Who did you trade with and what did you trade for the Purple Urkel Chalice?

 

[DFason]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I have been VERY busy and honestly thinned a few frags out. Water changes, dosing and feedings is all that goes on in the tank now-a-days. I plan on adding the two smaller tanks to the system soon but I've been saying that for a year the new plan in still a NPS tank along with a bio-tope for Mini Dart Gobies. One or two stags and a ten-fifteen schoal of the little guys. Its coming on the two year mark which is a really cool feeling too.

Its hard to show you guys how big some of the frags are. They are getting so large that every night something gets stung and I just have to let nature take its course. The only thing I want to add to the tank is a pair of Angel fish. Multibar or Multicolor.

Anyways photo's...

Well I bought my girlfriend a new point and shoot and wanted to test the macro shots out. And wow! I think these turned out very good! The were under Blue+ and Fiji bulbs. Dont mind the red flat worms, they have ALL been sucked up and flatworm exit has just entered the building

Anya ways I think these turned out GREAT! Nothing was adjusted and the colors are very accurate. I love this tank

Setosa and Pals

The Tree House

The Highlighter

Its a Bird, Its a Plane, Its SUPERMAN

Hope you enjoy!

I see flat worms in every pic here. Your corals look great, nice growth.

 

[DFason]

Yea those are older pictures and I have the red flat worms under control. Honestly they don't do anything harmful in the tank. You can see in the new photos that they are almost gone. Hopefully when I have more time I can do a treatment.

The corals are growing like weeds! Thanks!

Nice ank Dave!! I am sending you a pm about a DIY LED I am planning on doing.

 

[jg2269jg]

hey the tank looks great i just read your tank thread and very nice. great color on the corals and nice growth

 

[DFason]

Thanks guys! I've been throwing the idea around.... ELOS 120...

-Dave

 

[DFason]

Oh yea pictures! I love this tank. I have thoughts of upgrading then downgrading then this and that, then I come home to this little guy and just cant get rid of it. I am battling this odd clear slime that is in my sump but I am not to worried about it. I plan on switching to ESV salt and adding ozone sometime. I plan on making a custom efficient fixture for this tank ( 90 LED's running at 350mA with dual controllers, 24"x10 "x1/2") but that is still out in the future. Anyways the corals are growing big, fish are loving life and I'm pleased to say its been two years!

Right Side : War Coral has officially taken over.

I like to call this Icy Island

PPE : I may die before these grow in to a full colony

Setosa : Best Coral Ever

Hope you enjoy!

Do u feed the war coral? I have one that grows so slow. Want to help it along

 

[DFason]

Honestly no. I feed pellets to the fish in the morning and a full frozen cube at night. That is it!

[SPSEMPIRE]

Tank looks great Dave! I see that you are running two mp10's on your tanks. :rollface: How do you like them? You are right about the setosa as far as being the best coral ever. The frags I got from you a while back are doing great. It is hard not to put your pink polyp cap up there with the setosa

 

[DFason]

Something quick.

-Dave

 

[ctxmonitor]

Nice tank Dave!!

What is that coral on the plug? some type of acan or favia?

 

[Versus]

Dave,

I missed it somewhere, what are you doing for calc/mag daily? or are you just doing straight up water changes.

You still playing?

 

[Aimforever]

Dave I just read the whole thread - I love your attention to detail and excitement for the hobby. Your tank has really matured nicely over the last few years. Keep up the great work!

 

[DFason]

Not playing anymore. Dosing is done manually.
Aim - Thanks so much. I'll have some more cool stuff very soon!
Who wants pictures!

Frags look awesome! I also really love the clam up in the rockwork rather than just on the sandbed as you normally see.

 

[DFason]

Still working on the LED unit. I will be out of town for work for 12 days but the little lady will be taking care of it. Nothing to worry about... I hope

I figured a few photos would be fun before I head out.
