    Java's Upgrade - 57 Rimless

    Having a "fish room", even if it's a closet would be awewsome! Congrats on the upgrade.

    150 gallon corner pentagon mixed reef

    Thanks. I tried a few different zoas and couldn't get any of them to go, so decided to try an acan garden instead. It'll be perfect if I can get them to color up a bit. Yeah, I need to give my addictions a break otherwise I burn out on them. So, my summers are spent outside on the bike and...

    150 gallon corner pentagon mixed reef

    St. Patrick's Day Update Happy St. Patrick's Day! Some new additions and a few growth shots. The tank is starting to fill in, and I'm about done with it for the summer. Mountain biking takes over my time, so it will be a good time for my hands to stay out of the tank (other than routine...

    Hello from the U.P.

    :) Somebody's got to stir the pot. Thanks for pointing it out. I took the first trimming tonight. It had stretched over and was attaching to the rock next to it.

    Hello from the U.P.

    Thanks again! I know something that's getting trimmed this weekend. :)

    Hello from the U.P.

    Thanks a bunch! Is it OK to cut it in the tank, or better to pull it and avoid and toxins from the softie?

    Hello from the U.P.

    The one I have is in the link above called the ORA Nepthea. I really want to stay away from the one that drops branches as there are a few spots in my rock work that I could never get at if one landed there. After the above posts, I'm concerned that I got one. Any help you can give is much...

    Hello from the U.P.

    Thanks for the help with the ID. I've read about Kenya Trees and their spreading, but I never really looked into them. Do all Nepthea sp. and Capnella sp. drop branches and spread through a tank or just the orange/pink one shown in the picture above? I'm a little confused on this as...

    Hello from the U.P.

    Sold on DD as an ORA Nepthea. Might be a Kenya tree. I'm not great at coral ID's.

    Hello from the U.P.

    Nope. Zoas still baffle me. I've tried 2 or 3 different times. They slowly whither and die. Not enough food, too much light, too much flow, wrong parameters, just don't know on them.

    Hello from the U.P.

    Not the greatest picture, but gives you an idea. http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab279/turbulence_2010/IMG_17871024x683_zpsb0054141.jpg

    Hello from the U.P.

    Thanks. This has turned into a disaster. Lost the other clown and chalk bass this morning. Made some very bad decisions and in the end, probably would have been better off never taking the fish out of the DT. I'll tell you about it next time we talk. On a happy note... The corals are doing...

    LoL! Well, I had some great coaching on coral selection. ;) BTW, I'm going to need suggestions in the next week or so. I'll post some updated photos sometime later this week... Thanks for the welcome! I agree on the coralline, but I'm getting impatient. :) I'm starting to see some on...

    150 gallon corner pentagon mixed reef

    Thank you much. It does make a great coral tank IMO because of the depth (over 32" from back corner to front glass) and possibilities for aquascaping. However, if I could do it over again, I'd have a fish room through a wall. The shape makes working on a sump under it pretty difficult...

    150 gallon corner pentagon mixed reef

    LoL! I like the way you think, and I already have the perfect spot picked out for it! BTW, do you have any extra room at your place? I made need a place to stay when the divorce comes. :p

    150 gallon corner pentagon mixed reef

    Yeah, I definitely caught the bug. I love the corals. My wife and kids want every angel, trigger, and other non reef safe fish they see. :) It's been a huge learning curve, but getting there. I hope to have a few more key pieces purchased and placed in the next 6-8 weeks so I can let it...

    150 gallon corner pentagon mixed reef

    Hi all. Just joined the forum and wanted to say hello. Here are some pics of my work in progress. It's been going for a year, but I took last summer off for other hobbies and didn't make much progress May-November. :) Starting to fill out on the corals, but no coralline algae yet. :( I...

    Hello from the U.P.

    I was at a LFS and talking to the owner about converting to salt. Of course, they said no big deal and not really that different than fresh. So, I made a snap decision, turned in 3 years worth of cichlids for credit, and then started researching what it would take to run a reef tank. Rude...
