120 Gallon Salty Condo

[Genesis Corals]

Got to love accidental fragging, I do it all the time. Tank is looking good.

Thanks Genesis. This is my first reef so I'm learning as I go. Learned this round that moving corals isn't as easy as it sounds especially if you glued them down really good. Haha

Looking sweet Ryan, that foxface is getting huge man. Can't wait to see it in person again over the weekend.

 

[schooleyosis]

Thanks B. Yeah, the Foxface is beginning to worry me a bit that I might have to sell it because its about to outgrow the tank. It's one of my favorites, and I hate to get rid of it, but I also don't want it to be unhappy.

 

[bknapp]

I don't imagine he would get too much bigger, could of course be very wrong.

 

[schooleyosis]

According to LA the one spotted (which I have) needs a 70 or larger tank. Maybe I'll be ok??? We could always fillet him! Lol. Not.

 

[bknapp]

Your one spot would be too big for a 70, looks good in your 120 though.

 

[Mrfresh]

Beautiful build.

That monti has grown a lot since the last time I saw it (which I think was when we did the meeting at your house.)

I love this tank. Foxface are awesome fish.

I agree about the 70. I watched it flick it's tail once and it shot off like a rocket and almost smashed into the other side of the tank. I'd love to see it in a 6 or 8 foot tank and see how fast it really is.

Beautiful build.

Thank you!

The red one is growing really, really well. That is the ONLY coral in my tank that has never been moved. It's finally starting to ledge itself, one piece over the other which is what I have been waiting for. Once it grows out towards that green leather a little more I'll have to start fragging it so it doesn't shade it. That's when you'll get a piece of it if you are still interested. I hope the purple one next to it keeps growing as well so that eventually I'll have them covering that whole rock. I have a vision in my head, hope the corals agree and follow the plan. LOL

I love this tank. Foxface are awesome fish.

Thank you. Foxy is my favorite of all the fish. It's a must have in every one of my tanks!

Just read through your thread, tank looks awesome! If you had to choose a favorite trio, would you go dartfish or anthias??

 

[bknapp]

How are the newest additions liking their new digs?

Hmmm, I like both of the trios a lot. The anthias add more color but are far more finicky and hide a bit more. I like them equally as they both add a different flare to the tank. For ease and beginners and price, I'd go the dartfish. I worry far more about my anthias than I do the dartfish.

Things seem to be doing really well. The male anthias is so small that he worries me but I see him eating a most feedings so I'm trying not to worry too much.

Thanks for asking fellas. Sorry it took so long to reply.

New Additions

Stopped by Emerald Bay on the way back home yesterday and picked up a coco worm and a brown feather duster. They seem to be doing quite well so far.

FTS before adding the dusters.

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Very nice!

 

[bknapp]

Figured it wouldn't be too long before you got yourself a duster. Looks good bro.

 

[schooleyosis]

Thanks Rev and Brandon!

B I think I was talkin to you about the coco worm when we had the meeting at the AC. Lets see how these two do. If they do well I'll looking for a purple one next.

 

[bknapp]

Yup, it was me!

 

[schooleyosis]

Both dusters looked really well today.

Trying to come up with a way to drip/dose cyclopseeze or Rotifers during the day for the Anthias to get an extra feeding in. Might do something with a solenoid hooked to a plastic bottle controlled by the Apex. Full the bottle each mornin with a little food and water and at a set time each day open the solenoid to let the liquid flow out into the tank.

I don't think the Anthias are getting to the pellets from the automatic feeder...
