JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Here's that tank I was talking about. He's got some badass stuff but that frogspawn is my favorite. Link to comment
gena Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Oh wow...I never saw that. It's amazing! Soo cool!!!!! You should do that...maybe when you set the new tank up? Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Depends on my success with SPS. I'm almost 100% certainly going BB, it's going to be super flow, DIY scape. I want neon gobies. I wanted sexy shrimp but now I could take or leave them. If I have lr in the dt, the sump will be fancy macro and mangroves. Maybe even with a pj cardinal fish trio down there or something that wouldn't fit into the main tank. Link to comment
gena Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't see why you wouldn't have success with sps. You have all the equipment. I like the sounds of your plan! I especially like the pj cardinals in the sump fuge. So cool! Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 It's just an intangible thing I've not been able to have success with, that's why I'm not banking on having an SPS dominate tank Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 stronium will lead your sps desires, that and feeding your sps food it can eat every day Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 I will get strontium this week. I know it's good for most coral and my buddy here in town swears by it. I will not be feeding my tank everyday, that's how I came close to crashing it when I start feeding again religiously it will be 1-2x week spot feeding with no more than 10ml total food. I tried SPS in my first reef but I didn't have sufficient lights/knowledge and I never succeeded and then I ended up buying a sick acro this time around so it's just a mental thing. These Mr. Coral pieces look great though, good PE, they are coloring up. I just need them to be happy to get some confidence. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hey they are showing you their happy by coloring up and having the good PE. I bet it was just a very stressed/sick coral. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yeah I know it wasn't my fault, it just was one more "meh" experience that has killed my confidence with SPS. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ah those meh experiences ruin thing for people...but thats conditioning lol.... Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well I still bought more SPS, didn't I? if it was my fault and I kept killing stuff I wouldn't but I'm convinced I'm capable of doing it. Just need some proof before I plan a whole scape/upgrade around it. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Sorry, couldn't resist: Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ah I gotcha, hey if it makes you feel anybetter some people just wing it all... Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Ah I gotcha, hey if it makes you feel anybetter some people just wing it all... Yeah, some people have amazing SPS tanks and don't dose and haven't changed their water in 6 months. Intangible qualities, like I said I do not own them. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 lol yea....who knows- I dont get it though Link to comment

FlCandy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 LMAO Looks funny! Now you both have animated sigs! I need to update PS now that I know it. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Your sig is nice too Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah needs a second run, but for my first try with PS I think I did okay. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's gonna look great! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So much confidence! LMAO more then I have, that's why we only bought wood for one part of the stand, I didn't know if my design would be okay, but it is! Only thing now is I am thinking I should have made it 60" long instead of 48". I am going to make it taller, we already upped the width from 20" to 24". Nothing is ever set in stone! Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I wish I had made my stand so my tank was at eye level. Maintenance woulda been a pain but I coulda had a frag tank and sump under the display lol Link to comment
