FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[Abhishek]

I’m back! Vacation over, birthday over... it’s a New Year! I welcome 2021 gladly with open arms! Anything is better than 2020!

With that, a smattering of pics to start the new year right.

Backup system still rocking. Don’t mind the algae... it’s almost getting there. Once fully mature I’ll see less algae

BC Something 2.0. I’ll have to look up and update as I went blank on the name.

Most probably BC Frankenberry 2.0

Got my back! Yes that is it. I’ll update now. You saved me from flipping the tile over.

Happy New Year Ty and a belated happy birthday. I never made it to 40, I just continue celebrating my 38th birthday over and over.

Question on your frag/growout/backup system flow. I don't see powerheads or gyres in the pics. Are you running a closed loop with sea swirls instead? How deep is that/those tank(s)?

I ask as I have 2 80G deep blues ( 4'X2'X 18" ) running a couple of opposed MP40s running under the racks. Once a week or so I come down to find the racks blown over and frags rolling around stinging each other.

Maybe I should just use big tiles seated on the bottom glass and go with gyres?

Forever young my man! I just run one gyre on the low boy tanks (4’x2’x10”). The depth really just limits me to gyres for flow. I enjoy the tile setup. Nothing moves it... not even pesky urchins.

Happy belated Birthday!

You know, at the time you posted this it was still 2020 in the States. But I was taking up to the 2nd off since I rung in my 40th that day. Older and wiser now... watch out.

Wow! So early in the year to start the excuses!

No big deal, I've got scars older than that.

Something about this shot I love. The spacing of the polyps is just perfection to me.

TGC Acrolandia slowly settling in and starting to color up. It was very light when I first got it.

That looks to be another nice looking “Speciosa?” from BK Chem!
