Ryan, I love your tank! The new corals look awesome. I love the Neon green frogspawn that you got from JR. I got one the same size from the same parent family. Does that make us brothers? Mine is awesome, and the little frogspawn buds are just starting to take off..

 

[thrlride]

My little buds are taking off too! I've got like 9 all around, some tiny and some the size of nickles.

looking good, ordered my 120 gallon to replace my 75... the 75 will become the sump... Only paid $130 for the new one too!!! What a steal huh?

 

[thrlride]

$130 for a 120 in an awesome price!

 

[JustOneMoreTank]

Wow. I paid $440 for my 120RR tank. Great find at only $130. Is it drilled? Even if not you could do it yourself and save a ton.

I really want a 6' long tank now. I don't mind the 18 depth but would like more swimming room for my fish...

I'd go broke trying to stock it though! Heck, I'm going broke stocking this one.

Today I bought an orange plate coral, a deresa clam and a teal/red ricordia. They gave me what he called a bottle brush coral for free after that...

[Toddrtrex]

ive seen this thread a few times, but dont think i posted. im setting up a 90, and was wondering how the tangs are? that would be awesome to get a purple and a yellow, and ive seen it done, but that was a 400 gallon! also, do you have a tank lined up for the blue tang? because i love them, but im not moving out for another four years... freakin high school... and my parents are NOT going to let me get a 72" long tank.

he doesn't need one. he got the hippo from me. in the last 2 years, it hasn't grown at all. i had it in my old 90 gallon. same thing for the yellow. it stopped growing a couple years ago. they're the perfect size for a 90 now.

 

[astronaut]

wierd

 

[thrlride]

I imagine if they were put in a 180 or what not they may start growing again but they haven't grown any for me.

I was worried about the yellow and purple together and watched them very closely for a while. As soon as I acclimated the purple I added some nori to the tank and they both were eating together immediately.

I was releaved!

 

[thrlride]

Okay peps...

Here's some pics!
