46 to 65gal upgrade. New photos added 1/17

In the pic I do believe its the same 2 Corals just different color variations.
From the last pic it would be #5 and #6 back

 

The one is a purple branching hammer. The other is a multicolored branching something I picked up as 3 heads for $35 that since split into 5 heads. Not sure of its a frogspawn or a hammer as it kind of looks like both. It came from the store owners home tank and he said his colony had grown larger and becoming more hammer like in the shape of the tentacles but i think it looks more like a frogspawn

 

Yea! I thought either a Hammer or Frogspawn, but the end of tentacles does say Hammer, Purple Hammer huh! I like it. I got to much green in my tank, even my Nem is green
When talking of about $50 difference between the Red and Green Bubble Tip, I went cheap and Green

 

Yea its hard to tell, maybe like some others have noticed before it gained some DNA from being in close range to other corals causing a morph??? The purple hammer is nice but the slowest growing hammer/frogspawn in my tank. Its the only one that hasnt split new heads off yet.

 

You may have answered this, but you must have added more flow to this tank other than the two Hydor 425's you list in the original post??

 

Yes went to 2 425s and a 750 then upgraded to 3 mp10wes

 

Simply amazing sir. Wonderful tank and great selection on corals. Very impressive. I wish my girl loved corals like I do, lol.

 

Tank is looking fantastic!

 

Well it had been a long time since updating. As you may already now My wife and I have bought a house and life has been very busy. The reef has been neglected for quite some time with minimal maintenance performed and no new purchases. During the move I upgraded to a 65gal so the 46gal is no more. My wife hates not having a bowfront but she doesnt clean the glass either so I am really liking a regular tank for a change!!

A few photos, I still have to build the doors for the stand but the frame and inside are complete along with wiring and proper drip loops. After a close call at the last place where alk and CA dripped behind the tank into a surge protector and blew a hole out the back of it, I designed this stand with safety in mind. All plugs are INSIDE the stand with large drip loops. The only thing outside the stand is the outlet itself which is a foot away from the tank and still has a proper drip loop. I plan on upgrading it to a GFCI when I get a chance.



Lots more storage options this time!! No sump at the moment but have room for the future just in case



The sides are going to be hidden doors. In one side is all my Vortech equipment and the other food and test kits.

 

A few pictures of the tank itself as well. All same rockwork and corals as before. Did a waterchange today and added some more sand. Still have to finish adding sand to the left side of the tank and might alter the placement of a few corals. Broke my purple stylo during transport which was a bummer but all frags survived and are rather large so they have been placed in various places to grow into a large stylophora jungle in time. In the end itll look better than it did before anyhow.
