phergus_25 Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 Just an update I'm going to buy a meat coral this week, i'll post pictures soon. I've been waiting to get one for 7 months. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 I did not get a meat coral but i got two cool corals at a relitivly good price. I bought a single head of frogspawn for $20 and a plate coral for $20. The frogspawn is small and isnt very long at the moment but hopefully he will grow fast and be big enough to hoast a clown soon, and the plate is awsome, ate the front half of a silverside today. I'll post pics as soon as i can Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Well i finally got pics. My plate coral is looking great, I've fed him 3 or 4 times and he eats it all up fast. His tissue has puffed up big and he looks really healthy. This is a really fuzzy pic of my frogspawn. It is one head but the tissue has grown even since I bought it. I am also planning on buying a small clam soon, just gatta wait till my order comes in. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 I got a better pic of the frogspan and another good one of the plate. Frogspawn Plate Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 that frogspawn is a cute lil guy. very poooooofy. I think I like your "less is more" LR arrangement. the open space is a nice effect. I want to definitely have some open space too when I set-up my upgrade. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yea, thanks coming from you thats a big compliment, I really used your tank as a model for some parts, mainly the light. I am planning on adding a little more rock as soon as I get my sump setup. But I really like to have the room for my fish to swim and room for things to be on the sand bed. I have actually noticed some growth on the froggy even after 3 weeks. I'm still waiting till hes big enought for a clown to hoast. Link to comment
Mash2K Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Tigah: What are you upgrading to? I ask because I am considering an upgrade top a 55 that I have sittig in my basement. Also, does your Aqua Medic light cover your tank well? I ask because I have a 30L that is 36" long. phergus_25: I really am not tryong to hijack your thread. I really like the looks of your tank also. I may try a little more open space on my next one as well. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 no problem man, he is upgrading to a custom 67 gal acrylic. check out his thread for more info. I'm planning on adding updates today with a full tank and some close ups. Link to comment
Mash2K Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I most certainly want to see it. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted January 29, 2005 Author Share Posted January 29, 2005 I havent really changed much in the tank over all. I have moved a few rocks a little and thats about it. The tank over has matured a good bit though. Heres a pic of the whole tank, I'm still planning on adding some rock to the left, like a shelf for some SPS and just to have the cave and stuff. Heres justa little closer pic of the tank I know due to my lack of camera skills the camera is easly destinguishable in the pics sorry, but you get the idea. Heres a pic of the plate, you can see a small peice of food that fell in his mouth. He catches food and spratically gets fed a silverside. Heres a pic of the froggy and the ric. I hope the Ric gains more of a cool color, he gets uglier and uglier by the day. But if he gets too bad i'll move him to a less obvious place or add a few better colored ones around him.

phergus_25 Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 lgoins it's unfortunate that they will even sale those nudi's I agree, i am friends with the store owner so i am going to see if i can convince him to stop stocking them. I think its rediculus to stock an animal that you know will eventualy die for only $13 dollars. really love that red lobophillya must try to find one nw Thanks i envy your tank each time i see it. I plan on having quite a few LPS, but not the the extent of your tank. Well thanks to everyone for checking it out. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 After talking to the LFS they say that they do not but those nudis they accidentaly got thipped to them. I also had quite a shcoking experiance, I went and bought on of the coralife digital themometer and come to find that my tank is at 85.9 degrees. DAMN. So I'm working to fix that as we speak. I'll post pics later today. -greg Link to comment

phergus_25 Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 awsome, thanks its coming along. I want to get some encrusting SPS or LPS to fill it in, i'm not much for zoas tho they would spread quickly. The light is great, Tho i want a diff bulb color, a more blue 20K. Did you get the 20K or the 10K? Link to comment
