Pictures of 29 gallon

[wawruck]

SO here are some pictures of our 29 gallon. I figured that since almost all the corals in it are from people here I would let you see it before the May meeting

looking good. i really like the aquascaping. got any fish? or is it like my tank that has none because i spend to much on corals to beable to aford fish :lol: ...

this one has no fish right now, I am thinking of moving my clarkii's over to it though. Can anyone tell me if they started hosting in my frogspawn would it damage it?

I had some occelaris host a frogspawn forever and it didn't hurt it. Clarkiis are a lot bigger in the long run though and they may be roupher on the host. Good thing is clowns are easy to catch out if you try them. You better keep that anthilia far away from the main rockscape. I had a terriable time erradicating it from both my 5 and 270 once it got going it was very aggressive. Grew right over my zoas like they were not even there in the 5. Looks great BTW! I love the open aquascapping with the rockwork.

Just curious did you get that tank from the frag swap in Nashville?

 

[wawruck]

yup, sure did.

Also to update, the frogs and torch are gone. They got a brown jelly on them, and within a day (noticed in the morning and by dinner) were dead and gone. Hoping it doesn't spread to anything else in the tank, and one else had this happen?

Thought I recognized that tank, I am the person you bought it from, it looks good. Your husband have any luck drilling the other tank?

 

[foggy54]

Coming along nicely.........

 

[wawruck]

lol, he hasn't even had the time to try. I am sure when he gets back from this deployment next year he will try though.

Hurley, haven't had a chance to drill anything lately. We did end up using the good 20gal tank we got off you for the sump under the 29, and the two other sumps are sitting in the garage getting ready to get cleaned up and turned into a quarantine tank setup. I think right now that this tank is looking much better than the two aquapods. Of course, the aquapods don't have sumps or refugiums just yet, so the 29 does have a little extra to help it.

Also, since Liz hasn't said what is in the tank lately, there is now a pretty small yellow tang and 4 green chromis. The tang is my helper in motivating her to allow us to get a bigger tank after I get back from deployment. There were 5 chromis, but the galaxy made quick work of one of them; and between the galaxy, a nassarius snail, and a few redlegs, the dead chromis didn't have a chance.

The anthelia is great, I keep it in check by constantly fragging it as it gets bigger. I keep the main colony sitting amongst a pile of rubble so it grows out and just waits for me to cut it. When we first got it, it was in our first 24 gallon aquapod and I had to frag it constantly, but now that tank has a decent sized colony that I am working to keep in check by fragging. It has been fragged so many times that it has become pretty hardy. Even after I thought I killed it, it looked dead for a week then came back to life and the colony doubled in size in a week.

just to let known, I will probably get a bigger tank while John is deployed. For many reasons: one being the yellow tang needs a bigger home. Two is that I really want a bigger tank, and 3 is because with him deployed is the only way that I will get to do any aquascaping.

That looks great! It makes me want to redo my scape today!
