One year old 70 gallon (progession pics)

[pinstripe]

So two years ago I started a 30 gallon cube and quickly found that I needed more room so I went to a 70 almost exactly one year later. Now I would take 1,000 gallons if I could fit it! Anyway, these first two pics are of the original 30, and the 70, both on their first days.

These pics are of my first zoos. I bought 3 polyps a year and a half ago in the 30 gallon. Now check em out!

Here is the full shot from the right to compare to the first post. Also, some of my favorite recent pics. Hope you enjoy, and comments are certainly welcome!

One more progession pic. My trumpet coral after about 6 months, and a change from 10k to 14k phoenix halides.

And my very photogenic yellow tang which my wife has named "Tango" - very original I know. Here he is just showing off. Again, comments welcome and encouraged!

your tank has filled in nicely, great looking bubble coral.

Thanks guys, and if anybody knows how, or has experience with "fragging" a bubble coral (i've read it can be done) please point me to a good source.

spanco thanks for the link, I read something like that before but it seems too dangerous to do without risking killing the larger animal. Maybe someday with a frag tank I might try it.
nycbob, my flame eats what the others eat. I use a 3 food combo almost daily (except on a day or 2 a week when I feed frozen) I use Ocean Nutrition PRIME REEF and SPIRULINA flakes, and I use Thera A+ pellets (tiny) in various proportions. I offer algae sheets about 3-4 days a week to the yellow tang who absolutely attacks the stuff, lately though, the flame has taken a small interest, but it took him about 9 months to figure out he could eat it! I must have looked at 25 different flames at 3 different stores before finding one with the popping color i was looking for.
