John's 75 Last picture

Thanks Travis, funny thing is although the tank looks yellow/green on the WB photo the corals look pretty close to what I see. Just a little light on red and blue.

Thanks

Thank you

 

My favias will look like that someday. Someday..

Gorgeous as always John!

 

Thank you and yes yours will. That is about 21 months growth if I remember right. Probably 3X the polyps on the left and 10X on the right.

 

I'm amazed at BOTH of your tanks. Which do you like better?

 

Thank you, that depends on my mood and how much work is required on that tank, LOL. It is pretty even.

 

Whats your secrets to the candycanes / trumpets? lol.. Mine die within hours :\

 

I'd like to know this too! I've had a hell of a time trying to keep candycanes/ trumpets as well.

 

Not really positive. I am thinking you guys have had bad luck with the stock. The only time I had problems with them was when I had a lot of fish in the tank and the nutrients got out of hand. I don't spot feed them.

 

And the latest FTS

As you can see I scraped the coralline off of the back, or at least most of it. OK the easiest to remove.

 

Although it's a MAJOR PIA I think tanks with black backs look better without coralline. That is the way I plan on keeping mine in the future, now that I can reach the back. It gives contrast to the corals in the tank and also a perception of depth if that is possible.

Last image before FTS, the Valida?

Boy I love those Palys with the long tentacles and the red Zoanthids in image three.

I could sit and look at that tank for hours on end, I would never get anything done.
