haha i have to learn my lesson somehow, might as well try it now while i have the money, atleast its ORA and not not wild brought in stuff

hopefully itll be okay, everything seems promising besides the birdsnest.if it looks worse tomorrow ill try and frag it.

Thing about birdsnest is they are extremely hardy, so even though it is showing signs of problems now if you cut it up and place it several places in your tank within a few months it will overtake those spots and you will want to remove it to make room for other corals. That is the point I am at now with mine.. I removed all but 1 out of the 7 frag spots I originally placed them and gave away the frags and kept just one that has grown too big. Now I don't care for the "birdsnest" shape they take because it restricts the cleanup crew from getting in and cleaning.

haha i really enjoy them at the moment, i wish mine was doing better though, tomorrow ill frag, sketchy and scary but ill try it.

i hope the acros work out, i bet they will (trying to be positive) i really like them as well.. sps is awsome haha,

 

[Conski]

almost all of the birdnest died/dieing over night, dk what itd be worth but going to emergency frag this and see what happens

 

[Conski]

I feel like i did a pretty good job for it being my first time, i made 6 frags and put them in various points around my tank changing height and shade area

heres some pics

Switched to reefcrest mode, everything is happier, all acro poplyps are out, more digi polyps are out then usual and the 6 frags.... eh lol

 

[Conski]

call of duty.. over taking my life haha!

UPDATE well the frags are all not looking good except the main one connected to the plug, seems to be the only one with any REMNANT of life.

The acros are full bloomed throughout the day, and the digi is doing perfect

Bought a new salt Mix.. Reef Crystals.. the midas blenny for whatever reason was picking on my clowns and nipping at them so hes gone.

Picked up a different birdsnest today its ORA, well see how it does.
doing a water change as well

Midas blennies are actually fairly aggressive to similar middle to upper water column dwellers. I've seen them bully the anthias they attempt to mimic.

Hmmm.. good to know. I never had any problems with my Midas other than him chasing away my cleaner wrasse when it tries to clean it. I always thought the Bi-Colored blenny was by far the most aggressive out of those types of blennies, but I can see how a Midas could cause problems in some cases. Just thought 2 Picasso's would be able to put 1 midas in check. Guess not.
