Adam_Bobomb Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 oh and I picked up a black MP10 shield and it was rough cut without polished edges (totally okay). I'm wet sanding it smooth and then I'll polish it a bit with the dremel. Just the start. Link to comment

Adam_Bobomb Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Stocking Update Fish - I've made the choice to go the angler route. I'm pretty sure a wartskin is going to be the only viable choice for a tank my size. Also, I plan to keep ghost shrimp so that he may have some nice live meals, I haven't thought much about how I plan to care for the shrimp but I don't think it'll be much more than a QT type tank. I may even let a few run around the tank, give the fat boy a work out for his food. SPS - I'm going full monti! I love plating corals. The digita and setosa will provide enough variety so I won't need any acro's to break up the plating corals. The colors range enough to were I can keep it attractive and eye catching. LPS - I think i'll be doing frogspawn and hammer variations. I would love to do something like a chalice for ground cover instead of z&p's but I don't think the Kessil 150 will be enough(thoughts). Softies - I really don't want z&p's or shrooms for ground cover. I think it's over done and can get really pricey if you get into the rare's. What I'm thinking it using the Clavularia & Sympodium family of corals or similar. Inverts - CUC of course, I don't think I'll be able to keep any shrimp because of the angler but any thoughts on others? I'd like to hear ideas for a ground cover coral. also, let me know if you see any issues with my current train of thought. Link to comment
Adam_Bobomb Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Installed the MP10 Last night. Looks much better and the flow is perfect. Still looking for input on the post above. Thanks. Link to comment

I was not aware most will be very happy growing across sand until one of my chalice frags ... mummy eye might be the name, came off the frag plug and sat in the sand a few weeks. It's spreading out on the sand now and I'm not sure I want to move it. It's in my bowfront tank so no good closeup images. Link to comment
