Tony's 80g rimless cube

How on EARTH did you get stuck out here lol?

I got an amazing job that just so happened to be out here.

That's a nice plant tank! Funny that. I started keeping salt tanks to give me something easy and relaxing that I could enjoy without all the work my plant tanks took/take.

Here's one of my older tanks, circa 2009, I think. It wasn't in the best shape at the time, but my camera died after taking it so it's the last pic I've got of it.

Haha well that explains it. Maybe I thought it was too easy because it was only a 5 gallon tank :-p. Yours was awesome!
 
Thanks guys! I see a lot of people on this thread with tanks nicer than mine though :-). Phil, I can bear it no longer! Repeat after me: Acropora (ah-CROP-or-ah)

I got a frag of orange crush from AV99 a few months ago. Can't wait to see mine grow out. How long did it take to go from frag to mini colony like this^^^^

Tank looks great! With all the colors going on in there that thing will be a stunner when it grows out and fills in.
 
Great looking tank. How long has it been set up?
Thank you :-). The rock and tank will be 4 in December, however virtually all of the corals were added as frags in January of 2012

Could you please tell us your lighting schedule? Thanks
Sure, t5 actinis come on around 11am and off around 10 pm, halide comes on around 1230pm and goes off around 730 pm.

Aw CRAW poor uhhhh. ;)

Thanks very much! The orange crush is a slow grower for me. It took a good year for my frag to grow into a 3" tall mini colony. Tim seems to get it to grow fast but as of yet I can only replicate the color he gets. I can tell you that more light + more flow = more orange tips.
 
Thanks :-). Phil, I used to have an Archer that was trained to shoot pellets off the rim of the tank :-P.
So yeah, this thing is really turning into a looker! Don't see too many red-polyp acros.

Aw thanks guys. I'll take some more pics tomorrow.
June-July were not good months for the tank. I had to go to my mother's to help her get around while she was recovering from surgery so the tank received no care other than occasional feeding by family members for nearly 3 weeks. Normally this would be okay, but while I was gone my 5" French Polynesian maxima clam fell off his eggcrate perch in my frag tank and into some rics and died/rotted. That made a nutrient spike that caused a bit of a dinoflagellate outbreak. On top of that, I came home to a leaky sump and had to replace it, and in the process of getting everything out, clumsily dropped my calcium reactor and broke it. By the time I got everything back to normal I had some pretty ticked-off acros & lost my red dragon colony. Oh well. The tank does not look bad, it's just not up to its usual standards. it'll be another month or two before the colors are back in the butter zone. Anyway, here's a quick smart phone pic to tide you over.
