Just finished acclimating everyone. Here's a video showing the survivors of sandy in their new home.

alright let me update this. a lot of my frags / mini colonies / corals are rescues and are just starting to bounce back.

here is my new sump, this pic is probably a good 1-1.5 months old.

this pic is as of this morning. check out the chaeto growth!

love this mili

my meteor showers doing much better, lobo is bouncing back.

orange/gold hammer? not sure yet! still opening up, lights just turned on.

i love these pink goni's. the green/blue/orange goni is pretty badass!

the chalice recovery corner. the mummy eye chalices have grown back so nicely. im waiting on the watermelons to do the same! can anyone id that one paly/zoa? pink green and blue..this is a bad pic(along with all my other pics, i really should learn how to take pictures)

another cool mili! the mili towards the bottom is supposed to be a smurfette. i hope it bounces back soon!

my clown loves to ruin my pictures. i think this is him getting back at me for not feeding him more.

fts!

i added some more snails to help clean up and sift my sand. it's tough trying to clean the glass with my current live stock. i am going to be splitting almost all my livestock once my friend get's his tank running. i thought about upgrading, but i just got this tank!

No input?

So where the corals from the old tank? Or are they new? You mentioned they were rescues.

rescues from a friend's tank, i should have mentioned that. the only coral that remains from the old tank are the Acans, the small red digi frag, and what appears to be a red planet frag, i'm not sure yet. it did not have the colors it currently has now.

What setting do you run the vortech on? Mine kicks sand up something terrible. I have the seaflor special grade sand.

How far do you have the flow turned up?

 

[Chrissypoo]

whats the intensity on your radion?

 

[premilove]

How far do you have the flow turned up?

Maybe 55-60%

 

[premilove]

49-50% I have slowly adjusted by 1% twice every week.. I'm thinking about continuing but haven't moved it up for about two weeks. Still need to do some more research. The reason I haven't is bc my tank is only 12" deep and with sand, probably 9" of water depth. I don't think I have any reason to increase my radion more. I put frags towards the top as testers to see if they get beached out, but nothing yet.

the tank is looking great now, everything looks so healthy!

Thanks! Hopefully it stays that way!

Looks great.
Try a sandshifting starfish. I have one and he keeps my sand bright white. Love this guy.

as you can see, i have almost all my frags on my sand bed. would a sand sifting starfish knock them over?

 

[premilove]

Starting to get some nice color..

 

[premilove]

Not sure what this is! When I first bought it, it was a dark red color. It basically almost died in H. Sandy, and when i got my display tank running again, it started turning into this. My guess is Red Planet..What do you think?
