This tank fits my room and my personality, so much better. Looks like it's been running for years, not just hours . 14 Quote Link to comment

THe tank was a sand storm. This morning I tweaked it a bit, not the rocks, but individual corals. I originally had my big green leather in there, but resigned myself to removing it today, there's no way it was going to work. I'll be able to keep all of my blastos!!!! That was important to me. All in all, I'm quite happy with it. 5 Quote Link to comment

I have some zoas that can expand, some blastos that can expand. And, hopefully my fiji leather up at the top will get yellow again 3 Quote Link to comment

Would there be room for a frag of the leather? Thanks! Possibly. I'd have to look towards the back behind the pink palys. I also want to consider the fiji leather's growth. I could leave the room open for that, which I'm inclined to do . 2 Quote Link to comment

Lula_Mae Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I actually just bought a little frag of green sinularia, inspired by yours. May he find a happy home somewhere in a great tank! Mine is presently very pale and limp lol. 2 Quote Link to comment

I actually picked up mine as a teeny tiny clipping from someone local. That was when I was breaking down my 45 gallon cube tank. I was at my LFS today and saw my fox coral....and the anemone crab still with it . I can't even tell you how happy that makes me. They are in a giant tank at the store . 5 Quote Link to comment

I got it on ebay for only $5 more than a half-inch nub from the LFS lol. Hope it perks up soon! I am glad they are still together! I hope they get to stay together a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment

I remember seeing some beautiful blastos on there in the past but always way out of my price range. 3 minutes ago, Addinali said: I saw this on Instagram earlier and thought that's like a instant TOTM Haha...yeah, helps to start out with colonies instead of frags . Although some of the corals in here are frags of my colonies. When I was at my LFS today, he had a giant baseball sized colony of turquoise trumpets. The owner pointed out that it was one I had brought in last year . It's growing well for him too. Just realized I need to start a new thread! I'll do that soon. 2 Quote Link to comment
