Alrighty here are updated shots of my tank.
I like the way my feather duster is surrounded by the xenia.

My monti has doubled in size in like a month

My trachephelia (sp)

The Ricordia are huge now I am going to frag them very soon.

Here you can see the growth progression of my tricolor it is growing like crazy
This is about a month ago or so freshly glued

And this is today it has grown about a half inch on the baserock I glued it to

And the FTS

Hows the sun coral doing? Polyp extension reached 1 foot yet?

 

[peef]

Bahaha, Nope its a measly 11 inches right now..... That would be sweet though if you could somehow keep a suncoral alive for like 50 years and have it grow that big! Thanks for the compliments everyone! Glad you like my tank as much as I do. I had to add an unsightly heater into the tank last night as it is FREEZING here in the keys, dropping down to the bone chilling temp of 50 last night...WOOF! But in three days it should be back to 80 so don't worry too much for me! hahaha

I did the same. It was a bone chilling 50 up here in West Palm too. Freaked when I woke up the next morning and the house termostat said 64. Yea Ill use this heater probably until tomorrow and never use it until this time next year

HOLY COW!! Youve got the healthiest sun coral Ive ever seen. Its like the ones in the books. Kudos to you. Go update your pic in all those sun coral threads and have people awe over it hahah.

 

[kat74]

GORGEOUS tank!!!~~

Can I have it??

Seriously.... I LOVE it!!~ The colors complement each other so well. Everything looks so healthy and that sun coral is the best I have ever seen!!~

 

[peef]

Thanks alot!!!!! I really really like yours as well. I am very proud of my sun coral, I still can't believe it didn't win in the photo contest though. But eh, what can you do

??? I can't WAIT until I get my next tank. I am waiting for Fedel Castro to log back on to arrange a pick up for it.

Oh man. Last time I saw one of his threads it was a huge tank. This is going to be something to watch as well haha

 

[perfectdark]

Hey man.. tank is looking great... your gorg looks healty, good deal. And obviously your sun coral is a show stopper...

I posted a pic of the coral you sent me on my thread... its been open and happy for a while now.

 

[peef]

Sweet, on the way to check it out. And thanks, yeah the gorg has been dropping some branches and any time it looks like Necrosis might be setting in, it frags itself in that spot....pretty easy for me. Growing quite fast as well!

 

[peef]

So my huge bully of a clown fish is getting traded to the LFS... I feel REALLY bad doing it but he is out of control now. He won't even let my PJ cardinal eat, he steals the food from my corals, bites ANY thing new in the tank....GOOOOO he frustrates me soooooooooo much. So yeah I am going to trade him in for a smaller teeny tiny one. Does anyone know if a TINY (1inch) clown hosting a fairly large anem (8 inch across when inflated) is a bad thing?

 

[ilikesalt]

patrick answer your phone...its phil..your tank looks good i want to come by and see it

 

[lbaskball]

WOW, nice tank. How long has it been setup now? Can I ask what your cleanup crew is?

 

[peef]

It has been setup since mid aug...
Right now my clean up crew is roughly as follows
8-10 turbo/astrea snails
2 emerald crabs
7-8 redleg hermit
6-7 blue leg hermit
1 queen conch
I need to pick up like 2 or 3 turbo snails
I also had 3 peppermint shrimp that were AWESOME scavengers BUT they stole all the food they could from my corals that needed spot fed. My suncoral was more important than the peps so I got rid of them.
