JR! Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Here's one new one! :naughtydance: Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Wow thats an awesome timeline...the frag did a complete 180. congrats man and your right it does look just like my teal stag although yours looks even better now that it has purple tips. Thanks hype! And I know it went from a coral that was slightly neglected to one of my favorites. I think even the polyps have changed color too. It looks a lot like my green and blue frogskin. I have a couple of frags that started tiny and looked like they weren't going to make it. Good Schrieba husbandry goes a long way! Could be it! I'll probably be able to tell even more as it continues to grow. And yeah goes to show you should never give up on a coral. :naughtydance: Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Quick update: Everything in the tank is doing great and growing well. I recently placed an order with battlecorals to get some more limited SPS pieces. They were a great company to deal with and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for great SPS. I even got a free frag of jason fox psammacora! Once the frags start to color up a little more from the shipping I'll take some new shots Here's the new corals!

teamschreiba Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 i do need to see these new corals This...asap This ² Ahh okay I guess I have to They really don't look the best right now because of the shipping but it is good to have some baseline pictures. I'll try and take some either tomorrow or this weekend! Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Man it's been a long time since I've done an update... A few things have popped up with the tank. Unfortunately the red bugs are back, so tomorrow night all SPS are getting dipped since I don't want to treat the whole tank with interceptor and kill all my inverts and pods. Secondly, I was away this weekend and the MAME got dirty enough to the point where a large air bubble built up in the overflow and my tank sitter could not get it to go away. I basically had them take the whole sump offline and place a heater in the tank and surprisingly everything survived really well. I'm getting really tired of cleaning the MAME though and I know one day when I'm cleaning it something catastrophic is going to happen and then I'll really have a problem. I could take out all the corals and drill the 60-f but I just don't like how it looks and feel like a traditional overflow in this small of a tank takes up too much space. Sooooo this got me thinking about getting a bigger tank possibly a shallow-ish, rimless, starphire cube somewhere between 60-100 gallons I'd need a new return pump, powerhead, stand, and lights (but not immediately), and that's about it. What do you guys think? Link to comment
pschom Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think it never fails. Once you start you can't stop. That said a shallow 10 gallon setup sounds like a wet dream. And I'm bout to go to sleep. Night. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Make an external overflow, you just need a dremel and a diamond wheel. Then build the overflow box from glass from glass shop, pretty easy and won't take up any room in your excellent 60-F. This is what i'm doing for my new 15 gallon AGA. Link to comment
cmac23 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Just noticed your in VA as well. I have a tank that is custom built from acrylic 36"x9"x10". Very close to the ada, just a little bigger. The reason I bring this up is because I see you were mentioning the overflow taking up too much room. The guy that built mine built an external overflow attached to the back of the tank. I will have to get pics later, but the overflow box doesn't take up any room. I will buy a maggie muffler to throw in the overflow box, and bam, good to go Link to comment
thegadgetfish Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Wow, that is an absolutely breathtaking setup! The mame overflow is so beautiful and clean. How often do you have to clean it? Bigger tank? Do it! You know you want to Link to comment

I'm getting to the point where I have to clean it every 3-4 weeks otherwise it gets pretty bad. 36x36x10 go go go Man you are just reading my mind, I was thinking 36x36x(12-16) Link to comment
