YHSublime January 14, 2013 Author Share January 14, 2013 frogspawns need a lot of room and may sting other corals close to it so keep an eye on it as it gets bigger. Thanks for the heads up. I plan on having my 40 setup by the time it grows. I expect good reactions once they get under these lights: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime January 15, 2013 Author Share January 15, 2013 Updated: Added some new Pink and Green Palys from Cees Reef (Thanks Curtis, they are looking awesome in the blues!) The pics reflect with the whites, but I'll probably put some up later to show how nice they are in the blue lights. They have since opened up almost all the wa: Peppermint getting friendly on the toadstools: Pink Palys: FTS Also found these growing on a shell: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimlin January 15, 2013 Share January 15, 2013 i have to say that toadstool is my favorite coral, well second to the green star polyps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime January 15, 2013 Author Share January 15, 2013 The toadstool has been one of my favorite additions to the tank. First day or two there were no "hairs" coming out of it. I was shocked when it sprouted green tentacles all over! Watching everything grow has been awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime January 16, 2013 Author Share January 16, 2013 Stopped and visited Monkiboy tonight, picked up some sweet corals: I also picked up the two hammers in the back from another member today. Hey there rock anemone, you do what you want (follow the pathway up in the middle, it's new home <sigh> Tonights FTS: Also, enjoyed this: And last but not least, my clowns are enjoying this coral, can anybody explain "hosting" to me, and is it possible they might have chose these pink palys?

smallreef January 16, 2013 Share January 16, 2013 Clowns choose something they feel safe in, the host, usually an anemone, but really anything that doesn't hurt the clowns can be a host... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime January 18, 2013 Author Share January 18, 2013 I redid my rock work. When I put together my rock and aquaspace I didn't take into account the corals I was going to be keeping, and the cleaning of the tank, or even how big things would grow and what didn't get along with others. I like it a lot, and it makes a big cave in the middle. It really showcases the tank, and my rock anemone is making it's way out from the back of the tank to the middle, slowly but surely. The toadstools don't seem to be coming out as much, but I will give them some time and see what happens.

YHSublime January 26, 2013 Author Share January 26, 2013 Just a few new pics, few new corals. 55gallon comming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimlin January 26, 2013 Share January 26, 2013 corals all look happy. does that mean you are going to use the 55 as a reef tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime January 26, 2013 Author Share January 26, 2013 to corals all look happy. does that mean you are going to use the 55 as a reef tank? So I actually ended up selling my 55 long via craigslist, but she didn't take the stand Getting ready to put that up on CL. Ended up going with this. Guess I should edit and say 45 gallon (which is exactly what the breeder was, from my understanding.) I've got the lights, just need to get a good protein skimmer, an RO/DI, and a pump. it'll be a slow and steady build. i ended up returning the 40 breeder and 20 gallon potential sump. The idea of drilling them, building a sump and then a stand, and still mounting the lights from the ceiling was just too daunting. Once I ever move into a house, then I'll have a garage for DIY, but for now I'm ready for plug and play action. I also need to slow my roll, if the miss wasn't in the picture, I'd have a tank on every wall. I've got a good handful of projects lined up!

CaptainRon January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 A 36" x 18" footprint tank would have looked MUCH MUCH nicer in that location!!! (j/k) Looking very nice - keep the updates coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry man! I was actually planning on using the space where the table is in the picture. For some strange reason my gf came around and we rearranged, she's going to let me showcase it, which is quite a surprise. I would have gone with a 90 if I had known! impressed. two tanks in one room. where did you put that third tank? Maybe that will be the name of my new thread. I planned on switching out the 14 with the 29. My folks live in Falls Church, so I was cleaning it up over there. Until I get an RO/DI unit, it doesn't make sense to buy and transport all that water.
