tried some things today

today i went to my parent's house to do some work on the tank that im taking back from my brother of after working on the algae problem i decided to try and frag some of the mushrooms in the tank, i've never tried it before and had some mushrooms that i wanted to get give of... started spreading too fast and took to 3 other rocks, so might as well try and frag them off of the good rock i've done enough research to know what i was doing.....BUT of course the blade happen to be in the wrong way and didn't even bother checking it until i realized i brutalized the first shroom trying to frag it i felt so bad


also took some pics

$%&% !!!!!!! while trying to get my phone to put the pics on my laptop they all got deleted some how ill have to get some sunday i guess

Let us know how that brutalized frag turns out. Don't give up on it! Its amazing what shrooms will tollerate.

so here are some pics... i returned my old fish to the store today and forgot to take pics of them before i returned them but meh. did a total clean out of the tank (thats why the water is cloudy) since god knows my brother isn;t doing it

algae seems to be under control for now

inhabitants:
Blood Shrimp
CUC

i think i know what you mean now... the only full frag that survived was the "green" mushroom, the hairy mushrooms that i screwed up on did not exept i noticed the small bits that where still attached to the rock where healing over and i noticed some small pieces that where torn off of the mushroom during the "cutting" seem to still be alive i hope those little pieces dont start taking over my tank

so today i decided to use some of those store credits i had and got 3 hermits, 3 black mollies, and (kind of an implus buy) a yellow watchman goby

Blood Shrimp



i've had a hichhicker pistol shrimp living in my rocks since i first got them and i saw the pistol break the blood shrimp's leg

this is him pulling off his broken leg



i just like this picture



new yellow watchman







acclimating




in tank



mollies



unforunetly my camera died before i got the mollies into the tank, but did acclimate them to full salt from full fresh in 2 hours and where readily picking at my caupilera shortly after i put them in.... and i do love they way a school of perfectly black fish look

Edit: now that i look at these, i really should have cleaned the glass... the water is actually much clearer then that

ill have pics of the mollies in the tank on monday... after my check out dives for scuba this weekend
