cju84 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Your tank is an inspiration. Lmk if your star polyps over grow and you wanna sell a frag Considering how much is growing I can def. arrange that! Quote Link to comment
gena Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 clusterF...whatever LOL. It looks more amazing everytime I come in here . You should totally add a pair of GBGs . 1 Quote Link to comment
tentacruelz Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Considering how much is growing I can def. arrange that! Thats why I said it! the growth on your colony is insane. My tanks ready for coral and I always wanted some of them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks I definitely want some GBG's, I'll have to find some locally due to the weather. I think I'll eventually remove my Xenia for some more colorful stuff eventually. I'll be sure to consult your tank for ideas! 2 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks I definitely want some GBG's, I'll have to find some locally due to the weather. I'm holding off on a few things for that same reason. Why is is soooo cooold?!?!?! Quote Link to comment
cju84 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm holding off on a few things for that same reason. Why is is soooo cooold?!?!?! It's seriously ridiculous! Negative degrees with windchill already in mid November is just not right. I thought last year was our 'once in a lifetime winter'.... Also - what are you looking to add??? 1 Quote Link to comment

Unique Corals has a Tracy Morgonian Gorgonian that I really want! That, or KP Aquatics has nice prices on gorgs too. 2 Quote Link to comment

jeremycee Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 If you already have CUC in there, then you should be all set. I am right next to UIC by Roosevelt and Halsted. Looks nice! I live in the suburbs but work downtown... Welcome!! north shore illinois represent gotta stick together round' these parts Quote Link to comment
cju84 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Couple new pics. Had to remove some Xenia as it was growing on the glass. Also moved the Frogspawn on the left to the back as it was messing with the zoas. Lots of growth in the candy cane's and palythoas. So many more polyps have grown already! 3 Quote Link to comment
cju84 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Original Candy Cane when first went into tank (for comparison). I kinda miss just the bare rock. Perhaps another tank with just LR/fish in my future. 2 Quote Link to comment
cju84 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think the Xenia in the front and paly's on the bottom left need to go. If any of you Chicago area folks would be interested in either, let me know. Would love to trade for a Zoa colony or some ricordias. Quote Link to comment
hey Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 wow great start, keep an eye on those yellow polyps, when they start spreading you will probably have to trim, their stings melt stuff. I had some accidently touch my acan and completely fried one of the heads lol. They are by far my favorite polyp coral though so I had to have em. Quote Link to comment

The frogspawn actually seemed to piss them off for a while so once I moved them (about a month ago) they seem to be sort of rebounding. Not as vibrant as they once were though.. 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Wow, things are looking great! But I see what you mean about the palys and xenia, though - I agree. Using that space for something that doesn't grow as high would look nice. You've also got open real estate up top - any plans for something that likes more light? 1 Quote Link to comment

My friend is urging me to try some SPS at the top just to see if I have enough light... I'm debating adding something like that. Not sure what though. Maybe some sort of montipora. lookin awesome, love you coral garden! Thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment
tentacruelz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The dude I got a bunch of my coral from gave me a piece of orange montipora, it seems to be doing well, I think you'd be ok with something like that. Quote Link to comment

Not sure what though. Maybe some sort of montipora. Thank you! Looks so full and lush . I would totally go for a monticap at the top, but I'm sorta partial to them . 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I've got a piece of Gena's Idaho Grape Monti on the top of my 4g tank and it's doing great 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks I think that would be an awesome idea, assuming it won't block any light for my candy cane. You say full and lush... I say clusterf*ck/cramped lol. I've got a piece of Gena's Idaho Grape Monti on the top of my 4g tank and it's doing great I absolutely love your tank. It looks very clean, spacey, kinda the exact opposite of mine. I need to rethink mine after looking at yours again. I really like the Monti too. I would see if I could buy a frag from Gena but it is too damn cold in Chicago. Another six months perhaps! 2 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Barring an unforeseen catastrophe, I'll have some monticap for you in 6 months . 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I love mine! And it's practically indestructible. I accidentally broke the frag in half when I was gluing it. Now I have two nice frags that are growing out nicely 2 Quote Link to comment
