nUgZ's 40 Breeder

[nUgZ]

Well I moved the rocks away from the glass on the left and rearranged the ones on the right. I didn't end up taking any out, but I like it 100% more than I did before. There's also a ton of swimming room for some Anthias or a small Tang. Here are two FTS's.

Left side & top down

Right side & top down

Moonlight FTS. It looks like a slimmer of light is coming through a cave or something.

This was the Superman Cyphastrea a week and a half ago.

I think it's improving nicely.

Thanks for checking in. Don't worry...I'm not new at this. There won't be any brown corals in my tanks once they color up. I do get rescue pieces, but I've done quite well off some. I lost several thousand dollars worth of coral over the past year. Here's a sample of the kinds of things you will soon see...

I like what you have done with the rock. Flow pretty good all around?

Neat sponge, btw!

Thanks! The circulation is nice and the flow will be good once I get a couple new Koralias. I'm thinking about 2 Koralia 3's...one on each side.

It's cool Rob. It was good advice, just not advice that I need. Picked up some new frags today...nothing brown in the whole bunch!

 

[nUgZ]

I got some new frags yesterday! Here are some pics of a few. More to come later. Remember..these are under an old 10k bulb and look like crap compared to the way they'll look once I get the new bulb.

Kryptonite Calaustrea...this thing is like a flashlight! I'll get a moonlight FTS sometime soon to demonstrate.

Is that a hermit crab?

I'm pretty sure it was just the molt from a hermit, but yeah.

 

[theyammieguy]

Either way, its a great picture.

I got it from a fellow reefer who was tearing down his tanks. I'm not sure exactly what kind it is, but he said wherever he ordered it from basically picks it from the ocean and ships it straight to your house. It's extremely high quality rock.

That's some of the best liverock I've seen in years as I've been out of the hobby for the last 5 and am in the process of getting back in. Sounds like Livestockusa.org is where he got it based on your description. Just not sure what type.

I'll send him a PM and see if he remembers.
