I hope those Rastas pull through. It would be a huge bummer to loose them.

Yep, got my fingers crossed.

bribo12 · 06-02-2014, 07:42 PM

Yeah me too, that would suck. They look great otherwise though!

NanoNewb · 06-02-2014, 09:41 PM

Where did you order them from? Looks great! I'm gonna get a big order of zoas and a hammer in a couple weeks but never ordered online.

Can't wait to see the possum wrasse. Favorite fish in my tank!!! Awesome personality!

dingusplease · 06-02-2014, 11:11 PM

Maybe I just wasn't looking closely enough at this thread but those are some really nice acans! Kind of hard to be sure of colors in photos, do they really have green, red, purple and blue?
And good luck with the Rastas, fingers crossed!

I'm getting the wrasse and pom pom from live aquaria. If your looking for coral, divers den (same company as liveaquaria and you'll see links on that page) and pacific east aquaculture (posted a whole bunch of wysiwyg stuff today).

The 2 big heads are pretty much just red and blue, but all 3 babies are rainbow, pretty stoked about that.

Usually with acans the more shade the more rainbow you'll see on them.

BigRedsReefs10 · 06-03-2014, 12:00 AM

Oh and I forgot the new FTS

Really looking good, that froggie is a showpiece! My favorite part is that there is such a wide range in sizes of corals, from small frags to large colonies. And of course everything will grow together over time. It's really full looking for having been set up in February

BigRedsReefs10 · 06-03-2014, 01:13 AM

Yeah the frogies getting big, and it will be staying but I think I'm going to give the hammer in front of it away to a buddy. I want a little more sand bed space, and it doesn't play nice with non euphies. Want to get a few more acans in the sand bed. And I set this up back in October/November, it's a little over 8 months old.

dingusplease · 06-03-2014, 01:18 AM

Gotcha. Sorry about the mixup with the tank age, I wasn't on AA when you were setting it up
, just assumed the thread start was the tank start. Haha maybe you just documented it in such good chronological order I was confused... it made too much sense haha.

bribo12 · 06-03-2014, 01:24 AM

Just give the zoa garden a couple of months an it will be looking really nice

Yeah I started this thread way late, never really documented a build before. It's definitely easier though when you've got a few months worth of pics from the start though

Yeah I think the left sides done, and time to let them grow out. I'd like to get some sunny d's and fruit loops for the right (and og Rastas if these don't make it) and then let them grow out. And a few more acans for the sand bed. Back to the Rastas though, was going to dip them last night, but was out of coral rx, what do you dip your z's in bribo?
