JOM20's 38g Reef Build

[thincat]

Kristen, make sure that the hammer is secure and does not wobble around in the sand. They like a little more light so I would slowly move it up into your LR to about mid position in your tank. Nice Frags, tank is coming along really well. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

Will do, thincat.

I made a little frag rack today, mostly for my Zoa frags. I have my Acan on there as well, since it is small. Think it will be ok on there? I had the frag on the sand and the rack is about midway up the glass, so I figure it will get more light that way.

That would do nicely.

Moved the Hammer back to the rock.

And snapped some pics of some of my corals:

Acan...can't get a good pic of it

Might get some new corals tomorrow. I'm going to the lfs to see what they have.

Keep up the good work. Tank is doing great... as usual. Lol.

Thanks, Aq1!

 

[Aquarium1]

Np. If I can't have a reef for myself rite now I might as well enjoy someone else's lol. Btw are planning to stock with any more fish?

 

[Etunes]

Can i get a FTS picture please? I am curious were you put the frag rack. Good job by the way, i cans see that the Acan is happy, it has its little tentacles out.

 

[JustOneMore20]

I will get one for ya tomorrow, Etunes.

Aq1, I am planning one more fish. I will add a Blue Flasher Wrasse and a Midas Blenny eventually. Gonna wait a month or so to add those. And I might get another goby. Depends on what my lfs has. I will get a Cleaner Shrimp eventually too. I love those.

 

[Aquarium1]

Nice. Also just wanted to tell you you might want to update your My Tanks, it says your 38 is still cycling.

 

[InfernoST]

JOM, tank is looking better and better. Question, how did you secure the frag rack?

 

[JustOneMore20]

Thanks, Aq1. I'll go fix that now.

Keith, I used superglue to glue the eggcrate to an algae magnet I had. Let it dry overnight just in case and then put it in the tank the next day. The piece of eggcrate I used is a little big (its leaning forward a bit), but it works and nothing falls off...haha.

FTS from my P&S:

I'll get a better FTS later with my D80. That atleast shows you the frag rack.

I wanted it on the side so it wouldn't get in the way of my view. But I can still take pics of almost everything on it from the side of the tank.

I went to the lfs but didn't buy anything for this tank. They got new stuff in and were acclimating it while I was there. They didn't really have much to choose from that wasn't acclimating, so I'll have to go back another day. I've found alot that I like online, so I may end up ordering some frags soon.

Jeeze JOM, i told you your tank would look awesome.. and it DOES!

 

[JustOneMore20]

Thanks!

How do you like that green hair algae? Atleast it gives the rocks more color.

 

[InfernoST]

Thanks Kristen, I think I'm going to do the same.

 

[thincat]

In the second shot it looks like you have a green star poylp growing with your Zoa.

 

[thincat]

Kristen, if you would superglue a piece of eggcrate at a 90 degree angel to your present eggcrate your frag stand would not lean over.
