My 240

[Herefishyfishy]

Moved my zoanthids into this tank on frag racks untill I get my 40 back up or a new Zoanthids tank

Mama finally gave in?

Is the Frag racks to prevent the Zoas getting lost on the bottom?

As always, the best looking softy tank around!

Just saw this,
I moved all my zoanthids I wanted to keep into the 240 untill I decide on what to do, use the old tank, or make a new one.
Thanks

any updated shots? Love the tank Martin and I am seriously leaning toward shifting to softy/LPS dominant. Great job on the tank.

Once you've done a softy, you never go back

What a still picture will never show is the LIFE! Softy tanks blow and wave in the currents. Like being in a piece of the ocean

Very true.


Thanks


The tank is doing pretty good right now. When I had all my zoanthids on frag racks in the 240, I had a little problem with a 18" dia. rbta. It decided to move ( been in the same spot for 4 years) and got sucked into a seio 1500.
Needless to say it went through the powerhead, completely.
The tank was solid milk color for almost 24 hours.
I lost alot.
2 of my biggest neon green sinularias, melted completely, a few small ones and about a 1/3 of my zoanthid frags/colonies.
Over the first 3 days I did six 90 gallon water changes and used a couple quarts of carbon.
Another thing that happened is that the tank experinced a aptasia explosion.
I mean they showed up everywhere. Almost every zoanthid colony suddenly had mulitple aptasia babies inbetween the polyps.
I'll try and get some current pictures up this weekend.

Exactly.

I even have that nasty ( everybody tells me it's nasty) GSP growing across the back wall of the tank.

Got bored waiting for some deliveries.

Now THAT is a softy tank!
one word says it best: WOW!

 

[BCT182]

Wow finn. If you ever wanna frag some leathers I'll set up a tent and sleep on your lawn so Im first in line. Great selection and placement of corals. Thats the look. No ROCK!

 

[mfinn]

I'm also going to add a few more fish. Really make that skimmer work.
I just added the Sohal, a Flame and Coral Beauty.
Maybe add a couple more fish next month.

Moorish idol????

 

[reedman]

That looks fantastic! I love the garden of leathers too....great look. Yep, I think most or all of the rest of my SPS have got to go to make room for more softies. lol

 

[DolphinLVR]

you know the more I look at tanks such as yours finn, the more I am leaning towards a predominantly softie tank!

 

[mfinn]

Moorish idol????

Don't know if I have swimming room for them.
My Sohal Tang is going to have to learn how to zig and zag.:lol:
