OOO Chad your tank is so awesome....btw is that a purple hippo tang

 

[MarlinDreams]

Keep posting, it really inspires me to keep moving on my set up. What size is it?

 

[chaderic26]

You know it... Mattp82. lol. No purple hippo, my camera skills just suck.


Its a 220 Marlin. I'll try to get some more pics up tomorrow. I don't have the tank in my house so there's no crazy fish room or anything. Tried to keep it somewhat simple since I have to maintain it at work.

Thanks Glenn, Once it grows in I will be much happier.

You should stop messing around and set up one for yourself.

are these AOG out of the frag tank? if so can I get some. I provided the first batch to the frag program and I have lost my colony.

I bought them from hi def but I can definetly cut you a frag when the grow out a little bit more.

This tank makes my tank look like a small goldfish bowl....lol. It looks really great.

Thanks sir. Ive been having some bad luck with my calcium reactor effluent getting clogged lately. I got a pinch valve that is supposed to help, so hopefully it fixes the problem.

Some frags I picked up the other day. The fruit loops are my favorite.

Looks like the fruit loops are filling up that frag plug nicely. And madkat I picked up some armor of god from paul the other day once it grows out we can see about getting you a frag of it.

 

[Jedidad]

where did you get the nice zoa frags. the tank is looking really nice. should be awesome when it all grows in.

 

[johnsonj]

How long did it take for it to look like that?

@matt, They seem to be doing better on the sand bed than they were doing in the rock work, I always have a hard time getting them to jump off a frag plug on to the rock work. What I think I'm going to do from now on is wait till they grow on to all crushed coral and then plant them around. It's easier that way.

@Jedi, I got those from Paul(HighDef) the other day. I've been wanting some of the Yellow Jackets for a while. I just need to get some Darth Maul's now and I should be good on the zoa's I want in the tank.

@Johnson, My tank has been up for I think almost a year. I've been making an effort to get some decent size pieces to start with so the tank wouldn't look so baron at first. Also less demanding species to keep my maintenance down.
