lemme do a before and after:

11-16-05

12-02-05
I moved a lot of the medium sized rocks that were in the infrastructure of the left side to the right side.
Now today I took out the huge rock on the left:

12-03-05
See, I can't get it straight right away either.
