You should send me some of those orange shrooms! Tank upgrade is due. Not in the cards though with 2 kids under the age of 3. Someday. I can send you orange shrooms. I've never mailed corals and have been wanting to try. I'll hit you up when I get courage. I bought a single one from Legendary Corals as a Jawbreaker. I haven't had any crazy colors come in but a friend of mine has. So they seem legit. 21 minutes ago, uwdanno said: Thinking about taking some corals out to get back to a bommie look. Maybe the caps on the left, the two favias in the sand bed and potentially the hammer coral in the back center.... might be a winter project. Would love any thoughts. Keep things or clean 'er up?!

Some other SPS pics Having your clam trapped because the acros have grown all around it is what we reefers call "a really good problem to have" The tank looks just spectacular! 1 2 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The tank looks even more amazing than when you got the TOTM! Is the blue-tipped (ice-fire echinata?) a new addition since last year? 1 1 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Tank looks incredible. Send these photos to Ecotech! Keep up the amazing work. -D 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Everything looks great! I think you've hit the sweet spot with everything filled in so I say change it up if need be...... I'd hate to have to touch those monti's though.......They are very pretty! And, I agree with @Travis, I want on the list for a flaming shroom. 1 Quote Link to comment

Its growing fast and I'm trimming it regularly. I'd love to find a home for a frag of it. I'll take a look tonight to see how its looking and when I can get one to you. Full disclosure - I do have an on and off again battle with bryopsis. Your tank is always immaculate. I'd hate to introduce anything to it.

It was in there for TOTM but just a small pup. The pictures and recent growth/colors definitely look more like a enchinata but I've always thought it was more of a myagi tort. Its more purple than blue in person. Definitely a pretty coral. 34 minutes ago, DaveFason said: Tank looks incredible. Send these photos to Ecotech! Keep up the amazing work. -D Dave! CONGRATS to you man! Just got an email from Marine Depot that they are carrying Nanobox lights. Your journey to build your business has been more fun to watch than any tank on here.

They grow pretty fast, I just need to get down there and pop a couple off. You and Travis are first in line. Winter is coming in Minnesota - I'll have my face 100% back in this tank soon. 2 Quote Link to comment

Minidoll Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Following! Just read your entire thread. This is the most beautiful Fusion 20 I've ever seen. I love the two islands you created, makes me want to tear mine down and rescape. 1 Quote Link to comment

Seriously, it just continues to get more amazing by the month. I can't believe it's nearly been a full year since the feature, it's awesome to see just how much all the corals have grown and filled in, particularly the SPS. Have you shot any more video clips @uwdanno? That was a nice one back in July Quote Link to comment

Thanks. Surprisingly, I don't see any issues from shading. Everything just grows, grows, grows. The bigger issue I have is flow. I run the MP10 on the right side of the tank at about 55% and there is still a big dead spot on the left side of the tank. I've wrestled with the idea of adding some sort of powerhead but know that I wouldn't like the look of it. Quote Link to comment
hinnenkm Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Your tank is absolutely one of my favorites - it's looking beautiful! If you're seriously going to get rid of some of those mushrooms this winter for people in the area, I'd gladly get in line too! Looking forward to seeing more updates 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm not into charging people for corals (aside from shipping). Sharing is better for us all! I may have to do a Nano-Reef contest to get some of these out. I bought them (the mother) from Legendary Corals as Jaw Breakers as a gift for a friend. His has some really amazing deep red streaks running through it now. He gave me a baby and that baby quickly popped out dozens more! Still waiting for my colors to come in but when they do it'll be FIRE!! I'll start thinking about the contest. 16 hours ago, hinnenkm said: Your tank is absolutely one of my favorites - it's looking beautiful!
