Alrighty, -Update- time...

 

So the tank is doing quite well, and my SPS growth/color are leaps and bounds better then when I had my halides. My clown isn't going to host that Pizza Nem - so I may or may not keep it around. I think it is beautiful, it eats well, and it is out of the way, but at the same time I could try to find a small Hadoni or Giant carpet to sit in the same place (yeah I know they will get massive but meh, I could deal with that when it comes).

 

Anemone's aside, I will be doing some aquascaping/coralscaping on the tank soon to try and rebuild what I had before I broke my middle pillar up to get the damn bubble tip out. I will also be using epoxy/super glue to attach all of my SPS and zoa frags to my rocks. (I actually have only 2 of my 20+ morphs in my tank right now, the rest are in the prop tank. I will be taking only frags from my small colonies for the main display, and then frag/sell the rest of my colonies).

 

I am officially on the quest for outstanding SPS. I personally LOVE Milleporas and table type growth acros so I will be starting there. Goals for Millepora are to find Blue/Pink/Yellow/Green and any nicely colored tables are great (I need them to coralscape my tank to perfection - growth type makes all the difference to where it gets placed in the tank). I am also scouting for purple rim monti cap since it has always been a favorite of mine. Sofar I have my Palawensis, Purple Cap, Toxic Green Cap, Red/Orange Cap, and Normal Green Cap. Lots of caps! lol...

 

Once I get my tank sorted out and all the zoas/acros in place I will snap some shots for you folks! Hopefully in 2yrs time I will be TOTM material!!! :P We are all allowed to dream right? :)

I have two black ocelaris clowns in a 46. They have hosted everything in the tank at one time ;) When I finally added an RBTA, they took months to actually move over to it, so your clowns may still go to your Pizza Nem.

 

That is interesting to hear about your T5 growth with SPS. I am setting up a 215 (72x24x30) and am debating lighting. It will either be MH w two VHO, all LED or all T5s. Your T5 results look great so far and are much cheaper than LED.

I think I have to sell the system - I am going to be moving to BC.

If there is anyone in the GTA that is interested feel free to PM me. I am trying to sell it as a complete system.

 

It's a sad time for TJ :(

I probably won't be able to set up another tank for a year or two. So I guess it is a forced break... :(

Good luck with the sale and move.

 

Thanks,

 

I have a ton of inquiries already, mostly for livestock - but I did get 3 people looking at taking the whole system. Hopefully one of them goes through.

Wow man, that sucks. Your tank was destined for TOTM for sure (should've been already if you ask me!!).

 

Why are you moving, work I assume?

Man, that's a shame TJ. Thanks for sharing such an amazing build.

 

Its hard to get rid of the bug, you'll be back. You won't even have to change the name of your thread.

 

Good luck in BC.

I'll give you $7 for it........but you have to bring it to Texas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously though, that really sucks. Hope you get another one set up soon.

Thanks everyone! :)

 

Today is the day - The new tank owner is coming to pick up the 40 any minute now.

I will tell you a little secret: He is a member on this forum :o

 

I won't say who just in case they don't want to make it known.

 

I will post some shots of the tanks breakdown later on...

I must say this has to be the saddest day ever for TJ_Burton's 40br thread :(
