Thanks Armando, here's a shot from the front.
I wanted to do something a little different with it, rather than just have it sticking straight up.

Glad to see that you back up & running, truly amazing. Hope you get TOTM.

Do you ever direct feed any of your brain corals? What do you think they eat in your tank?
 
Tanks, FastUno.
I feed the corals 1-2 times a week. I use mysis, daphnia, and cyclopeeze in a syringe. I feed the Blastos, Acan Lords, Scolymias, Brains, Cup Corals, Plate Coral, Sun Corals, hammers, frogspawn, trumpets, and lobophylia.
They all eat light also except the suncorals so feeding isn't really necessary
 
Great job putting the tank back together Greg.... I'm planning a trip up to Atlanta in about 3 weeks to spend some of my "Fathers Day" money to "Restart" populating my tank... Right now I have (1) pulsing xenia... lol... So I have a looong way to go to get where you're at.... Wish me luck...
 
Mines a 150gal. 72" X 22" X 18.5" . Here's how it looks right now...Not the best shot... I caught some reflection from a nearby window...

By the way Greg, when you feed the nori to your fish ... Is there anything that you do to it before putting it in the water on the clip..??? Or do you just put it in..?? My wife picked me up some sushi nori the other day ... I'm trying to find a shop that has a clip ( may have to order one on-line ) but until I start feeding it to my Tangs I just wanted to know what, if anything, I have to do to it...
 
When you direct feed your corals, with so many fish, do you find that the fish pick off the food. Sometimes the corals may not be getting as much as expected due to this.
 
fishman, The rockwork looks nice! Major potential when you get some coral. That isn't an aptasia on the left is it? I don't do anything special with the nori except break it in half and put it in 2 clips on opposite sides of teh tank. Good Luck!

Snake~Eyes, I don't know if you were talking to me but mine are 72, 18, 20.

FastUno, of course the fish eat some, I turn off all of the pumps and fog out the tank spot feeding. I turn the pumps back on and the skimmer takes out the leftovers. I also do it late at night when the fish are less active.

hckycoz, I haven't decided, it will be a little while for me but I here a lot of good things about ASM skimmers from local reefers.

No partner that's not an aptasia.... it's my Condy anemone.... Thanks for the good remark on the rockwork ... that's 230lbs of the stuff and the coraline is really building up .... I'm chomping at the bit to start populating this thing .... But after a bad 1st start, I'm going to take my time and do it slowly.... Can't afford to throw any maore hard earned cash down the drain ...

My leather has grown crazy fast, it was about a fifth of that size when I got it about 6 months ago. It has a 12" diameter now.

fishman805, whew, I was worried for a minute, couldn't tell for sure. Take your time and always go for quality pieces rather than quantity.

Yup, :rollface: didn't cut it anymore. Slick is the man! My Devil's Hand is growing kinda slow. At first I didn't think it was growing at all, but I moved it today, to see if it would like a new spot, and it has been growing in the back all along. A whole new flap thing. It should start to kick off soon, it's base is getting fatter too.
 
My sister took the camera again :(
I'll have pics soon I hope. I'm mounting an assault on the valonia. Turns out it came back in greater numbers, though smaller bubbles, after a brief intermission. Here is my plan basically:

I have a huge tarp and three 40g tubs. Complete manual removal sometime within the next month of the little demons. 1st tub = tank water/place to keep rocks when they are taken out. 2nd tub = place to clean/rinse algae off. 3rd tub = replacement water. Then all the remainders will be dealt with by my infantry emeralds
 
I need your guys opinion. I want to replace my trigger and I was thinking blue throat but what if I got a harlequin tusk instead? What do you guys think?

You can't tell from the far away shot of the anemone but he's about 10" across opened up right now ... I've not heard that aptasia can get that big.... But anyway, you can bet I'll be going for "quality" and not "quantity" this go around... I'll post pic's as I go...
