FarmerTy's 215-gallon SPS Tank

[erk]

2) Added a Avast Marine Spyglass reactor XL and run both ROX carbon and GFO in it together. It's nice being able to ditch two terrible reactors for one good one that can run both media. For those curious, ideally you don't want carbon to tumble due to it releasing dust but if you use ROX carbon which is super hard and mix if with GFO in a true fluidized reactor like the Spyglass, it's perfect and I haven't had any issues with dust so far. Highly recommend it. Its easy to swap media too... Just pull the top portion off, leave the pump running, dump the old media out, rinse, add new media, put back on reactor body, put on rinse cap, rinse GFO into a bucket, and swap back to the normal cap and you're done. No lid to unscrew or thumbscrews either... No tubing to mess with too!

You got a video of the spyglass reactor in action and how you fill/refill. Sounds really nice. I just pulled my old Vertex zeolite reactor and been wondering what I want or if I want to replace it with something.

I haven't shot a video of it but if you jump on their website, they have a couple of videos showing its usage.

You know I’m too busy installing a new bathroom to constantly keep up with the never ending banter on your thread!

I love my solar flair. How long you had yours Ty?

I goofed! I think that one is my RMF Acid Trip even though I named the file JFmille.

But you answer your question, just got that guy a month or so ago. I did also add the JF Solar flare last month as well. I want to take a frag of each and put them all side by side to compare one day.

We just had our local frag show. I spent the day beating on Jason until the end and scored a nice big chunk of Hateraid. I am so looking forward to seeing thos one grow out.

I think a local has a piece too! Looks like it has some good potential!

Ya I'm excited. I will take a pic in a week or so when its settled where i want it in the tank. Mine is half yellow and half bright purple.

Coops 24k looking all of 24k these days.

RRC Elektra nub - FWIW, seller was trying to get me 3/4" but that's all he was able to cut.

TGC Cherry bomb... It seems to be a fast grower.

The one and only, Hungs Rainbow

TGC OG Orange Passion ... Again, thought there was 3/4" but it ended up 1/2". Seller adjusted pricing to match so I didn't get ripped off or anything. It's super healthy!

RR the Vinh... Tried an up close shot but can't get everything in focus with the macro. Just wanted to highlight the ridiculous contrast.

TGC Shazam

Unknown hairy... Sold as an ORA Pearlberry but thinking it might be the Chips instead.

Av99 Envy something... I forgot.

My chips is still alive ty and looking good everyday

I am both shocked and amazed! That thing is the worst shipper in the world! Its weird but I'll just start shipping fresh cuts of it since my healed cuts hardly ever survive shipping.

 

[tripdad]

Really liking that last one, AV99 Envy, it's a beauty!
