I'm finding as I move forward, that I have a hard time keeping all those Welsos and open brains with sps. This is due to an increase in flow. I look forward to seeing your sucess with both!

I remember some of your posts about that and have been keeping an eye on it. I've had to move my powerheads around a bit and play with the settings to find that happy medium. With two MP40's on a 75 I have a crazy amount of flow. With the recent additions, I've actually turned one of them off and turned the other one up a good bit, and watched closely for a while, and so far everything seems pretty happy. SPS seem to be much happier now also. Must have found that sweet spot as far as flow goes. Definitely need to keep an eye on it for a while still though.

Finally getting closer to getting the 120g set up. Big thanks to Richard (ERC) for coming by last night and helping me get one step closer on that. While he was here we cut some frags from a few of my bigger acro and zoa colonies. I set up a small frag tank a little bit ago so we'll see how they turn out. In the meantime, here's a few recent pictures.

Scoly I picked up from Isaac recently. This picture does it no good. The colors on it when its all

opened are so nice!

Scoly from Marco from the last ERC live-sale, again the picture does this no good. The darker

spots on it are actually a really bright blue.

I can't see pictures at the moment, service is bad, but I'm commenting so I remember to come back, I'm sure it looks great!

Thank you sir! I'm really happy with the way things are going, and everything seems do be doing really well! I'm not quite ready to call it great just yet, but I will call it really good! If I can get the phosphates under control I'll be closer to saying it's great. Richard and I were talking last night and like you, I'm thinking of going the GFO route and seeing what happens. 

 

nice  work so far, looking forward to some more updates

Thanks for checking it out and for the positive feedback sir! I will hopefully have a few more updates coming soon. Like you, I'm just starting a 120 upgrade. That will be a new much more detailed build thread unlike this one of just mainly pictures. Thanks again for checking it out and good luck with your build! I'll be following along.

That Bonazai is looking VERY happy! Well done. Is that a melanurus wrass? Also, that Scoly from ERC is hot. Keep me in mind if you ever want to get rid of it!

Thank you! That seems to be one of the more sensitive pieces I have as far as the color goes. It tends to be my phosphate tester....9 out of 10 times, when it starts losing color phosphates are way high. The wrasse is a christmas wrasse. It has so much personality and is so fun to watch. I will try to get a good pic of the scoly...it looks so much better in person. First dibs to you if I ever decide to get rid of it. Thanks again for the kind words sir!

I think this build is pretty much finished up now since work on the 120g upgrade is finally moving along. I'll start an actual detailed build thread for that soon. In the meantime, I might as well share some recent pictures.

Nice scoly rock!

Thank you sir! The one I got from you (last picture) looks so good when it's opened up. The yellow color of the tentacles like awesome. 
Also...The picture below the scoly rock is a frag I got from you. Can you refresh my memory what that is? It has really taken off lately!

Sure can, it was sold to me as a rainbow granulosa.

Wow... nice setup.  I already want a bigger tank.

Haha....yeah it doesn't take long for that to kick in. Mine will be up for sale in the coming weeks.

You have good taste.

Thank you sir! 

 

darn Kyle looking awesome!

Thanks man! That cali blue is growing like crazy! Joe the coral is too but I can't get it to color up like it was. The tips are coloring up pretty nice but nothing like it was for you. Let me know if/when you get back around this way sir.

Looking good brotha!

Thanks buddy, appreciate it! Starting to get things figured out. Thinking of some changes/additions so we'll see how it all plays out. 

Zoas i picked up from you are doing great. Will get some pics up in the next few days.
