Droy008 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Ok so Imgur got their act together and I was able to get a couple of the promised pictures up. I'm sorry ahead of time, because these are only simple cell phone pictures, but on the bright side my order from aquasd came in today! Here we go Monti growth 1 month ago. and 2 days ago. ohh HAI, lol I have found a ton of these guys popping up around my tank. GSP growth Left side view Full Tank Shot (sorry for dirty glass) I am downloading my DSLR pictures now. 3 Quote Link to comment
Balix Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Is your nem stinging anything? the last pic looks like it's within reaching distance of the hammer and another coral. 1 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Is your nem stinging anything? the last pic looks like it's within reaching distance of the hammer and another coral. It isn't within immediate striking distance of any of the surrounding coral. The closest coral to it would be the frogspawn. If it did venture too close to the frogspawn I imagine they would both likely shy away from each other. But I try to keep a safe margin of distance between it and any surrounding corals.

Balix Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Nice. I guess pictures just look closer. I'm picking up a 5 head frogspawn this weekend and deciding how close it can be near my rbta. Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Frogspawn put out those feeder tentacles every once in a while that are like 2" further than the frogspawn so keep that in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 It's been a long while since I've updated the thread. Funny story my frogspawn decided to wage war with EVERYTHING in the tank. Trouble is it was the larger frogspawn on the left side of the tank, and it almost completely killed my Setosa and Birdsnest. I also was on vacation for a week and came back to my skimmer not working as well as a malfunctioning reactor. I have disassembled both and soaked them in vinegar and it seems to have done the trick. But, all of th other than that the remaining coral have continued to grow, and everything seems to be doing good. I know I've been slacking on updates and pictures so I'll try to keep it a weekly thing if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 SO lets start out with an appology. I said I would try to keep things to a weekly update.....well that didn't work. Whats funny is i'm on here almost everyday, yet I only get 3-5 minutes to browse peoples quick updates then it's back to work. So to make things a little better I figured I'd finally upload some pictures I took about a month ago. Lol This is the last photo you will see of this frogspawn in this tank. I have since moved it over to my 5 gallon at home. My RFA's happy and healthy. I'm absolutely exstatic with the growth of my soft corals lately. SPS I still have no clue wht this thing is. LOL Toxic Lord Acans are growing alot. Green monti has really took off, the only downside is that the main body has really lost its color and the edges are the primary sources for color. Another angle RIP after an ATO incident w/ kalwasser this guy didn't make it. And lastly an updated FTS! Again these photos are a bit over a month old. I will try to get some newer ones up for you guys. Until then 3 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 My new little Mushroom. It's moved into a rather conspicuous location, but it seems to be happy. 3 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's pretty like a rainbow! I love dimpled mushrooms. I had one that was black w/ yellow dimples. 1 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 Some new shots. Trying to be more consistent here. 4 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Just realized that the colors on a couple of these are a little/lot off. I'm still trying to get this photography nonsense under control. Lol I'll try to get a couple more up tonight. Quote Link to comment
drgibby Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Looking good. Stinks with the equipment malfunctions but your doing well even with them. 1 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Looking good. Stinks with the equipment malfunctions but your doing well even with them.Thanks, I've been more diligent about equipment maintenance. I was hoping I could get away with every 2-3 months. But unfortunately it's looking more like a monthly event.Also I have completely eliminated the kalwasser, It didn't make enough of a change to make me happy. I am now dosing B-ionic so I can more accurately keep parameters in check, so now I have eliminated one more potential failure point/issue. Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Some new fotos. This thing has gotten soo big! These polyps are really starting to spread, if anyone wants any let me know! (also I have no clue what they are!) And my new favorite photo as of late. 3 Quote Link to comment

Droy008 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 So I am getting ready to move into my new office within the next few months and I'm starting to plan my next step and or possible tank upgrade. I'm looking at 3 possible tank options. 1: The new Nuvo Abyss Panorama 2: The cadlights shallow reef 45g 3: Custom Tank. Maybe a sumped drop off?! What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
drgibby Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Go with the custom I've looked at all of those and really though about cad light shallow but being shallow it wouldn't allow the fish I wanted the abyss is cool but only a couple gallons bigger then your 10. Besides I think a sump tank would be sweet 1 Quote Link to comment
Droy008 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 nice tank! Thanks! Go with the custom I've looked at all of those and really though about cad light shallow but being shallow it wouldn't allow the fish I wanted the abyss is cool but only a couple gallons bigger then your 10. Besides I think a sump tank would be sweet See I am feeling partially the same way. But I love how easy my current tank is. I'm worried that with a larger tank (>45 gallons) that it will require more time/maintenance. And if I'm going custom it will be hard to justify not going larger. 1 Quote Link to comment
