Last pic of the first wave* lol

Frogspawn coral I think.

the one with the clowns is a toadstool, a very large one at that lol. I love that piece, it pulls the whole tank together

Very nice!!!!

That 4th pic is a hammer coral. One of my forst corals too. It's gotten so big ! It looks awesome under the blue lighting.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It makes my night.

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Awsome!

Carey what's the coral in the second pic?

 

[carey]

I believe that to be a birdsnest SPS. I really like how that picture came out lol. It started with just like 3 branches and has really grown alot over the last few months.

It might be a stylophora, still not 100% sure. It's sps either way though

 

[coffeetwitch]

can i put a birdsnest in my 40 breeder?

 

[carey]

As long as you have a decent light fixture. gotta keep your water pretty clean too.

 

[coffeetwitch]

and i ment to ask if have you had to clean your overflow yet?

 

[coffeetwitch]

i also like the monti's? but they look like they get too huge.

 

[redsea]

Awesome pictures, the tank looks great! Also, congrats on your decisions of future tanks! I can't wait to see their builds!

 

[carey]

My monti is growing like a weed, you can actually see it grow day by day it seems. I havent had to take down the overflow, i have replaced the two sponge prefilters in it though, the originals were getting nasty.

 

[coffeetwitch]

where did you get the replacement sponges? think one would out grow my tank? and when you get the new tanks, can you link to them so i can follow along.

 

[carey]

I got a long sponge from my lfs and cut it in half. They also sell the replacement sponges at marinedepot.com. I think if placed well a monti would look pretty good in your tank. It's supposed to encrust and layer as it grows so it could be spectacular in a year or two.

You betcha, I'll be on new build threads so fast...like always!

[coffeetwitch]

True... But watching the walking dead and posting on threads is hard to do.
