Start of another reef tank - 55g

[scottayy]

Everything is looking good man!

For future reference on mushrooms they tend to like the lower light. If they shrivel up try to get them into some shade. If they're standing up they want more light. Usually they aren't picky though and will adjust wherever you put them!

So I'm picking up a good size frag of waving hand and another piece of frogspawn, 2 heads for $45 tomorrow. I've heard that waving hand can spread fast. Any tips? I really like the motion of this coral and figure under medium flow should do fine with little spreading.

 

[Duddits]

Pick these up today

All of them or $80.

Pretty sure they're joker zoas and red zoas. Along with a double headed frogspawn and a small football size waving hand w/rock. Already split it into two softball size pieces.

Ok did a little research and I don't think those are joker zoas. I think they are green bay packers. What do you all think?

anything the waving hand touches it will move a piece to. They spread very fast.

Corals are in

Those look awesome! Beautiful additions to your tank!

Ugh! So all has been good in my tank until I came home today. Noticed my sand had a brown tint to it and my rock as well. Why? I haven't really done anything drastic. One new fish and a few corals. Lights run the same except I changed one bulb out.

IMO the waving hand doesn't move too fast. Not if you keep up with your tank. I haven't had to remove any yet.

 

[Duddits]

I'm always messing with my tank. Drives my wife crazy how much time I spend on it each day lol

 

[Duddits]

Corals are looking fantastic!

Frogspawn, zoas and my newest frag green star polyps

Looks nice man. Is that bright green coraline growth? I've never seen it before, only read about it.

Sure is. It's growing on my rock and my back wall. Looks really good. Coraline is spreading nicely through out the tank. Picking up some armor of gods, everlasting gobstoppers and some lunar eclipse zoas today or tomorrow. Hoping to also score a 3 head hammer coral too for trade

 

[Duddits]

New addition. Wife and mother-in-law decided to surprise me with a clownfish.

 

[Sniperhank]

Gratz! Nice lookin 6 line too. I miss having one.

 

[Duddits]

They've always been my favorite wrasse. Good food brings out the color in them. Best looking one I've had yet except he likes to harass and eat my blue leg hermits.

 

[Duddits]

Just picked up some frags. Everlasting gobstoppers, armor of god and ocean and sky zoas. Dripping now. Will post pics later.

 

[Duddits]

New frags. Hoping to pick up the hammer and some trumpet coral today on a trade.

The 2nd pic is my gsp frag that is now starting to open up.
