Our Progress - 46 bowfront

A few new pictures - frag swap findings!

Tubs blues (it has over 20 polyps - ok for $25?)


Yuma


Jwin's new "brain" (the old one quit working)


FTS - we're almost to 9 months on the tank now

 

wow i love those corals! makes me want to get a yuma and a brain later on

 

that yuma looks awfully close the the hammer coral
just saying make sure its good and clear


looks like some good deals though

 

Good eye, Jake! I actually put the yuma in front of the hammer, ahead of direction of flow. Unless the hammer can direct its sweepers backwards, the yuma should be okay. ;D I had a Florida ricordea in that spot for a few months with no problems. It wasn't as pretty and had to take a back seat to the new yuma!

 

I like my brain

 

that FTS is spectacular. you guys rock! definitely the best mother/son team on 3reef...

 

Probably the ONLY mother/son team on 3reef!

 

ah, dont let it take away from the moment brilliant job on the aquascaping as well! my nine month mark comes up next month, i wish you wouldn't have set the standard so high.

 

We like setting the standards high. Or my mom likes buying corals...whichever way you want to see it.

That Yuma's going to be a big mama. It's already opened up to become larger than our other ricordias. And we separated the shroom and hammer coral a bit. I even turned the hammer sideways to allow the baby heads some light. That thing has had 7-10 small heads on it just dying to grow somewhere, but they were all shaded by the top main heads of the coral, so no light was getting to them. Hopefully by rotating the piece we'll be able to have a "fuller" looking hammer coral.

 

Nice!

This is so exciting to have found this forum and this thread in particular. I am just about to start basically the same tank. I am just in the stage of buying all of my equipment and reading up as much as I can before I start working on it.
