My Red table is falling.....

[MSHUR]

I got home after work and almost had a hard attack. My pride red table collapse, rock stracture couldnt handle the weight. of cause i couldnt even eat my diiner and start thinking what i should do.... here is my temp fix , but i would like to hear from you guys what else i can do? colonie is really big : 25-30" wide and about 20" deep. Should i redo the whole island or leave this rods and let it growth more....dilema

I'll take it off you hands if you can't find something to support it!

can you get some wire ties in there to hold the rock back or epoxy the rocks together to give them more weight??

 

[d-man]

redo or send me half

Buy some dry tonga branch rock from Bulk Reef Supply. Send them these pictures so they know what you are looking for. Perhaps a piece with a nice fork shape on the end.

Add some underwater reef-safe epoxy to the bottom of the rock and do your best to wedge it in there.

OR

You could tie a piece of fishing line to the middle of the colony and run it out of the tank and attach it to your ceiling or something.

^^ lol love it

Frag it and bag it and let your fellow reefers have at it!

 

[speedo2wet]

frag it - send me some and re-secure that bad boy. It will grow back.

if you frag it right down the middle, your support would handle the weight fine, and then i am sure i can find a rock to support the other half in my tank....

Thank you. actually its a good idea with dry tonga branch. i kno wits hard to get tonga branch rock those days.
I really hate to take down this pillar there is a huge purple slimer on the top as you can see. Plus if i take it down i will have to remove some rock and lover coral placement. this red table do best on top with high flow.

 

[MSHUR]

guys,

i really hate to take down this pillar Looks so good!

but, i might have to make some mini colonies and sale them

 

[Znut Reefer]

Wow! Mike thats one large table. It is too beautiful to have to take it down. I would try to see if you can support it with a nice piece of branching tonga rock if you can find some.
If not, you may have to frag some to lighten the load.

 

[MSHUR]

Thank you Fonda. i hope the one i send you will make it to the same piece.Guess i will be looking for some nice piece of rock.

 

[pimp2daizzo]

is it a red planet?

 

[MSHUR]

is it a red planet?

No its not. i have this coral before even red planet got on the market.
originally i got it from Cquarium.com

 

[tmgrash]

Sweet piece! I would try to run the supports at a steeper angle, in time they will grow over with the tanks natural color. Loving the scaping, dont tear it down:eek1:

 

[mdefo25]

Dont let it fall and hit the duncans!! That would be bad news.....

 

[Alex T.]

Wanna trade problems?

 

[Znut Reefer]

Thank you Fonda. i hope the one i send you will make it to the same piece.Guess i will be looking for some nice piece of rock.

I would make a trip to the LFS and see if they have a piece of rock that you'll be able to support it with. I hope the mini colony I got from you grows as well in my tank too.
