Not much longer!!!! Come on and bring Wanderlei home!

Unfortunatly the online shop I am ordering from just hasn't gotten the right one in yet . They have gotten in shipments they just havent gotten one small enough thats the right match for my tank . I am patient though and know when the time is right I will get it . Until then I still need to do some aquascaping . More ZOO's please . I am actually in touch with the local reef club and trying to score some eagle eyes and some armagedon ZOO's . The group buy was a bust as we couldnt get a reply from the distributor so they are looking for another distributor to order from .
I did manage to get a small leather in the tank though . now I just need to attach the rock to a larger rock with some super glue and then let it grow grow grow . The leathers in the 75 have doubled in size in the 1st month already and thats where the frag came from. The 2 Zoo's are already sprouting a bud on the back/top side so son there will be 3 . The candy cane has made a turn around and is gaining color everyday and tomorrow I will be getting some food for it
thanks for the advice VIPER .

A big thanks to Turning Tim for his help in getting my nano looking this good . He gave me all of the corals that I have added since the last pictures .

The tank is really coming along. Everything looks really great! It was a good idea on your part to get most of your corals in now. Trying to place them when the inhabitant is already in their is not the easiest task by any means. I still love the black sand, and with the zoos and gsp, it looks even better. Can't wait till you get your mantis! I looked on "the site" and they don't have anything as far as stomatopods go, not even any O. Scyllarus which they usually have at least them in, I was a little shocked. Hope they get something soon.

Yeah well money is a bit tight now so I am really in no big hurry . I still need to anchor down a few frags to larger rocks .
Any suggestions ? I really done want to drop a lot of coin to anchor down 3 frags .

It depends on what type of frags we're talking about. If it is GSP, we used a small rubber band and strapped it to a good sized rock, and it worked wonders. Now if you're taking about something like zoos on a small rock, that's a little tougher. I tried to put ones like that in crevices or wedge it in somewhere that I know they won't easily be knocked down. How much is reef safe glue I wonder?

you can attach your frags with regular super glue gel
. it works great and doesnt harm the tank or the corals. you just dry off the frag rock a little bit and slightly dry off the bottom of the frag (where it will attach to the rock) put a dab of super glue gel onto the rock and stick em on....its as easy as that

*after you stick the frag to the rock wait for about 30 seconds and then dip it into a bowl of saltwater....this will allow the glue to dry quicker
