Erick's Frag Tank

[Loki]

They are looking good! The skirt looks sharp (pointy)

I noticed that. I had just moved everything around a bit. They don't usually look like that. I've got them under more light now. I read somewhere the pink will come out more that way.

I hope that one day my display can look as nice as your frag tank.. Your zoas look awesome! How has your growth been with just water changes thus far?

 

[weaponsofmassdesign]

Thanks! As far as the zoas go I've gotten a ton of growth. I've got new nubs every week on all of them and then the next week those are baby polyps. I have a war coral that's growing fairly quickly, a prism that has no new polyps but the two are getting bigger and bigger, acan lords have popped out a ton of baby polyps, acan echinatas are starting to do better and all my SPS are almost based out and starting to grow up more. I'm really happy with it so far.

That's great that your having that much growth on everything! I may just bring stuff to you to grow it out for me

how much was the whole set up for the frag tank you think?

I got the 29g tank, a Coralife 65 skimmer and a Mag Drive 9.5 on Craigslist for $100. I have two Aquaclear 50 HOB filters at about $33 each, two Ecoxotic Par38 LED bulbs at $110 each with two lamp fixtures at $35 each, two Koralia Nano 425's at $28 each and a $20 frag rack for my SPS and 40 lbs of Natures Ocean black sand for $25 each. I already had the rock. So around $600 or so without the coral.

And here's a growth comparison of my Green Birdsnest:

Sometime end of January on far left.

You can also see the Mille growth. It's just in front right of the birdsnest in the first pic and left of it in the second.

Very nice stuff! I have some room in my tank if you need to get more stuff

Thanks! I still need to move a few things around, so I might have about a 4" square of room! I'll have to get a new FTS.

 

[Loki]

Yeah you do. So your frag tank and the 10 are both full?

 

[dmatt88]

Gorgeous stuff dude!

........what, me worry?

The frag tank pretty much is. The 10g has lots of room. I'm mainly just keeping my acans in it being lighted with T5's. The LED's changed their colors, so I decided to move them over a couple weeks ago and their already back. The bowers will be moved over this week.

Gorgeous stuff dude!

........what, me worry?

Thanks!

Great looking corals and great growth on the green birdsnest. Looking foward to seeing the new FTS when you are able to get it up.
