The 120 is still up & running for now.
am having troubles with some corals while others thrive. Seems I can do no wrong with purple and blue acros.
... my pinks and greens seem to be another story, very odd as other than alk being a bit high (12-14 dkh on a Salifert kit) my params are pretty solid. My PO4 swings from ND to ,04 on my Hanna meter.
This valida has come back from a vicious MH burning after weekend long return pump failure.
Thus tort was never bluer
My Miami orchid, now moved away from my suddenly stingy RBTA is thriving.

I stopped cutting to let some of the pieces grow out so that I'll have a couple of good sized colonies for when I do fill the big tank. (If I ever get to it!) But, I've also been picking up new frags , and they are starting overgrow the racks.
Not to worry though with all this moving, there'll be plenty of incidental fragging

I am hoping to use stags, a couple of caps and some millies along with the valida nd nana colinies to cover some ground. I want to give these lots of room to grow. I save some choice spots for the high light slow growers like my torts.
Here's an unknown stag looking piece I picked upat OG II ( a pretty good LFS) about 2 months ago, starting to sprout
Here's an unknown piece I got at Stan's (smcooler) about 5 weeks ago also starting to strout growth buds, it's also kinda stag-like, it's insanely green in person!
I just got this Gomezi from OG II about two weeks ago, talk about yout high light slow growers, awesome blue color though. That's a hawkins next to it from the club swap in October doing well too
A bottle brush (looks better in person) and a teal stag I just got from Stan too. These guys should suck up some calcium and put on some serious growth ounce they decide to get going, the bottle brush seems to be almost there.
These stag frags, along with the Miami Orchid and sprawling blue tip stag I already have growing well should cover some space.

Things are moving slowly with the 375 swap. I am determined to complete all stands, both display and sump/frag/fuge stands before doing anything else of any real measure. My lease renewal is, again, up in the air as well, so I am looking for a new space, just in case. Given the economy, a smaller less costly space may be a good idea anyway. so I am taking my time and building and modifying the stand the way I want it.
So I had picked up a tenetti tang and it been through QT so I added it to the display. What an awesome fish!
He's much smaller than the other fish including the largest, a fox face, a FAT yellow tang, a boisterous heniocus butterfly, and a absolutely nutty coral beauty. These guys can be known to give new comers the business for a day or two, but not the tenetti! Other fish include, a pair of o. clowns, a trio of BG chromis, a azure damsel and an orchid dottyback.
The tenetti really holds his own. He actually will rip nori right out of the yellow's mouth!
And an FTS ...

Hey Laurence!
Yeah, I have a 375 , 96 x 30 x 30, planning for a 600 g system volume overall, I am refurbishing the stand, canopy, and lighting, building stands for the frag, fuge and such. But, I am also in a position where I may have to move my offices, once again! So I am waiting for that situation to stabilize .... again! :mad2:
Where ever I go, space for the beast will be a primary consideration :rollface:
Are you going to frag that monster Valida?<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14658549#post14658549 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Bax
