Elizabeth94 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 You will love your Waterbox! Are you using that solely as a frag system or making it a new display? I feel like its mentioned somewhere in your thread, can’t find it. Quote Link to comment

I feel like its mentioned somewhere in your thread, can’t find it. Thanks after seeing a few of them popping up in here, including yours, I figured I wanna give it a shot. Their current FRAG series is more like a shallow reef display; they went from the original 12” height to now 16” height. So this one gives me about 3” in the display height. AND twice in depth, from 12” in IM to 24” here. I had to give up the 3 ft length, but I should have way more space to scape = more corals. 😄. 3 minutes ago, teenyreef said: Awwww yisssss! Thanks!

ECLS Reefer Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 So now that you have to work on this big move and all, if any of your less favorite SPS frags want to experience life in Texas let me know! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Elizabeth94 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Oh didn’t realize they changed the height to 16”. Now I want the 105 frag. My SO would kill me. Its gonna have to wait until we buy a bigger home. Or maybe ill get the new CADE system on algeabarn. Either way he’ll kill me haha 1 Quote Link to comment

mitten_reef Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 OK, here are a few topdown shots from last week that I hadn't gotten around to share yet. M. Palawanensis - Love this monti, but man, it's so finicky when it coems to steadying the colors. it'd gone a little bit of blah orange again, moving it around from high on the frag rack down to tank floor probably didn't help this last time I didn't get many great shots of the microlord's on this last shoot. But here are a few least blurry ones. I was able to get more colors from both of my mini colonies, by moving them further into the shade areas. Also, I'm particularly excited about the new addition that is sitting on the square tile. let's cap it off with an acro topdown. 10 Quote Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Nice micros. Mine always has its brown feeder tentacles out. Can never see it’s beautiful colors! I can feed it all day, the thing is ravenous. But a good grower. 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh yeah, didn't you just get that gel dosing thingy? I don't feed them enough lately, haha 😅 1 minute ago, FISHnChix said: But this guy though 😮.

I feed the fish once a day but these things are open allll the time, even before the gel. I could probably fit a whole cube of frozen in their mouths. 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 i hate montiporas now, especially the encrusting kind but that monti looks awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment
jcreefer Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Congrats on the new tank. I too am still rocking the IM30L (and NBR hybrid no less) but I am sooooooooo itching to upgrade. I like the 36in length and have my eyes on the Waterbox 100.3, but that will have to wait until we move to a bigger house. Out of curiosity (and out of my own laziness), do you dose? If so, how much Alk per day? Trying to figure out where I am in terms of range. Thanks Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment
