steveoutlaw July 24, 2013 July 24, 2013 As I understand it, unfortunately Braden sold his entire system.
MBVette July 24, 2013 July 24, 2013 No I dont think he did. I was at his house about 6 weeks ago or so and it was still up and running and he had not decided what to do yet.
Swimboy123 September 29, 2013 Author September 29, 2013 Tank is still up and running although a little neglected at the moment. I'd like to welcome my new daughter Charlotte, or Charlie as I call her, to the club!
smallreef September 29, 2013 September 29, 2013 Heck yeah! We need more pictures of her Braden! (And if you could dress her as a mermaid that would be cute...)
GraffitiSpotCorals September 29, 2013 September 29, 2013 Congrats you two! Let me know if you need help with anything!
Swimboy123 November 8, 2013 Author November 8, 2013 So here is the situation. New baby, work change, back to school, and neglect of the tank. It was probably 3-5 months before I cleaned the coralline algae off of the front pane of glass. What I can say is that all of the colonies have done really well with little to no direction from myself. I'm planning on posting some pics tonight. To see what I'm saying, look through previous pics of my corals and clams. Most of them I still have, and the results are stunning!
AlanM November 8, 2013 November 8, 2013 What a tease. Pictures please. Folks were looking lately for coralline scrapings to seed their tank. You coulda made a killing. 8)
YHSublime November 22, 2013 November 22, 2013 Wow! Talk about "set it and forget it" well done! How is the Achilles? Where did you get most of your SPS?
Swimboy123 November 22, 2013 Author November 22, 2013 It has done much better than I have deserved it to. Other than cleaning the skimmer and refilling reactor media, I would do a water change every month or so and that was about it. Working on a project or two and hoping to make it look much better! Unfortunately, the Achilles didn't make it very long and died a couple days after the guarantee ran out. Oh well, that's how it goes....
Swimboy123 November 22, 2013 Author November 22, 2013 As far as my SPS, I've picked up various pieces from people and a lot of my colonies started out as frags or micro colonies. A good number of my pieces came from Piper27 and Corsi1330 and they were much appreciated!

It's not a surprise really, you just let it be, and just fed to basic needs, consistently. Bummer about the Achilles, It's in the name I guess. It's funny how nature makes the prettiest the hardest to deal with. As far as my SPS, I've picked up various pieces from people and a lot of my colonies started out as frags or micro colonies.

Very cool, well, all your SPS is looking really nice, awesome to see the growth on everything, glad you stuck around and let it work out!

There was a lot of stuff going on earlier this year and I kind of lost interest, but that has turned around!
AlanM November 23, 2013 November 23, 2013 Nice. Theres a lot of really healthy looking stuff in there.
smallreef November 23, 2013 November 23, 2013 Nice to see the tank! Looking really good...those sticks are very pretty!
Swimboy123 November 23, 2013 Author November 23, 2013 Thanks everyone! Much appreciated and sorry about the delay with the pics!
