yeh its my favorite time to see the tank, almost makes me want solar tubes.... almost. and thanks!

Tom, I see you logged on and maybe you missed this.

I guess I did! But yes, the 400's were nice but not so cost effective, I was also tired of having to worry about placement so much, I have alot more options now.(SE BTW) I added a couple more polyps yesterday and a little refugium! will take some pictures in the morning. I've just about used up every available space in my tank so now I get to just sit back and watch it grow!!

That's great, sounds like you dodged a bullet. Glad everything is coming around for you. Make sure you thank the wifey for the fishroom

You said, "a little refugium", did you mean that literally?

Yeh its a little one, just drilled an extra 10 gallon I had laying around. Been gettin some really good growth lately so I figured I would post a few pictures. I dont know what it is but all my polyps just exploded; babies everywhere!! Anyways....

And I see that you're just letting them grow and not fragging them...:thumbsup:....good for you man.

To what do you attribute the sudden growth spurt? Done anything different?

My friend, I am highly, I mean highly concerned about that Hippo Tang you have. We never talk about it much in this forum, but that Hippo is a known zoa polyp eater. I have even experienced it myself back in the day. Watched him swim up and pop off a head and believe me I kept him fed with alternative food. Others here and all over the net have experienced this as well. As much as I love surgeons ( Tangs ), I would never put one in with a tank full of zoas. Not telling you what to do by any means, just a heads up. Sooner or later, it may take a month or years, but they will decided to eat one and once they get the munchies, it's all over. Just keep a serious eye on him.

I did notice an earlier thread mentioning Regal tangs eating polyps. I have been meaning to get him out since he is getting to big for my tank anyways. However, he is a quick little bastard! Luckily, I haven't seen any zoa munching yet. One thing that i did recently was scrape all my polyps I had on plugs off and just superglued them to the rock work. A week later my polyps double and even triple, if I had a 4 polyp frag it had 8 babies around it the next week. Maybe in healing it spurred new polyp growth? What ever it is I'm happy with it!! How is your tank doing mucho? I think its about time you update!!
Cheers
