My new 220 gallon

[coffeetwitch]

Oh wow. Nice coral.

 

[coffeetwitch]

I like a lot of the aussie corals and fish. At least when I cruse la those are the ones that really catch my eye.

Just over 13 yrs ago I had a bubble coral like yours. Just wanted to show you what it looks like after 13 and half yrs.

That's friggen awesome looking!

They have the best colors imo

Here's pics. It sucks that you can't see the bright orange. Hammer is still opening up tho.









Now off to the cape to get the tank et al.

 

[coffeetwitch]

They look great!

 

[Jlsardina]

Lol. Thanks. Getting some more coral with this 125 gal that I'm selling. Plus a carpet anenome, a clown, a fox face that I may give to my buddy, about 15 heads of duncans, more mushrooms, and a lot more. This deal keeps getting better and better

Lol. No worries. It's awesome to know that's what mine might look like in 10+ years.

And thanks! It's gonna go thru a big transformation tonight when I add the 200 lbs of live rock and whatever other corals I decide to keep from this guys tank.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Can't wait to see it! How much rock is in there now?

 

[Jlsardina]

Anyone have any insight on carpet anemones? There was one at my LFS and it moved all the time while it was there. I worry about my corals. Should I keep it or sell it to the LFS?

 

[Jlsardina]

There's about 140 lbs in there right now- that I can remember. I had 100+ then bought some more a few times one piece at a time.

 

[coffeetwitch]

I agree. Pictures are a must.

 

[Jlsardina]

I agree. Pictures are a must.

Lol. You just wanna see the spartan army take over the jerk of a king. Jk Jk. Soon. Promise. Have to get all the rock in and re situate all my corals and whatever ones I keep from this guys tank. So far I'm selling an anenome and a fox face to the LFS. And maybe some of the duncans to turn a bigger profit

Sell it,carpet anemones are beautiful,but get huge and will close up on fish in a heartbeat. Except hosting clowns.

I hope you get a better deal than what I got. I bought 200 lbs of LR when I got this tank and paid 8.99 a lb. I had a very flat wallet for a while.

Ok. That's my plan. Thanks for the info

Oh I got a heck of a deal. I got a whole tank with 200 lbs of live rock for 500$. I'm taking the rock, corals, and fish and reselling the tank for 400 on Craigslist at minimum. So in the end I'll be paying 100$ for over 20 heads of duncans, mushrooms, palys, grape coral, clown, fox face (selling it as well), and a carpet anenome (selling). In the end I'm selling a 120 gal acrylic tank, uv, skimmer, power heads, sump, MH lighting, and stand and canopy. I think that's worth 400$. Don't you?

 

[melosu58]

Most definitely.

 

[coffeetwitch]

what kind of skimmer and sump?
