Beautiful acans. Where did you order them from?

 

[calvin415]

Gonzo.

 

[6Speed]

love those! esp the first and last!

 

[calvin415]

Thanks! Yeah, can't wait to get them!

 

[calvin415]

Some more fish are ordered...

Yasha Hashi w/ Pistol
Helfrichi Firefish
McCoskers Flasher Wrasse

That should complete the livestock side of things...

Reefstock on Saturday, hoping to pick up a few more things to complete the coral side of things... Thinking a nice lobo, and a screaming dendro and maybe some more acans or blastos. Then things will be complete (for now).

Went through every page and I must say, beautiful setup. Your entire design of the system is one of the cleanest and the location you put is perfect. The counter-top is a good set off too

Thanks for the kind words! I'm hoping to get some new pics after this weekend, need to start trying to see growth rates with my new dosing/feeding schedule.

 

[6Speed]

can't wait to see the new pics. are you using standard airline hose for the kalk reactor? it looks really flexible in the video. if so, I had no idea it would work with the quick disconnects!

Yes it is standard airline tubing... Same diameter as the rigid stuff.

Beautiful scolys! How do you like the Reef Octopus skimmer?

 

[calvin415]

Thanks! Love the Reef Octopus, couldn't be happier with the performance!

 

[calvin415]

And some new FTS... Hopefully things will start growing in.

 

[calvin415]

Figured I'd post some pics so I can get a baseline for growth on some corals from FragStock...

Dood, seriously sweet looking LPS pieces!! Can't you crack them off the plugs and place in the sand though? I think it would clean up the look a ton until they grow out.

At any rate, looking awesome and this is the 2nd time now that you have made me want to setup an LPS tank!

 

[calvin415]

Thanks! Yes, I plan to bust them off the plugs, but want to give them plenty of time to heal up from being chopped recently. Once they are eating regularly and puffing up, then I'll glue them to the rocks. Don't want to stress them any more...

Guess it is time to setup an LPS tank huh?

Real nice looking setup, looks like a little candy shop

 

[calvin415]

Thanks, yeah some don't like the fruit basket look, but I would love for it to look like a candy bowl! I've mounted half the frags to the rock work, it really helped open up the sandbed and once the remaining acans are recovered and puffing, I'll work on mounting them as well. More pics soon.
