trockafella March 20, 2012 Author March 20, 2012 Tank looks soo good. Best fish choice ever! Couldn't agree more.!!
Ryan S March 20, 2012 March 20, 2012 That is a lot of SPS for an LPS tank Agreed. As such, this has no home in a SPS tank: So... I'll take it off your hands. kthx.
Reefoholic March 20, 2012 March 20, 2012 (edited) Such a clean setup and awesome tank Fella!!! Edited March 20, 2012 by Reefoholic
trockafella March 20, 2012 Author March 20, 2012 Nice grabs from Sean! I want some too! He always has some really nice colonies in. I feel its easy to justify $75 for a whole nice colony when they look so good.!
Der ABT March 20, 2012 March 20, 2012 completely agree on the colonies....i love frags of expensive stuff cause it makes an out of reach coral reachable...bet the more i look at the million + frags i have now , i probably woulda dont it differently if i started over.... some of my favorite corals are some of the colonies i got from sean, some granulosa's, and a few others. other good things is colonies grow faster so things fill up nicely and you get a good look at the growth patters so you know how it will fill in certain spaces. and for 75 bucks how can you beat the size. i still love watching a frag get into a colony but man it takes a long time.. the other thing i like about a colony is taking a frag/mini colony off of it and placing it in a different location in the tank to see where it looks best...or giving to a local reefer to have a back up in case you ever loose it...i usually trade or give a cheap price of some of my prize corals to established tanks just in case the day comes when i need a backup...
trockafella March 20, 2012 Author March 20, 2012 Such a clean setup and awesome tank Fella!!! Thanks, I do try hard to keep things very neat and clean. It drives me nuts to see beautiful tanks junked up with wires/cords and just crap all over the place.. I have a feeling your the same way, you have a very clean set up as well..

I completely agree.. I would rather buy one colony a month rathre than 8 frags a month. I also feel sean gets in some healthy stuff, or at least he wont sell it if its not healthy. All the colonies looked great last time I was in there.
trockafella March 20, 2012 Author March 20, 2012 Ryan, it will be a cold day in helll before I give that up..
zygote2k March 20, 2012 March 20, 2012 Ryan, it will be a cold day in helll before I give that up.. you'll trade it eventually- you used to say the same thing about those plate corals and look where they ended up...

trockafella March 20, 2012 Author March 20, 2012 But I still have my large brain coral that ive had for almost 5 years. I think I will add that acan to the never frag/never sell list..

You set a pretty high standard.. I am incredibly happy with the tank, thanks again.
trockafella April 17, 2012 Author April 17, 2012 Here is a pic of my new friend. Not the best pic, the fish is still a little shy so this will have to do. Thanks again Roni..!
roni April 17, 2012 April 17, 2012 he looks awesome there! that is seriously one of the nicest harlequin tusks I've ever seen
trockafella April 17, 2012 Author April 17, 2012 It is such a beauty.! I believe its an Aussie too. The markings on the tail and the rich blue stripes point that way. Its doing great, eating real well.. The rabbit has settled down now, and there coexisting fine. Its definitely submissive to the other fish for now. Its a great addition.!! I really cant thank you enough.!
Ryan S April 17, 2012 April 17, 2012 beautiful fish - but what about your snails and crabs? won't he eat them?

The rabbit has settled down now, and there coexisting fine. Its definitely submissive to the other fish for now. Its a great addition.!! I really cant thank you enough.! you're quite welcome. always good to see fish go to homes where they are appreciated and cared for plus now i get to see him from time to time.
trockafella April 17, 2012 Author April 17, 2012 Roni, you know youre welcome over anytime. Maybe time for a beer next time.! Chad, thats what I thought too, and thanks.! Ryan, thanks. Yes it will probably eat the snails in due time. I dont have any crabs at the moment. I will add more if and when it eats them all. Small price to pay for such a beautiful fish.
trockafella April 17, 2012 Author April 17, 2012 So far its been eating frozen, pellets and flakes. By the looks of it, eating was never an issue. Its a thick healthy fish. I wouild say its a good 4".
Novi April 17, 2012 April 17, 2012 Dont Tusks become the Super Tank boss eventually and bully everything known to man? Still gorgeous fish!
