side view

 

Whats this called?

 

Refugium

 

The whole thing

 

My frogspawn. One of the things died in a overheating accident a 2 weeks ago. The temp got to 90+ degrees. Its doing better now.

Here's a pic of the refugium plumbing too.

nice tank i really like that "unknown" coral it lokks pretty cool. i like your selection of other corals too,Chris:)

[Metznreef]

the one below "what's this called" is a candy cane coral i believe. is that thing on the red shroom rock a striped mushroom?

jim, i thought about using one of those overflow tubes for a refugium just like you have there.  i wasn't sure if it would work or not.  so you pump from the 10 to the refugium, then it overflows back to the 10?  i guess that is a safer method than what i came up with, which involved another sump underneath just to take the overflow and pump back into my 10, which would have a pump into the 20, which would overflow to the sump...

 

the only prob i see with my setup is if one of the pumps fail, i'd be in deep (trouble =).  i may try your method though, somehow.  thanks for sharing that...=)

btw, those lights look just like mine also, did you get those off of ebay?  i like my setup alot. =)

[JIM27]

I got them both at my lfs.

Nice looking tanks Jim. How much were your lights for each tank?

[JIM27]

Glad you like it. The lights were $100 for the 2x36 watt and $40 for 2x13watt.

nice choice of corals. the refug plumbin looks pretty simple. i might try something like that.

[gabe3eb]

That would be commonly known as a candy cane coral. And the unknown shroom is just a shroom. No biggy, shrooms come in all different variaties so I wouldn't be worried at all. The only suggestion that I would make is maybe some more live rock... Good looking stuff though,

Nice setup.  I like the frogspawn and the candy coral, and I think it does need a little more rocks,

[JIM27]

I got back from the lfs. I picked up some scarlet hermits, snails, and a purpleish frogspawn. I'll post a pic of it when its acclimated and open.

i noticed you are from cali, the guy i got my lights from off ebay says he sells to area fish stores in cali.  i bet they came from the same place.  =)

Probably.

 

As promised in an earlier post, here's the new frogspawn. It opened up extremly quick. It only been in the tank for like 4 hours.

 

 

I think it makes the tank look much more complete.  I hope you all like it.

Nice setup

 

The little shroom with the radiating stripes is I believe, a type of Discosoma.
