Wish I had your skills, I'd love to get a Scopas tang in here as well. This kole is somewhat of a prick so I don't think that'll fly. Unless you have a tip for me?

I'd like to add 3-5 anthias depending on type and a CBB. That'll complete the tank for me

I may give that a go. Not sure about 2 tangs in a 100 though. What types of anthias were you keeping? I love those tiger queens amd thinking of giving them or sunsets another shot. I love Bartlett's but they always seem to get aggressive.

Haha thanks David. Setting up a new tank?


Big that's to Will (bustayanky) for hooking it up yesterday. I picked up two frags , a Diobalic Pacman and AOA chemical warfare.

Sounds like a sweet group. Who went male and took everyone out?

Rhomboid suddenly had no interest in the red velvet, so I released him today. So far so good.

Side shot activity

I'm just drooling over this!

What is the coral in the bottom left of the two last pics?

Thank you Tyrone!

That would be a miami hurricane chalice. One of my favorite pieces in the tank. It has me thinking of trying a few more chalices. I lost a "gold member" chalice a while back that I got from A Chance of Coral, along with a few others.

Well apparently my wrasses didn't get my aiptasia eating nudibranchs, at least not this one. I saw him on the glass fairly early, right when the lights turned off last night, and now hes out with the lights on this morning. I see no aiptasia in my tank so I'm guessing hes starving out.

Going to try and catch him if I see it tonight. Looks pretty big, maybe an inch.

I'll take him if your getting rid!? I got a few small ones a couple weeks ago and they don't seem to be doing the job.

Sure Sal. I'll shoot you a pm when I catch it.

The tank is looking really good Matt.

here's mine. Same thing I think...

Thanks Matt, that birdsnest was popping once I got it under the reefbrites. Thanks again.

View attachment 52572 here's mine. Same thing I think...

That looks amazing. Mine is just in too high of light I think so it's much lighter.

Interesting.. Mine is up fairly high too. I also run Halide/T5. Was thinking about hitting you up to see your system. Your stuff looks really great. I also read that you run a calcium reactor on the thread the Ev'e [MENTION=4657]OGFrenchHorn[/MENTION] started. Kinda wanted to pick your brain a bit. Been thinking about DIYing a knockoff of possibly the Geo reactor with a tweak or 2.
You ever go to the SCMAS meetings? These is one tomorrow and I'll be there.....

I told a friend we would watch their son tomorrow night so I wont be able to make it. I do want to go to them in the future though. They sound great.

You're welcome to stop by and check the tank out & talk reef. My sps are in a slump from a nutrient spike but look to be coming back around... I hope .

Pulling the GFO and removing the majority of the GHA in the tank let my ATS get some growth going. This is just under 3 weeks in I believe. Did a real light scrape rinsed in ro and put it back in. I moved my light intensity up to 75% and increased the duration to 15 hours a day.

Anyone have an opinion on whether this female wrasse is going sub - male on me? Not sure. I'd like to have a pair, I'm thinking itd be better to add a female at this point. Opinions?

Def looks to be going male to me..
You really should come to a meeting. They are fun and interesting.

I may hit you up over the weekend to see if you are around to talk Reef. I'll shoot you a PM as soon as I know what my schedule looks like.

Phone pic update - somethings up with my good camera, putting a red haze across the top of all photos, just sucks.

Starting to get some color back in my sps. I'm pretty sure I had my ATI too close to the water. I've raised it from 6" to 11" above the water line. Its been about 6 weeks and I'm starting to see some color return but polyp extension increased immediately. Some of my yellows are tinted green now so I think I'll lower it an 1" and observe once all my sticks regain color.

Still battling that **** GHA & bubble algae. I've held off on removing more sand as its just another place for GHA to grow.

I won a CaliKid Coral bid on a monti and picked up 2 others as well - Devgru - pink with turquoise polyps not sure of the other. Copper/orange with pink polyps, pretty sweet. Also picked up a rainbow monti. If I can get them to hold color and do well down low I'll be selling most my z&p to fund some more.
