That looks awsome! Is that giant a pocilopora?

 

[Froggy]

Thanks !! Actually the large green monster on the left is a branching Frogspawn. It is just not fully extended in the pic and a bit withdrawn.

 

[Cody Ray]

That would have been my second guess

 

[15nano]

I bet that frogspawn is awsome fully opened

 

[Wiskey]

Holy frogspawn batman!! That thing is awsome, you have to put a closeup pic of it up when it fully expands.

Great tank!

Thanks,
Whiskey

beautiful!

The SPS and other corals are all beautiful, but that frogspawn really takes the prize.
Out of curiosity, how big was it when you got it?

Looks really sharp, man that one peice is gigantic!

 

[Tony Campos]

Thats a beautiful tank what is that sps frag above your monster?
It looks pink with blue tips.

 

[Froggy]

Thanks everyone !!

Tony Campos, I believe the frag you are referring to is a blue Tenuis that is just starting to color up at the tips. The body is still a cream color and I hope it continues to fully color up in time.

Awesome tank thanks for sharing

 

[curtisvill]

Very nice.

show a pic of your sump.

 

[kbxiong67]

i've got two seios too

 

[Froggy]

dobly, not much to show of the sump. It is a simple sterolite rubbermade container that sits behind the wall that the display is in front of. The sump houses the Euroreef CS 6-1 skimmer, heater, drain line and return line from a Mag 9.5 pump. I do not have a new pic but here is an old one showing the skimmer.

[Froggy]

broe33, I do not have any new pics of the frogspawn fully extended but here are a couple of slightly older ones

and

Here it is when I 1st purchased it a few years back

That is CRAZYYYY GOOD! haha, Like on the pop-tarts comercial... hah..

ok, maybe IM THE ONLY ONE who found humer in that... BUT HOWEVER!

THAT IS AN AWSOME TANK you got there!!!
and BTW: I think you need to be adding more Ca because your frogspawn is just WAYY TO SMALL! haha

good luck !

You could make a killing fragging that monster and selling it to LFS or online..

KEEP IT UP!
