Here is a quick update of my tank after RAP. Picked up the majority of my pieces before RAP from Crystal. Best deals EVER! Also got two pieces from Steve Garrett and three from Leo.

When i see your tank i think of the guns n roses song "welcome to the jungle"! Bro, I think you need a 150 gallon tank in less than a year after things start growing out! And i just fragged my red dragon as its getting to big to be on my frag rack. Was starting to touch other sps and that isnt a good thing. :-(

It's a Subulata from Garret and Chef don't encourage him!

This is the plan.. to fill my tank with so much stuff that I'll be forced to upgrade.. MUAHAHAHA

Great Stuff you have there. Be careful once things start to grow, you'll get a lot of the acros competing for space

 

[shinninja]

Your tank looks awesome!!!!!

Yeah. I'll move things around as needed. The question is.. when is the growth going to come!?!?!?

Your tank looks awesome!!!!!

Thank you! Yours isn't too bad either.

To me, the Garrett piece looks like a tenuis

I dunno. Garrett says it's a subulata and subulatas can look like tenuis.

Nice pickups at RAP. Did you see that crazy blue tenuis Leo had?

Yeah dude.. it was so sick.. but $140.. that's ridiculous

 

[All Delight]

LOL yeah it was sick and yeah 140 is crazy.

If it was $70 I maybe would have gotten it. I got two frags of the sapphire millie, pink prostrata, and sunset for $100 so I thought I did well. Those purple dragon eyes are insane too.. $225 is absurd though.

Stop trolling RC and get back to your studies!!

Well, you've all seen pictures of my fish tank but you've never seen a video. A picture can't convey the motion that occurs in the world of the artificial glass box so I decided to make a video instead.This is the first video I have EVER made so please take it easy. I moved the camera around WAY too much but now I know. I will make a better one next time. This one took me about an hour to edit and put together so not too long but I had never used any type of video editing program before so I don't think it came out too bad. Put in 1080p and enjoy!

Whaa? I've been looking for Sapphire everywhere at RAP and I could not find it...

Updating my thread as I haven't posted pictures in a while. I've added a couple of new SPS from Reef Raft in OC. It's a great store with great prices. Tony's nephew really hooked me up with some nice pieces at $10 per frag. This includes a yellow millie and a pink millie as well. One of the cleanest stores I've ever been to.

I ran into a great deal on a new tank. I picked it up this weekend in OC. Dimensions are 36x24x20 so I'll be upgrading when I get my steel stand built and when I have more time to set it up and transfer everything. I'm currently holding over 50 species of SPS in my fish tank and I figured I better upgrade sooner than later to give my corals some room to grow.

The tank has been doing really well. I've always been one to constantly mess with my tank but as of lately, I haven't had much time and it's resulted in lots of growth and great PE and colors in almost all of my corals. Stability most definitely promotes success. I attribute leaving my tank alone, consistent 10% water changes weekly, and dosing for my new growth and colors. Enjoy the pictures guys
