reefernanoman Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice start. Good idea on getting an APEX, which gives you more control and piece of mind. Link to comment
vlangel Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice looking corals. You are off to a great start. Link to comment
Dan R Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks every one. The apex was my son in law's (Gt Tap) idea. I think it is money well spent, knowing I have plans on starting a 40b build. Link to comment
Dan R Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 A little bummed my clown fish died on christmas day. I know now one fish is enough for a ten gal. tank. I did get a chance to slip by PEA and pick up this yellow hammer I also made it by Petco today and bought a 40 breeder. Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Wow, Tabasco is beautiful! How old was he when you got him? Link to comment
TheElysia Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hi welcome to the place! Your tank looks nice, you've got a great selection of livestock. My only suggestion/recommendation would be to group all of the frogspawn and hammer corals together. Normally they are super agreessive, but not to each other, and a little clump like that would make a cool display. Also keep them out of high flow and away from the other corals. Nice job, I wish you luck! Link to comment
Dan R Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Wow, Tabasco is beautiful! How old was he when you got him? He was 25 when I got him. He was kept in a 24"X 24" cage for most of his life which is small when he has a 3 foot wing span. He was pretty rough when I got him but he is good now. That is all that matters. Link to comment
CosmicCanine Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 loving all the euphillia! Link to comment
