Congratulations Ben, still looking good

I just wonder if there is ever going to come a time when we are totally happy with our tanks

Wheres the fun in that though I have been keeping fish for a good few years and I cant remember ever having a tank where I can sit back, look at it and think to myself "thats finished". If I did I would have probably got bored of it within a few weeks

 

[ben1987]

Nope me neither, i see this tank as collectin nice corals/fish and growing them for an upgrade later on

 

[ben1987]

Two new corals, little frags

Duncan and cataphyllia

 

[ben1987]

Up to over 50X turnover now. Added a koralia one and two. Also de-resticted the return pump, dont know why i did this in the fist place.

Delivered today

The look my brother gave me taking pics of a pump was priceless

Start from the RHS

Growing quite nicely it seems

Sort of 2.5 heads of duncans

This ate like a trooper. decided i like buying small to see if i can make a nice big coral in the future

Hammer and cat. more in the middle now. Just moved the cat, was bigger this morning

Dead central

* Yes that is a tang you can see! What in a 3' tank! Shes not mine, dont worry! Taking a holiday til she can cut it with the big boys in her propper tank *​

Looking good . It is at these times when I wish I had a bigger tank; 24g just isn't enough once your in the grip of the marine world. Since selling a Zoa frag a couple of days back the velocity of the water has increased and hammer and fungia are really not enjoying it. Maybe time for a shift around me thinks. Is that (Euphyllia ancora) a wall hammer you have there? I love the Catalaphyllia centrally, hopefully more pictures in the future when it is open a little more?

Keep us updated

Regards

 

[ben1987]

Yep will do. need to buy a propper camera aswel, but any spare money either goes on beer or corals
cheers CF

 

[ben1987]

Yeah i would say it looks like the wall hammer, was never told for sure. Just had a quick google and its deffinatly similar.

 

[ben1987]

Heres one for this afternoon! Moved that branching rock since. Got more room now.

Looks good Ben. Where did the elegance come from? Local, or LFS?

 

[ben1987]

Cheers Ski, yeah it was from my usual LFS. First one they have had i think. I imagine it origionally came from TMC
