After meeting puma and trading i got a nice purple monti. It was browned out but it looks to have purplish hugh now. I also got some spaghetti worms. Last night while looking at the tank i also got a bonus some micro stars.
After meetin puma i went to TFD because i was looking for a BTA. Meet the new guy seems friendly by the way.
they had a rose BTA for $39 and a green BTA with pink tips for $29.
I went with the green. when it was in the tank and baged it looked to be golf ball size maybe slightly bigger. once in my tank it was Softball size! after finding a nice spot it settled in. the next moring it was all shriveld. Of course my last BTA did this then died so i was freaking. i threw in some mysis real quick and left the house. about 6 hours later when i came home it was big as can be. :D I was so releived. (if it would of died i would never add another) I feed the tank and of course it caught all the food (that wasnt planed) ate it all and fell over it was so full.

okay just felt like telling every one about my new scores. Ill get some pics tonight.

Awesone news on the BTA. I feed mine twice a week to make sure all the nutritional requirements are made. Try putting that monit cap low for a week, then start moving it up. If your BDS's are low ti should color up in a month or two. Dont be suprised if it starts growing fast after that.

Go ahead and leave it where you have it. BDS= bio dissolved solids
Keep you tank low in this and it should color up. With as much light as you have on it , bam!, it should do nicely. I gave you some breeding stock worms, unlike another member, I know you will agree with it in a couple of weeks unlike others.....

the worms have taken over the whole front part of the tank now. I just sit and watch them now.

I am currently growing a frag from that parent. There will be more, but it will take time. My wife was sad that I parted with it, I explain to her there will be more. I never thought my wife would get attached to a coral like that. It kind of creeps me out. 8O
