Thank you, Mike. Your babies are doing fantastic by the way.

No no no....it's still scary all right. I want it to stay scary, too, because I'm afraid to let my guard down.

[AngelPete]

I have only one word Wendy.....OUTSTANDING !!!!tanks like this really test my love for my fowlr tank with large angels. I guess the only solution is to get another tank and go reef! ;D

 

[JerseyWendy]

Thanks a million Dabooth and Pete.

[mott768]

Looking Great Wendy ;D I take it you've been playing with your Christmas present

 

[JerseyWendy]

Thanks Curt, Matt, and Tom.

Matt, feel free to stop by anytime you want.

Tom, nope, none of those are Macros. The lens is wrapped up and tucked nicely under the tree. ;D

 

[GregW]

Great job wendy ;D

 

[pnoyreefer]

Wendy U always amaze me with your corals.. Really nice collection

 

[JerseyWendy]

Thank you all for your kind words.

Now that the holidays are over, and I am no longer under the obligations of taking pictures of everyone and every occasion ( :) I took some pics of my tank again. Of course I've been playing with my new toy, the Macro lens, and when I checked out my first pictures I took with it, I wanted to vomit.

THIS is what I found:

RED BUGS!!!! Now mind you, each and every coral that I place in my tank undergoes several dips, so you can probably understand why I was quite upset (to say the least). I will never know how they entered my system, all I know is I took drastic measures once I spotted them. I treated the entire tank with 1 pill of Interceptor for over 12 hours straight. I will repeat this 2 more times - for my own peace of mind.

Anyway, here are some pictures, starting off with a FTS

Blue Tort

Orange and Green Cap

ORA Green Birdsnest

ORA Pearlberry

Upscales Macrocladus

And lastly my ORA German Green with blue Polyps Acro, which has fully recovered from when it bleached on me.

Thanks for looking.

 

[Hirobo]

LOOKS FANTASTIC I'll take everything on the left side of the menu please LOL

 

[Phyl]

Looks great, Wendy.

Sorry to hear about the red bugs... but you have the happiest looking infestation I've ever seen (if that's any consolation). I've always wondered how a DIP could be effective against something that lays eggs. I would think that you would need to QT new arrivals in interceptor for 6 days or treat the same repetitive way you would your tank if you wanted to ensure that they would be RB free.
