Looking for like minded enthusiasts

[harleybraydin]

I've been out of the hobby for about 5 yrs since we moved to Alabama. We had a 120 reef tank for about 6 yrs when we was in Northwest Ohio with many friends also in to reef tanks. There was always a frag swap or something going on. Even if it was a bunch of us just getting together. I recently set up a 150 about a month ago. Obviously still just rock at this time but I miss the comrodery of being around people that enjoy this wonderful hobby as much as I do. So I guess I'm looking for people in the Montgomery area. our tanks are more enjoyable when we can share them and our experience with them.

I live in Montgomery, we are VERY limited in retail reef stores here. Corey has an amazing reef tank.

 

[harleybraydin]

Yeah there is very few options around I've noticed. I'll post a few pics of my tank in a few not much to see at the moment lol

Add some star polyps Friday. Finally done cycling so slowly gonna add a few corals over the next few weeks.

I bought some green star polyps from my lfs several months back. It was covering a rock about the size of my fist. So I put it next to my overflow box and it quickly jumped on and started growing on it. I sold the original GSP back to the lfs and I now have my overflow box mostly covered with GSP. It's so pretty, especially flowing in the current!

 

[mattsreefadise]

GSP looks so nice when its covering up the ugly things in our tank!

 

[harleybraydin]

I am going with a bunch of matting corals for this build. Wanna cover as much of the aqua scape as possible.

 

[mattsreefadise]

start collecting you some rare zoas!
That way it's not just regular ole GSP and watermelon zoas.

 

[harleybraydin]

That's what I'm looking at. Some people want an arm and a leg for zoa's anymore. It's crazy.

 

[mattsreefadise]

I know.
I'm growing some zoas out now, in a Zoa garden.
I don't plan of fragging them, but if they get too much, I'll prob just end up giving them away.
i got some nice zoas too.
Utter Chaos Zoas, some crazy pink paly's, and my favorite "Orange Monsters"
I don't have pictures, but I'll get em on here eventually

 

[harleybraydin]

That's probably how I'm going to have to do it. Small frag and grow them out.

 

[mattsreefadise]

I'm also doing an Acan garden.
The same idea as the zoa garden, but with acans. All on a rock.
Eventually they would morph into each other.
That's when things get awesome.

 

[harleybraydin]

Sweet never done acans before. My last reef was mostly sps. I never was good with soft corals.

 

[harleybraydin]

Update on set up. Everything is starting to color up nicely. Getting to to fun part now.
