16G BowFront --> 29G Reef Tank Build

[CorallineAlgae]

Yep. Awesome! I think I'll have to get that light when I setup my next reef.

Hey, does your neighbor have an old air pump he was selling? I know he had other equipment up for sale. If you used one that Skilter would be way silent.

I can't WAIT to see that tank with some corals!!!

 

[Bearchumjs]

I'm so excited for you! The tank looks amazing. The lights are gorgeous! It's going to be nice seeing coral in there!

Here it is! from top left going clockwise we have 1 Green/Purple Tip Frogsprawn (5 heads) for $20!! then we have the Green Hammer ($10) then its Radioactive Dragoneyes(zaos) $10 and last is a tiny Red Mushroom on a shell given to me for free. So i spent $40... how did i do??

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

[DanS180]

awesome, he had an even bigger frogspawn of about 10 heads for $60 but i wasnt tryna spend all my money on one type of coral lol

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Haha score, i hope it starts to split for ya. I found a 2 head frog for like 15 or something and right when i brought it home it split.... Now its 4 heads

The baby heads are cool, sadly it takes forever for them to grow!

aww thats cool haha, yeah thats what the guy was saying, he said baby ones take forever to grow lol but oh well, im not in any rush.. the Radioactive Dragoneye that i got apparently spreads VERY fast so thatll be cool

 

[DanS180]

okay so i was gonna take a FTS but these guys are so small right now, itd be hard to tell haha.. the zaos havent opened up yet but they look so awesome when they are open, frogspawn is looking really good right now, and the green hammer is a lil guy, hopefully he grows decently, tell me what u think!!!

 

[DanS180]

My wife just gives me looks. Almost had a little melt down today. My project to hang a piece of purple star polyp that I got on my back wall of the tank to let it spread wasn't working. After more than and hour of different thing I almost broke down all my live rock and restructured. Lol. Sorry rant over. Glad to see yours coming along.

 

[Bearchumjs]

Looks good!!! I'd love to see the zoas now that they are opened.
