300 gallon "Outside Corner" Reef

Cleaned the reef today and shot some updated photos. The tabling acro is tabling. Easy SPS to grow but I love it.

Love the corals and tangs, have you ever thought of a convict tang?

Jealous of the size of it all, as usual. My red and green planet acros are supposed to table, but the red died and jury is still out on how I feel about the green.

 

[Gregcoyote]

I may have one sometime in the future. I have a stable population right now and don't like fiddling with it unless i am replacing a fish or adding something small. Another tang is a big risk at this point. Triggerfish was last addition and he stirred things up bad enough. And he's a good fish.

Thanks, but it's getting pretty cramped as coral has nowhere else to go. I dream of my 1000 gallon. I love growing this stuff into the stuff I saw on dives, big groups if Acros and swarms of polyps.

 

[Sniperhank]

Yeah, i have my red monti and birds nest frag attaching themselves to the back glass. I can only imagine...

That's a valida up top, isn't it? Either way, I'd like you to put together a frag pack when you get a chance. (Yes, I still have a coral system)

 

[Keithhjs]

Impressive as usual! Thanks for sharing.

I have another grove of that growing from my old frag rack where I started it. It ran its foot all over a egg crate. I will break it up soon and when the weather is better I'll send you a piece.

Greg,...I'm going to have to stop looking at your tank pictures.., it's depressing me when I look at my tank :-/ ,on the other hand, it's refreshing knowing that such a secure and beautiful system is possible with enough time,knowledge and effort.... I feel like a sixty year old kindergarten kid.

I have my issues occasionally. It doesn't run perfectly all the time.

 

[Sniperhank]

If only they did! I'd say I had a list of issues...but in reality I call it a build thread anymore LOL.

Love the mushroom, how big is the office tank? Looks great

It's about 38 gallons, integrated with skimmer and the works. I forgot what brand, my son set it up.

Tank took 30 days with dead rock to stabilize. One of the quicker cycles I have experienced.

Wow...5" is a big mushroom!

For some reason, mushrooms and zoas are catching my eye lately. I'm almost considering getting better lighting for at least part of my 240 and throwing some in there.

This mushroom is growing in PAR 20 light! That's why he got so crazy big, he's almost in the dark.

Tangs are classified as herbivores. But I would suggest they , at least in captivity, are omnivores.

My tangs go nuts over the homemade clam and seafood mix I make.
