Teebone's Epic 210G SPS Build

... maybe

And yes, a fine specimen that has adapted well to captive life in my system. Currently eating anything I put into the tank, including pellet, PE mysis, and flake. All top quality livestock and service at CRS

How is your gold flake doing?

Mine's doing very well, eating like a champ. He's still in QT but I'm hoping to transfer him soon. I've got a flame and a potters so I'm waiting on another fish that's also in QT so I can introduce both at the same time to reduce or rather spread the aggression.

How about a little Rhomboid action

Wonderful pics of your rhomboid!

I know I should be posting more pics of my sticks, but please say hello, to my little friend

Finally got lucky with a very rare, juvenile sargassum trigger. I've been waiting extremely long to get one of these guys.

He's about 2 inches long and has been eating like a champ. He was very shy as it look about 2 weeks for him to come out of hiding to show is awesome personality. Still has not developed the red tail that are unique to sargassum triggers. It will be fun to watch this guy grow!

Here are a few pics...

Special thanks to Red at The Coral Reef Shop for locating this guy for me and holding him until I could pick him up.

Wow! 2 inches. My absolute favorite trigger.
Never seen one so small.
I'll be as interested in seeing this guy grow out as I am to see your acros.

Beautiful tank! How has the angel been treating your acros?

[WLachnit]

Looks great and good colors!

Wow! Awesome growth and colours.
A tiny bit of a change..

 

[hatfielj]

Very impressive! I am a big fan of large colonies. So many people now a days don't let their acros grow out because they frag them so much. Keep it up!

Seriously PO4<1ppm ? Isn't that a mistake and shouldn't be PO4<0.01ppm ?
Awesome tank!

Yes- sorry for the confusion, that was a typo.
It should read <. 0.10ppm

Great update, really cool to see all that growth over time.

Thanks- It is really cool to see things grow. You don't really realize it until you look back at old pics.

Things are starting to really take off now, and I'm needing to reposition colonies all the time- lol
Guess its a good problem to have!

 

[teebone110]

Time for a few updates...

First I wanted to post a pic of my sargassum trigger.
Had this little guy as a juvenile since June, he's easily doubled in size and has started to get some red colouring in the tip of his tail.I think he likes it around here

Here is a recent picture December 2017

and when I first got him...
