Good stuff.

 

 

dang everything looks great. can't wait until I have the space to upgrade back to a larger tank.

 

 

Thanks. Its been a bumpy road but it is starting to come around.

I love having a larger tank, means I can put more candy in and really opens up the stocking possibilities.

Been a while since an update so here we go.

Trying new a few things with the livestock and am giving a majestic a shot. So far so good. Eats really well and is becoming less shy. Hasn't touched a thing in the tank and so far has been a model citizen. Also picked up a rabbitfish for the cuc.

Now onto the coral porn.

Sweet update man! Those acans are a great rainbow, did they retain the color?

 

What are the red ones in this pic? They look cool.

Your hilarious. Everytime I post a picture of those zoas you ask about them. Last time we talked about it I tried to frag you a couple and almost lost all of them. Was down to one head and is finally starting to come back.

The acans have actually colored up to that. This is what they were before.

LOL! My bad. I have terrible memory. :lol: Guess I really did like them to still like them. I'm so partial to red and black morphs.

 

And sweet job on recovering that acan. How's that majestic doing with all the corals?

Atleast your consistant. :)

The majestic is doing really well. Have had it in the tank for almost 3 weeks now and he hasnt paid attention to any of the coral except for the acans. Picked at it acouple times in the begining and has left it alone since then.

Heres is another pic of the acans for the hell of it.

Looks like you went all out not only on the tank but the corals too!

Tank looks packed, but in a good way. :D

 

Thanks! It is packed to be honest with you but I think it is going to be really packed once it grows out.

 

That looks like a legit coral reef. I'm jealous.

That's a nice urchin you got there.

 

No reason to be jealous. It is here for everyone to enjoy. :)

Just used the urchin in the begining to spread the coraline. If it was still in the tank it would be knocking everything over.

from what i heard and experienced, urchins eat coralline..not spread it

 

your right on it knocking everything over. thats why most of my corals are glued down with CA or epoxy

Your right on them eating it but in the process of eating and moving around they spread the spores. I could be totally wrong but it seems to work for me.

 

I also glue/epoxy my sps in place but not while I am acclimating them to my tank/lights so there is a couple week period where they are in limbo. I also rarely glue my zoas in place as I often take them out to frag.

Hmm...That's strange. I have an urchin that doesn't eat any of my coralline. He just goes after GHA when it pops up every now and then.
