FarmerTy 215-gal No Water Change SPS Tank

[reefmutt]

It begins! I'm starting to finish out the bar and cabinet doors as planned.

That's going to look great when It's all finished. Nice!

Yes sir! Takes them about 4-5 months to round back out and to get to a good size again.

How big do they get when they are full grown?

 

[FarmerTy]

Pretty good size. My last one before it split naturally was almost 7-8" across. My clones are usually about 3-4" when healed, not likr those little 1-2" ones I see for sale sometimes.

I stopped doing a waiting list for them though. Too much trouble keeping up with people and updating. I'll finish out the 15-person waitlist and just post whenever one comes available after that, no reserve... But that's going to be awhile. [emoji4]

Hey Corey, thanks a lot sir.

I had a DIY hybrid LED/T5 setup which included 3 Ocean Revive fixtures modified with more warm whites and 3 supplemental T5 bulbs and went to an ATI T5 8 bulb fixture. The old hybrid is on my frag tank now and the DT itself is slowly adjusting to the all T5 look. So far so good though a couple of acros are still adjusting.

These gonis glow under my new SBReef Actinic Bars...

 

[FarmerTy]

Shame on me, I never documented the addition of the SBReef 60" actinic bar. It's like a better looking, cheaper version of the reefbrite LED bar everyone adds to make their corals pop.

I went from LEDs as the main light with T5 supplements to T5 as the main light with LED supplements. The jury is still out on which is better as my tank hasn't quite settled in yet but I'll let everyone know!

 

[FarmerTy]

It's starting to really come together! I'll have to do some spackling and sanding to be ready for the final day when we get the cabinet doors up.

Also, my wife already vetoed the square corners so I'll have to replace the top board to go all the way to the side boards. No corners for this guy.

 

[FarmerTy]

Who's ready for a treat?

Looking good ty.

Yeah, after you told me about all those great deals you got at Macna, I went shopping for my own goodies. [emoji12]

 

[Jndragon79]

Nice man. I'm sure they will turn into some nice specimens for you.

It begins! And no, I'm not talking about my hand modeling career. [emoji12]
