50 Cube SPS Zeo Reef

[biggles]

I like simple stuff Nils, no way i could be stuffed putting something like that together mate. Looks cool though, mine will be running horizontally not upright to avoid detritus build up.

I'm definitely intrigued to see what goodies or inaction you get from running some carbon! I'll need frequent updates haha how many magic beans are you going to run?? lol

I mean matrix media stones Dom, not activated carbon. Like your container of magic zeo stones. I'm going to add 4L of stones to start and see what's what in a few months i guess. They won't be doing a lot until the bacteria become established.

I don't think I could manage to build something like that either :headwallblue: lol

haha I did correct my post, to the stones but yeah, it'll be a few months too lol hopefully some goodness though :lol2:

Nice chalice :bigeyes: what about the Clarion?

Yeah, I'm absolutely stoked with it The clarion is a little out of my price range but I would LOVE one :rollface:

 

[Wrangy]

Water change done today, nice and clean again New carbon to go into the tank in a minute as well!


Just some awesome zoa's too

 

[reefmutt]

Wow! What secret (and probably illegal) biggles potion are you adding to pull such fantastic red/orange from your corals??
I want some!!
Very nice
Those sky blue zoas are really nice, too.

It's something that Kevin strongly opposes the collection of :uhoh3: :lolspin: haha nah, there's no magical secret here. I do use zeo but Biggles doesn't so who knows what it is lol although the firetruck while an amazing and rare coral, it is made of some bloody tought stuff!! And dead easy to keep (at least I've found).
Thanks though mate, it's a real compliment coming from you

 

[biggles]

Damn mate, that chalice is crazy nice. I can't believe i'm saying it but i like those baby blue zoas a lot too......:uhoh3:
Your photos and camera work has improved dramatically of late, really impressed with your pics now mate. :thumbsup:

Btw, i now look for the firetruck every time you post a FTS lol........... i bet lots of others will be doing the same......

Ahh... Interesting.. I have a secret.. That I never told Andrew.. Male Canadian moose have the same 'secret ingredient'.. Lucky for them, the antlers aren't the ONLY part of their anatomy that grows back...

It is one of the best that I've seen around here in quite some time! And I knew I could get you with a zoa eventually :lol2: it's the radium that's made them look this good
Wow, thanks for the compliment. I have been working hard at my camera skills of late so I'm really glad to hear it's working and I didn't edit any of the three photo's either, they're all straight off the camera too

I look at every time a take one as well haha I think I've gained some attention because of it lol

hahahaha :lmao::lmao: excellent!

Taking pics regularly, especially top downs lets you catch potential problems much sooner than you would normally. It's good for your coral and reef husbandry imo as your eye for detail improves dramatically.

Dave managed to sell me a lobo last week............ A LOBO DOM !!! :spin2:

Keep that bit about the lobo between you and i btw please mate

 

[reefmutt]

Biggles bought a lobo!!!!


Biggles got flubber!!!!

Biggles has been hoarding the flubbery blubbery corals in his sump... :fun2:

 

[biggles]

I hide lots of stuff behind the two islands boys..............

He really does, I've seen all the flubber hidden in between the islands and out of camera shot :lolspin:

 

[Wrangy]

I suppose it's about time I made a small update on things seeing as I haven't done my weekly updates. I've had some photo's to put up for a week or so but I've been a little lazy lol

First cab of the rank is a new addition to the fishy friends! I've been waiting for quite some time for the right Kole Tang specimen to show up at the local and when I went down this morning, I had the choice of 3! haha so needless to say I've come home with a brand new buddy!


Aside from that little gem everything is running along smoothly! so we'll start with Andrew's favourite flubbers


And the magic rack


And some lovely frags of another kind! These little ones stay brown and crappy until they reach a certain size then it's pink and green with nice white tips!

 

[Wrangy]

Now for what we've all come for, the acro's!
Efflo getting it's encrust on:




Spathulata going strong and the growth tips are killer!


Crappy photo of an awesome acro haha


I think I need to start adding a little something something to deepen the colour off a little more


Robusta


And the top of the tank




And of course the bit everyone loves, the firetruck

 

[M007]

Outstanding photo update, you've got some real beauties

 

[sahin]

SPS look lovely. :beer: You need to send frags of that Firetruck worldwide mate...starting with the UK...to me.

 

[jroovers]

Don't forget about your friends in NA, namely Canada Does anyone else have a frag of that, even a small one? If not, you need to get a piece to someone else, that is an acro worth spreading around to ensure it isn't lost! You have some incredible corals with amazing colours.
