Oldude's Little Reef on the Prairie

If that's the same piece I got from you then it's a slow grower in my system as well. Al the other ones, including the green dragon are showing improvement while that one is barely making it off the frag plug still :)

My SPS grows well, but I get far better polyp extension in the frag tank than in the display (they are connected) so I've largely concluded that something in the latter is a nipper. Probably the Potters or Flame angels, though a couple of my Tangs may be involved too. It's trade-offs, I suppose, but some of your corals are spectacular - well photographed too!

Thanks, the suspects you mentioned are quite likely the cause. I no longer keep a foxface or regal tang for that reason. Fish are generally hit & miss but in my experience after these two I mentioned reach maturity every one I've ever had has turned into a serious coral or clam nipper.

Yes it's very slow but worth the wait. :spin1:
 
I don't see my hippo nipping, at least not yet; though it is a major clutz, always snapping branches off my green slimmer and red dragon SPS.

Yeah fish can be "frag" machines once they get to be a decent size. Regarding the nipping, fishing are hit & miss.

Thank you. Those algae stages of the tank cycle can never go away fast enough can they?
 
Congrats on winning TOTM!!!

I knew it wouldn't be long Greg! Your tank is absolutely amazing! My favorite tank on RC. Obviously I guess, since we are copying your dimensions LOL!!! Really enjoyed reading the article and looking at all those "drool worthy" coral photos. Keep it up Dude!

Thanks very much, & thanks for taking the time to read my write up.
 
Mind blowing pictures Greg :)

Setting up our frag tank, can't wait to have a bunch of nice coral to add to our display :)
 
It's been a tough past few weeks on the fish in my tank. Not sure what is going on but I know a few died of old age.
I've lost:
3 chromis
1 blue Atlantic chromis
Mystery Wrasse
dragon pipe
2 pencil wrasses
3 anthias
To top it off my purple tang is pretty beat up but I think it's being fighting with the yellow tang.
