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

I have to cut the grooves out every few days.

 

Here is a video clip of the tank.

I came home from a swap to a completely cyano covered dead Idaho Grape monti colony. Ripped that off the overflow. I moved some zoa rocks to my girlfriend's tank and it opened a lot of space on the sand. This lit me clean up the cluster of corals on the right side of the tank. I like the spread out look a lot more. I also grabbed some cool LE sps and some hard to find zoas (for WV atleast) at the swap as well.

Picked up;
Tyree Pink lemonade
Palmer's Blue milli mini colony
A few random acan frags
purple and green candy canes
Teal and blue tipped stag
red hornets
sunny d palys
toucan zoas
fruit loop zoas
True RPE
Peach daiquiri milli
Orange/Pink monti cap


Goodies won from raffles:
two containers of Tunze Putty
Magnetic probe holder from Geo Reefs
Huge zoa covered rock


I will be adding biopellets by the end of the weekend.

 

Very very nice. Is that a Gigas?

Love the acan garden. You know close ups/macros of the acropora and sps always appreciated.

 

Thank you.

As soon as I buy a dslr with a nice macro lens you will have them. Until then, we are left with ipoop hd videos and 3 year old point-n-shoot camera.

Also, no gigas just a squamosa and 4 maximas. Used to be 5 but one croaked the monday after the swap as well. IDk what happened.

 

Dr. Tim's NP Pearls showed up this morning. I will be adding them to my tank tomorrow night. they are currently soaking in RO/DI water so that none will float.

 

Great looking tank.

 

Congrats on the new adds.

 

Please don't see me as Obtuse or shy angled, I find your Display very Impressive. But I have been under the opinion that when you buy an SPS or any other hard coral, that primarily you want to watch them grow. Forgive me if I'm offensive but your tank, seems to me, like a buy and sell display rather than a buy and display Display. Does that make any sense??

 

Please explain why feel that way. Everything purchased was from frags except for two pieces that started out as just large frags. Every so often i willcmake one frag of a few pieces for some extra cash. Some things have died, been moved to my other tank, or given to close friends as gifts.

 

tank is looking great xmetal, I always have loved how your 36" TEK light looks on your 75 gallon , I finally got a 75 of my own, upgrading from my 55
