jjjo Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks for the compliments all The conch is still doing a crazy job on the sand. Might add a goby, or cucumber soon to make it even cleaner. haha Awesome tank for sure. What will you be charging for torch frags? I'm not going to lie. It's rather expensive. PM me if you are serious. I'd rather not post classified ads/prices/etc in my build thread now that I'm thinking about it. thanks, dan Link to comment
nanoreef-R Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 LOL! that might be worthy of a sig right there. And what does this tank need eh? Don't say vortech. I REFUSE Yeah Vortech of course but I don't want to battle with jjjo it might get ugly! No I think this tank needs more expensive fish! Link to comment
jjjo Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah Vortech of course but I don't want to battle with jjjo it might get ugly! No I think this tank needs more expensive fish! I was thinking about either a swissguard or a deepwater candy basslet. They both are nice fish (however the latter being way more expensive). however, i cannot justify spending $$$ on something that WILL eventually die. And unlike corals, they dont multiply easily, nor can they be fragged up to recoup funds. maybe a shrimp and goby pair, or a shoal of bangaii cardinals. I really don't know yet. Link to comment

Yeah, I agree, but adding a very nice and rare fish to your tank will give it something else that you rarely see in other peoples tanks. And frankly, a Candy Basslet lives for 13 years, so by then, you'll probably have made twice it's original price by selling your yellow hammer Anyways can't wait to see what you add! Link to comment
jjjo Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yeah I hear ya. I might get a candy bass this summer if I can afford one. they too expensive On a lighter note. She opened a lot more today hopefully within the next two weeks it will fully extend and cover the disk (and expose the crazy centers of the polyps). The disk sure is an eyesore LOL The big polyp still needs to heal up though Link to comment

animalmaster6 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I love the Happy Endingz!!! And get a goby/shrimp pair! You won't regret it! Link to comment
jjjo Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 I love the Happy Endingz!!! And get a goby/shrimp pair! You won't regret it! Thanks! Happy endingz now my favorite coral in my tank And as far as fish go. i might keep it fishless, until I can get a candy basslet. How do u get your Acans to grow so well? Any tips or hints Lower t5 light. Lower indirect/moderate flow. Feed 2 x a week. Make sure they don't smother each other out. sometimes one colony will open huge on a random day, and shade another. Have to make sure they all play nice with each other. WOW.... I love it... Unique and very clean looking... Nice job! thanks! Soooo, what do you do during winter? I watch ppl swim in indoor pools. and college. Link to comment

jjjo Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Although a few corals were relocated, and it may seem that I have gone backwards, I feel that the tank looks less cluttered, and has much potential to be better than it was. I honestly felt that the hammer was taking away from the torch coral a bit, and want to limit myself to only the torch euphyllia for this tank. If I had a larger aquarium, multiple euphyllia would work. I also plan on sticking with only zoas and palys on the rockwork. and nothing else. I also plan to start a mushroom garden underneath the torch coral rock, and relocate the zoos that are there now to the main branch. Here is where things currently are. *full lighting... so colors may look a bit washed out compared to the blue plus shots I usually post* thanks for looking all dan Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Wow I really like those plans, a lot! Link to comment
divecj5 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Fantastic as always and really like the new plans. Now that you removed the hammer, you really do notice the Torch a little more. Great change!! I look forward to seeing what you create the mushroom garden with. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 So how many tanks are currentlly running? Not sumps and refugiums, just displays and frag tanks/prop tanks. Link to comment
jjjo Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 So how many tanks are currentlly running? Not sumps and refugiums, just displays and frag tanks/prop tanks. I have 1 display 20 high rimless tank. I have a friend with 2 100 gallon frag tubs, and a 40 breeder frag tank for holding frags. I have an LFS that also holds stuff for me sometimes. I will be setting up a 15 gallon frag tank soon. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Sweet! Is the 4o Breeder and frag tubs for holding your corals and your friends corals? Link to comment
jjjo Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Sweet! Is the 4o Breeder and frag tubs for holding your corals and your friends corals? It's mainly for high light corals. It is lit with a radium 250 on a lumenbrite reflector. It's my friends growout system. He just does me the favor of letting me use it. Most of the frags I have in those growout tanks will go in my new 15g frag tank after its setup. Fantastic as always and really like the new plans. Now that you removed the hammer, you really do notice the Torch a little more. Great change!! I look forward to seeing what you create the mushroom garden with. Thanks!!! Im glad to see you agree with my change. makes me feel much better. I hope to start my garden with one of those ultra rainbow mushrooms, and RandyO's bicolor mushroom. this tank is simply epic Thanks!! Link to comment
