AJ's Growout thread

[Sir Patrick]

You have a polyp count? Looking forward to seeing the growth you had and what you started with.

Here is the polyp count for today as of 11-7-11
King midas 0
Aussie Invaders 10
Baboon butts 12
Dexters 5
Almond Joys 2
Egg Drops 7
Mean greens 0
Safecrackers 11

So I have had some issues. But we keep moving on.
I have switched everything from the 150 in a 90 gallon. Added a ASM G2 skimmer. and switched to reef crystals.

OK here we are .

Almond joy 3 polyps.

Dexters 12 polyps

Baboon butts 15 polyps

Egg Drop 17 polyps

Safecracker 14 polyps

Aussie invaders 10 polyps

I did change 15 gallons of water this week.

Here are what are supposed to be pics.
I did glue one frag on it's side to give more room to grow.

I'm having trouble loading pics. Let's see if i can get this working again.
Here in the middle of the picture are the baboon butts.

[bigbill]

wow they look great GL

[AJ :)]

LOL they look pretty bad! Just need some aptasia for the complete package.
Looking to pick up a tang to get some of this cleaned up.

Thanks though.

Ohh..I have some aiptasia for you.. LOL I just put a tiny copperband in my little tank to see if he can clean up the small ones. And then, I'll be moving everything for a brief amount of time to my 300g... and I will put the Orbiculate Batfish in there to clean up the aiptasia. He has done such a wonderful job in my 300g. I know that 20L is gonna suck for him.... but if I take everything out.. he will have room to swim and hopefully mow down the aiptasia in a day or two.

So far pepermint shrimp have been doing a good job on those critters for me. Though the peppermints I have been putting in the 180 keep dissappearing ,kinda wondering if the cleaners are taking them out. GL with your copperband!
