Pilg0re Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks everyone! I'll post a fts when I get home later today. Yeah it's packed right now, but it's in temporary storage as I clean up my neglected 10g then some of the frags will be headed to there. Link to comment
Pilg0re Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Alright guys here's my fts, taken 5 minutes ago! REMEMBER this is temporary, it will thin out as I move some things to my 10g. Link to comment
gutterguy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Looks great pilgor, love that superman. Did you get those local? Link to comment
Pilg0re Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Actually, I went on vacation to Los Angeles to visit family and stopped by vivid aquarium. I had them shipped the same day I left and it met me at home the next day. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice corals man, your tank looks super clean. Link to comment
Pilg0re Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice corals man, your tank looks super clean. Thanks!!! It's really not that bad when you don't have any fish/barely feed the tank. I have like 2 ceriths and 2 stomatellas. I also do .25g watcher changes a day. So far so good Link to comment
will46r Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Looks cool can't wait to watch it grow out. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I used to do 1g wc's daily on my ap24 when I first started keeping coral and I would get phenominal growth and coloration. That is just no longer an option for me with three kids always running around like crazies. Link to comment
Pilg0re Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Haha I can't wait to have kids I have a feeling I'm going to have to have a lot of locks on a lot of things. Link to comment

Pilg0re Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Grab a closeup of that rainbow paly if you have a chance. Really could use a better camera! Link to comment
evanski Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice! Have you considered remounting things on rubble? I am not a real fan of the frag plug look...but having said that you have a SMOKING tank! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 me want your Christmas rock. I have the same mix in my 10 gal, but yours are so much more numerous and have much more pronounced colors under LEDs, that they completely dwarf w/e ones i have! yep, Christmas rock is awesome there Link to comment
Pilg0re Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice! Have you considered remounting things on rubble? I am not a real fan of the frag plug look...but having said that you have a SMOKING tank! Yeah I'm not a fan of the plug either, but in time whatever is on them will grow over that so I'm not so worried. Plus some of the zoas were recently fragged so the disks are still really white. me want your Christmas rock. I have the same mix in my 10 gal, but yours are so much more numerous and have much more pronounced colors under LEDs, that they completely dwarf w/e ones i have! yep, Christmas rock is awesome there Thanks!! The whole rock was only like $45 bucks too so when I saw it i was like "GOTTA HAVE IT!!!" Link to comment
brandon429 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 This tank can live indefinately with no old tank syndrome because the only surface to trap and retain detritus measurably is the live rock the water change work and the light feeding won't even be a challenge, this is truly a detritus free system if it were mine Id also make sure via deflection some current gets aimed up under that rock structure just to keep that bottom glass mirror clean. could easily be a ten year reef if you get lucky with hardware reliability.

Pilg0re Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Sooo I've been gone a really long time Stuff got busy, and I haven't had time to spend my life on here haha Well after my mom took care of my tank for a few days while I was out of town I had a an algae bloom and my params weren't that great. Lost a couple of things, including my big sps colony but it was going anyways to be honest as I think it didn't take to shipping very well. Oh well, everything else looks good now and very frequent 1 gallon water changes have gotten things back on track. Well just a bit of an update on other tank news is that I'm starting to plan out a 55g or 75g tank that if it ever happens I'm going to incorporate both tanks into that one. Link to comment
