20g BB SPS nano

I'll be the 1st to say it, Tang in a 20 ey......j/p. someone's gotta bust your chops

Nice tank :thumbsup: Is that the magical rock I keep hearing about? The one that grows corals...:lol:

I love the look of just 2 piece of rock towering in the tank. It's pretty tight.

 

[BreadmanMike]

Love it! It looks like you can squeeze a couple more frags in there.

I've got a soli that is healing from a bad kalk OD. I can get you a frag when it heals if you like?

 

[glassbox-design]

thanks for the offer, i may have to take you up on it

i wont be fragging for a little while yet, but if you want any frags of my pieces...lmk.

 

[BreadmanMike]

If you want, I have three very small frags for you.

1)Blue tip Kimbeensis
2)Green/Purple tip Soli
3)Green/Blue tip Batunai

I just glued them down on some rubble. If you want them, I'll send you a pm when they are ready.

 

[glassbox-design]

I was planning on getting the soli from "chicago", but you have my interest... can you snap some pics? lmk how much you'd like for them.

 

[BreadmanMike]

They are free. They were all wild pieces, so if I spread them around, I have a good chance at getting a frag back if they die on me.

I'll see what I can do for pics. They are really beat up right now from the kalk OD.

 

[BreadmanMike]

These were the pics from the vendors. I do not have a healthy pic of the soli.

Kimbeensis

Batunai. I guess the base on this is a bit brownish on this, but the polyps are amazing and the tips are an icy blue color.

 

[glassbox-design]

wow they look great! sending you a PM now...

Possibly a very stupid move on my part, but we will see. A store near by is off loading all their fish stuff...including corals. i noticed a brown coral underneath a pile of LR. I dug it out and it turns out it's a near dead encrusting montipora. i'm guessing it may not make it, but i dont have the heart to not try and know it will die.

i remember seeing it there a month or so ago and it had monti nudis...i dont see any on it, but it is going through a heavy inspection and dip process as i type this...pics to come of this large brown blob

very nice and clean!!

 

[marlon17]

Nice tank!!! I am setting up a nano tank too! Do you mind telling the details of your t5s?

 

[glassbox-design]

the monti looks like it will pull through. honestly i've never seen an SPS in such poor shape. no RTN, but barely no symbiotic algae. it's turning yellow green and it has already developed polyps...that happen to by pink/purple.

growth is at an all time high. i'm having trouble keeping up. I ran out of kalk solution and after a late night i didnt replace it. cal dropped below 300... i've been adding small amounts to vinegar to help with the increase demand.

Do you mind telling the details of your t5s?

I run 1 aquablue, 2 blue+, and 1 GE 6.5K.

reefgeek carries them. it's a crisp white light. I'd like to throw in a fiji purple in the mix... in person they pop colors like i've never seen any t5 bulbs do

[dohc97]

Hey i just read this thread Eric, there will be no kicking of my posterior! Great setup Eric, guess what? im possible back as early as next week with a 20 gallon finnex m tank

 

[glassbox-design]

thanks jose. about time you get another tank ha! are you out in IN, or staying here where you belong :lol: anything you want from my tank your welcome to, lmk.

 

[dohc97]

im staying here atleast until next summer, im going t5 again and possibly bare bottom too. Ill see, who do you think has the best looking lr around here?

 

[glassbox-design]

honestly i'm out of the loop, no car=no LFS to visit. maybe check out premium aquatics in person and hand pick some pieces. those M tanks are nice, if you need any help setting it up give me a call.

 

[BreadmanMike]

Unfortunately those corals and frags all RTN'd. I'm sorry.
I feel really bad about it.

I'm going to take that new nano down too. Just not enough time for another tank in my life.

 

[nick540]

Very, very nice tank there, your corals have great growth. maybe i missed it but what lighting are you using?
