Paul's 90 Gallon Build

[pdt7361]

I went out and bought 5 new fish today....1 tomini tang, 1 small blue hippo tang, 1 coris wrasse, and 2 leopard wrasses. I've got the tangs in QT and decided to add the wrasses directly to the DT since they had previously been medicated and have been healthy for a couple of months at the lfs.

Nice set up! Those are some beautiful wrasses. Did you decide to keep the T5s?

 

[pdt7361]

Yeah. I've got the 4 bulb T5 and will be adding a 48" LED bar next week. I was initially planning on doing the Reef Brite XHO blue strip but am thinking about trying a Reefbar Ultra Actinic.

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Sweet! I really like the Reefbrite led and t5 look.

Gorgeous fish. Following

Wow, those wrasses are beautiful.

 

[pdt7361]

Yeah...they are definitely beautiful. I had only planned on buying the vermiculite but then the black spot jumped into the cup with him...so I figured they wanted to be together

 

[pdt7361]

Tank has still been doing great. My tangs are still in QT and doing well. The wrasses have all been doing wonderfully as well. The big news I'm my tank lately is all of the growth on my dendros. I bought 2 heads back in February and it has grown at least 5 more heads now. I can't see the back side of of it, but I imagine there is another 1 or 2 back there. Below is the best pic I could get this afternoon of all of the little heads.

Nice upgrade from the BC29 ... beautiful!

 

[pdt7361]

Thanks....still need to get my LED strip on it for a bit more color pop. But it has come together nicely and I like all of the extra space.

 

[bknapp]

Love those leopards!

 

[pdt7361]

Thanks...they are my favorite too. As much as I love them, I care about my dendros the most. Selling at $80 per head, they are quickly becoming very valuable.

 

[bknapp]

I've always wanted some dendros just haven't pulled the trigger on any yet.

 

[pdt7361]

I got the 2 for $50...hard to beat that in today's market

 

[pdt7361]

Not much has been changing with the tank lately...just trying to let everything grow out. I got a few frags from the kids on Father's Day and still plan on putting a couple more and maybe one more fish. I mainly want some more color on the right side...especially that higher section on the right middle...but I don't know what to put there yet. Ideas?

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Some these would look nice.

 

[pdt7361]

What kind of zoas are those?

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Utter Chaos

 

[pdt7361]

So was that an offer to give me some of them? Lol

 

[Zero Nitrates]

Lol!
They are easily the brightest coral in my tank. You can pick them up at swaps or online at a reasonable price. I think for the money they are the hottest zoanthid you can get. Seem to be very hardy too.
