Nice pics. The tank looks great!

 

[TitansFan]

thank you!

but you missed the best one:

 

[CKreef]

Have to agree! I have a three year old son going on four want to trade the 65g for my little boy? LOL

Looks great! Everything has filled in so nice!! That green Nepthilia is a monster!!

Does the new baby like looking at the tank? Hannah loved looking up at the tank from her bouncy seat about his age.

 

[TitansFan]

lol no!!!!! I know what mine can do! I won't spare you guys with the pics the wife sent to me at work while crying today. Lets just say he was playing in the bathtub and did not make it to the toilet in time... and "its not playdoh son" He is a great finger painter though....

he is 2 years and 5 months old

My son always screamed like he was being attacked by a monster when he did that in the tub!! He was scared to death. LOL You got to love having kids!!

 

[CKreef]

what kind of zoas are those in the third and fifth pics?

 

[TitansFan]

Thanks Angela! I too think it is filling in well. So, well I am still collecting things for the upcoming 225 gallon to replace it. It will be shame to break it down but moving it into something bigger will be fun.

Grant, the older one, loved sitting in front of the tank when he was young. He would sit and stare for hours. Cooper the new baby is entertained for abit, but he stills preferred to be held. I think he is just more of a social baby and not as independent as Grant. I hear though that is how it goes with second borns.

The third are fire and ice so i believe. They started as a small frag along time ago.

The fifth are the infamous evil mel's from the east tn club. I got them as an 8 polyp frag at the MTRC swap 2 years ago. I don't think anything short of a nuclear bomb could stop them from growing.

Great job TitansFan! Can you post a full tank shot please?

What are the dimensions of your tank, I'm setting up a 65g myself and it's 36x18x24.

Also, what kind of lighting is that? Your corals seem to love it! It looks like there is some shimmer in pictures, I'd have to guess MH.

 

[CKreef]

If you ever frag the fire and ice let me know or if you want to get rid of any shrooms or sps frags lmk

 

[TitansFan]

Thank you matgilbert!!

My tank is the same dimensions as yours. I think it is perfect as far as sizes go for a 3 foot long tank. For lighting I use 2 175watt icecap ballasts running 2 Iwaski 14K bulbs. I love these bulbs!! I also use an icecap 440 with 2 36" URI super actinic.

CKreef: I plan to frag some things when I move over to my larger tank so I will let you know. I do have some of the purple digi already fragged and mounted. It is the German digi from Gary I got awhile back.

Hey streetracinsrt I got it from Emerald Bay. I have had it almost a year and it does great.

Thank you Norman!

 

[crumbletop]

Lookin good :thumbsup:

 

[geewizzitsme]

great tank and pics!!! Suggestion though! The green monti-cap looks like it isn't really getting too much light.

 

[TitansFan]

yah it doesnt get much light.... It started out as big as a fingernail. I never expected it to grow at all there. I had a small piece and stuck it there. Time for a bigger tank to make more room.
