Ok its new year. Nice time to document.

My 125 Gal - 4 years:

Sorry I didnt clean the glass first and this is after brand new 400W 15K bulbs.

I can do better with the SLR, but the battery is dead.

those are some nice mature colonies stu ...hope mine looks like that after 4 years

 

[Mantid]

Wowza! Stuart, did you ever make a base or is it all coral growing off each other lol. looks very nice!

 

[stugray]

dv3,

Thanks - Some of those colonies were only 1/3 of the size they are now.
SOME of the larger colonies ( like the danae 1/3 from the right in the back ) were SMALL frags jjst a couple of years ago.

Mantid,

"did you ever make a base or is it all coral growing off each other"

The base is almost entirely Garf Arches & caves.
After 6+ years, you cant tell it from live rock.

Is this a nanocube? The lights make the colors really come out!

Are the frag racks in the first picture attached to the rocks!! Either way the pictures look pretty sweet!!!

 

[Mantid]

Almost looks like they are attached to the front glass??

 

[frickenfragger]

Thanks, and Yes, the ones in front are attached to the glass. I am without a frag tank right now and have no space so I have 6 racks in 2 tanks. I am working on selling some stuff to fund a new frag tank.

Get on it man. This is a not a chance that you get too often. And when you do get a frag tank, we want to see your progress of setting it up! Good luck!

 

[frickenfragger]

I saw that, but don't have room for a 4X4 table in my condo. I have a 20L sitting in my room to set up once I sell some stuff to pay for it.

Here are our two tanks

72 bow front - few fish and starting to add corals

14 biocube - FOWLR

 

[hurrafreak]

Is that second picture going to be a reef tank?? Because I might be mistaken, it happens lol, but I thought choc chip stars were not reef safe??

Above the pic he states:

14 biocube - FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock)

 

[hurrafreak]

Your are not mistaken 1 bit. Those 2 fatties are in that tank and that tank will be rock only because of them. they tried to eat everything in the big tank very quickly so they went to the sump till we got the new tank. Kinda sucks but I love those 2. We had to nurse the big red one back to life so I cant trade him off now.

Anyone know for sure if they eat anenomes? I would like one for my clowns. I have heard they can Eat them and if they can i'm sure these 2 will. I'd think the anenome would sting them though?
