Im just voicing some ideas here and giving a little update..

Nem moved all around the tank yesterday. Couldnt even find him till i checked his old spot and he had gone back. We dont have much sps so i dont have a headache over it.

Also, all new zoas open every day. The torch is doing okay- we moved it and glued it too the rock. I think it just needs more flow to fully extend. Next time im in the tank i'll adjust.

And i was thinking, i want to glue some gsp and both of our new xenias to the back wall. I dont want it to get on the rocks...and plus it'd be easy to scrape off on the wall right? The gsp is already on a rock so i'd cut a sliver off it and glue it. Would it grow?

Also, ive been thinking about future tank projects and upgrades. I hate our skimmer, so i really want to find an upgrade for that. Then i was thinking about a sump. Problem is we already have that chiller down there so that would be a tight squeeze. Could i do a smaller sump..? If i had a sump i could add the better skimmer there, and have an algae scrubber!

We also have those back chambers for somthing beneficial. We cant add cheato because they get no light. What could i put back there? I want to dump some pods in there and start a colony..i literally havent seen one in our tank lol.

Then i was thinkin, maybe a UV sterelizer back there? I have always heard they dont help but who knows! I know there have to be some good ones!

Thanks guys!

Its a red sea prism skimmer. I cant get any skimmate from it so im annoyed

I always heard the prism skimmers were bleh. They had a bad reputation by the first month they came onto the market. Their may be a mod online to get them working better but I wouldn't know. Hopefully somebody has a trick to get them to skim properly.
 
Ok guys....tell me how you like it! Be serious please.

Is the middle sturdy enough and do the corals like it? If both are yes then I love it.

The middle arch you mean? Oh ya that thing is a rock (lol). Corals are all open except shrooms so far!! It is turning out to be a nice garden!!;D
 
I love it! The side with the zoa garden is going to look AMAZING once they spread and fill that space. Love the arch and the dark cave on the other side. Does Jack like it? I hope so. You guys need to post another video.

Get one of these! It's pretty.

And as far as zoas go, You have to get the blue hornets! I will probably faint if you do! Lol!

What's the difference between zoas and paly's?

Wow..ya i really like that! Hopefully it is an easier one.

Ah i no! I love them too. Never see them in any lfs though..but local sellers have them! They are just far.

That is a really good question. I would say that palys eat and generally grow quicker. They also have stalks as opposed to zoas...but i dont even know if those are legit differences. Just my experience!

This coral I've seen in person and it would look awesome in your tank! (And mine! Lol)

Do you have a Duncan? I know it's not sps but they are so pretty! And I was thinking a sun polyp coral would look great under the arch in the middle.

That thing is crazy!! I have never seen or heard of one before! Woah.

Yes but it isnt doing too well. The move of tanks kinda screwed up its initial awesome growth. I want another! And ya we think alot alike aha! A sun coral would look great. Im just not sure we could feed it enough

I see that lepastrea every time I go to petco. It looks so awesome!

I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to feed the sun coral enough either. Otherwise I'd definitely have it on my list.
 
Lol thanks! Not sure how i feel about the scape yet.... I like how things are off the sand bed and we have a good area for more soft corals.. But i miss that old arch. Haha we shall see :p
 
We need a good update video now. I think this qualifies as a big enough change for one ;).
