BobbyV's New 50 Gallon SCA Starphire Cube Build

[purpletang123]

Awesome tank! Tagging along.

Awesome tank. Going to look great when it's all said and done.

U have more $ in equipment there then you sold your 300 and all its equipment for. So much for a cheep, maintenance free, small setup.

Good luck with the new build.

Yes . . . I went a little over board.

Nice tank that is the size I want to upgrade too. I'm also looking at a IM 50 as well. Ive learned that small is easy to overdo lol. Check out my 8g nano build if you want to see overboard

Picked up the following from WWC.

• WWC Vivid Rainbow Acropora
• WWC Vick's Granulosa Acropora
• WWC Some Where Over The Rainbow Acropora
• WWC Tyree Pink Lemonade Acropora
• WWC Setosa Montipora Acropora
• WWC Ultimate Miyagi Tortuosa Acropora

I am only have room for 2 maybe 3 more acropora. I don't want to over crowd and the XR15 G4 only really has a true 18 inch spread for supporting Acropora SPS at 250 plus par anyway.

Nice acros pickup.

So this "should" be the last of it.

That maybe room for 3 more talk .. .. .. turned into 5 more.

Now I am sure I don't think I could fit one more future colony Acropora under this XR15 G4 without over crowding and shading out another species.

Picked up a few more pieces at WWC.

• WWC Jason Fox Flame Tip Acropora
• WWC Christmas Mirabilis Acropora
• WWC Pearl Berry Acropora
• WWC PC Rainbow Acropora
• WWC WOW Acropora

I know it but I was willing to pay a little more to show documentation of a pest free tank and give my trolls finally peace of mind I was doing all the right things.

You aren't big time until you have a troll fan base. :lmao:

Thanks for the message Roger. Hope you continue to stay awesome in the hobby.

 

[CrazyEyes]

Damn man, I wanna see this beauty in person some day.

 

[Zoahoarder]

Dang that's a great collection. Can't wait to see them all grow out with that scape.

 

[uclamatthew]

Looking great. Can't wait to see more.

 

[BobbyV]

Picked up the following frags to "cram" in.

I suppose I will go dark for a while until these SPS grow out to mini colonies.

Hope my tank matures into something I can be proud off.

• Walt Disney Acropora
• ASD Pheonix Montipora
• WWC Rainbow Orchid Acropora

 

[BobbyV]

My updated summary and complete collection of SPS. (Don't ask what I paid for all of it. It is so far all surviving and with no bugs $$$.)

If these all survive in this 50 gallon cube being supported by the following equipment, that would be impressive to me.

• Walt Disney Acropora
• WWC Some Where Over The Rainbow Acropora
• WWC Vivid Rainbow Acropora
• WWC Vick's Granulosa Acropora
• WWC Jason Fox Flame Tip Acropora
• WWC Christmas Mirabilis Acropora
• WWC Pearl Berry Acropora
• WWC PC Rainbow Acropora
• WWC WOW Acropora
• WWC Tyree Pink Lemonade Acropora
• WWC Ultimate Miyagi Tortuosa Acropora
• WWC Rainbow Orchid Acropora
• ASD Pheonix Montipora
• WWC Setosa Montipora Acropora

Going to eventually pick up a small tang of some sort possibly yellow eyed kole tang, something peaceful and a hard worker. My favorite fish of all time. Blotched Anthias!

I don't believe copepods can be bad for SPS. So no real need for a wrasse. I enjoy not having a lid on the tank.

Going to be a stunner!
