xmetal's 75 gallon upgrade (2/22/12)

Any updates?

 

No real updates. Lots of growth in some corals and almost none in others. I am waiting to receive a number of SPS mini colonies this month then a frag swap on the 30th. Definitely going to be a decent update then.

I am loving my NextReef reactor and would love to run another for solid carbon dosing, but i also have a large number of LPS corals in my tank. Making it hard to keep both LPS and SPS alive.

I switched over to SeaChem Reef Salt and love it. It takes a little longer to mix than my old salt, but the difference in coral growth and levels right after mixing are well worth it.

 

I snagged some nice stuff from the WORC frag swap on Sat in Dayton, OH. Definately worth the 5 hour drive.

2 Dr. Mac Maximas 4"-6" paid $66 each
Photos don't do these guys justice

Assorted SPS not including the monti cap (~$100):

forgot to take a photo.

I wish I could take better photo with my point-n-shoot, but these will do for now.

 

WOW - very nice adds - those clams look spectacular!

 

He brought about 75 clams and as charging 1 for $90, 2 for $150, and 3 for $200. My friend and I were going to get on each for $150, but the gf and I couldn't decide on just one. We both liked a different one. So for another $50 we bought 3 for $200. I wish these photos showed the true color of the clams. The one the right is actually yellowish, green, and blue, but from the top its like a rainbow flourecing up at yout. The other is baby blue.

I wish we brought more money with us. O well, just more money for the next swap in Sept ish.

 

beautiful additions! Id love to c a full tank shot, c how your tanks been progressing

 

I will get you photos as soon as I can.

I am starting a business venture and don't have much time on my hands outside of work work and planning/starting a business.

 

Those are definitely some very nice pieces. Score!

 

Great adds and prices.

 

Thank you very much. I love frag swaps.

I have two more pieces coming in the mail today.
