The 120 Reset

Thank you everyone for the compliments!
Solrny I'm using 4 65w 450nm pc's and 2 250w 14k icecap metal halides but it does seem a little white, some of it my camera and my lack of skills.
Zooman, I thought of blacking out the back but time was limited and it didn't make the cut. Maybe next time.

Looks like my urchin is done for. He's laying flat on the substrate with his spines all laying over.

yeah, he's probably done for. Loosing spines is definitely not a good sign.

Looks great! I've gotta echo on the 'scape being sweet. Good job. :beer:

 

[reefboarder]

Urchin done!
Mel it's funny about the echo comment that's my dogs name. Don't remember if I had named him yet when the pets of urs thread was alive, he was still just a bitty pup then. He's about 85 pounds now!

Just a quick update. Lost my Florida spiny urchin, and a small frag of blue with orange polyped digitata from tmz. Everything else is doing good most of my sps has shown growth since the move and my Xenia,zoa's, and palys have also shown growth.
Found a pest crab and moved him to the sump with his big brother. I believe they are both rock claw (slang) crabs not sure of their scientific names but one claw is significantly bulkier than the other and they have a small amount of hair on the legs. I can't upload pics from my phone to attach pics so I'll put some up later.

How often do you feed your corals silversides?

 

[reefboarder]

That was the first time but I usually feed my corals once or twice a week some smaller meaty chunks while feeding the fish.

Ill second that.Nice stuff and the pics are decent for an iphone.

Any chance you can get a pic of the blue /orange polyp digitata?

The color is enhanced by my lights a bit so its not as blue as the pic looks. This coral has been thru a lot, it fell into my aquascape and was shaded heavily for a few months, I had written it off after looking for it time and time again. I was moving some things around one day had a mini slide and voila there it was so i have been slowly giving it more light, trying to nurse it back. so far so good. this came from TMZ at a swap last year at arc.

 

[Gravesj1s]

Yeah,Im not positive but I think thats been dubbed forestfire or superman digitata.Im terrible with id'ing so its really a guess.Ive seen some pics on line of it that were just gorgeous.Hope to come across a frag of that someday.
Looks to be holding its own and iM sure you'll get to take off.Nice work turning your tank around.Good luck with everything.

tank looks awesome, and I'm loving the new pictures, especially the close ups of the blenny. Congrats, you have a beautiful tank, and some beautiful, healthy inhabitants! :dance:

 

[Henry Colf]

Tank looks great!!!!Always nice finding a piece of coral that you lost and finding it alive!!!

 

[moonlightdriver]

Glad to see it back up and running... how long did the process take total?

 

[reefboarder]

probably a week or so, I moved everything into the 150g rubbermaid over the course of two days, cleaned out the tank, sump, equipment, etc... over the next day or two after that and started clearing outt where it was going to be and how I wanted it.
Started mocking up my new plumbing ideas and making 100+ gallons of new salt water at new home, then after all that on a saturday Nirvanafan and I met at my old house around 8am started putting live rock into coolers we transfered water and rock on one trip then we went back and started bagging each coral and putting them into coolers then added what was left of water to buckets and caught the fish and put them in the buckets then I worked basically thru the night putting everything in the tank and joe ended up in the hospital from a small scratch
