reefmontalvo October 15, 2008 Share October 15, 2008 What do you do when the frags are no longer frags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami October 15, 2008 Share October 15, 2008 What do you do when the frags are no longer frags? Get a bigger tank or another tank, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen October 15, 2008 Author Share October 15, 2008 Get a bigger tank or another tank, I suppose. Maybe... Eventually they'll end up in other tanks and I'll keeps my favorites in this tank. That's my plan... But I like the bigger tank idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia October 16, 2008 Share October 16, 2008 Sounds amazing, now where are those pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen November 26, 2008 Author Share November 26, 2008 (edited) Finally got around to taking some pics. Have a little turf algae issue on the back glass (hoping my upgraded CUC will take care of that) but here they are anyway. Sorry they aren't that great. Camera isn't the greatest and for some reason it washes the colors on certain pics. Just picked the clam up today on my first visit to Atlantis in Richmond. Nice shop BTW. I'll add some more actinics only later on. Edited November 26, 2008 by Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHUBAKAH November 26, 2008 Share November 26, 2008 Can't wait to see what this is going to look like in about a year from now. That's in insane amount of corals for thirty gallons. It should look sick, however you're gonna have your hands full with fragging. Good job! Let me know when you have some frags ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen November 26, 2008 Author Share November 26, 2008 It should look sick, however you're gonna have your hands full with fragging. Let me know when you have some frags ready. Yeah I will. There's going to be a 20 gallon tank set up and plumbed into this solely for use as a frag tank. My idea is to eventually replace the 30 gallon with a 40 breeder or 50 gallon, use the 30 for a sump, and the 20 for a frag tank. That's a little ways off though.

Stephen December 8, 2008 Author Share December 8, 2008 So my upgrade wasn't that far off. The 30 gallon is no more. I don't spend much time in my office this time of year so I moved the tank into my second living room where my home office is. I'll probably add a larger nano cube or RSM next year when business picks back up. I upgraded to a 40 breeder and am using the 30 as a sump. I'll start a new thread and post some photos once my rock is delivered and I get it placed in the bare spots the tank has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
