Well if I could help you out I would, but last I checked these things need water. And I am a ways away from having the "right stuff". But I could guarantee that the would be no fragging. What about at tank at the store for the time being?

Ive also noticed that my red blastos havnt fully expanded since the addition of the vortech, so that may be another one that may have to be re-homed. Im gonna try moving it around to see if I can find a better place for it. The vortech is great and I really like it but its creating all kinds of havoc with my overflows. The stream is too powerful to leave going when I feed the tank, but when I put it in feed mode my overflows go all crazy and I have to re-adjust them. Oh the problems we face:mrgreen:

I was looking at those Vortecs at RC the other day, pretty insane. Id like to see the flow it create, has to be fairly large seeing the under toe/current they say it creates.

Maybe you should just keep the frogspawn and donate the Vortech to a good cause... like someones bigger tank.. :wink:

I'll have to swing by sometime and have a peak at this thing..

Nice birdnest! I have a recent fascination with the different birdnests lately... When I worked at J&L there was a shipment that came in where the birdnests were bright pink, and the polyps were NEON purple/blue. They were RAD. Sold in like 2 hours. :lol:

Photo tip: Shorten your exposure from what you had, and those pics would represent the tank but more accurately.. (could also make the f/stop smaller instead... ie: f/3.5 to f/7.1)

Tank looks good though... gonna be sad to see that frogspawn go though. :cry:

Looks awesome! Really looks like some amazing growth! You're sure those blastos are happy eh?? :mrgreen: Kidding. So sad to see the frogspawn going! You'll have to fill it with an equally impressive piece!!!!! Ooo that sorta sounds fun! And the hunt is on....

Thanks everybody! So its gone....buddy came last night and took it home....There is now a huge void in the tank that I spent the better part of the evening staring at:neutral:....Being that gargantuspawn was such a focal point of the tank Im thinking that I need to do something really cool with the rock work where he used to live. Im gonna pick through the LR at work today to see if I can find a couple pieces to make what I have in mind, come to life. That coral had some serious weight to it...like a couple pounds, easy. I did a quick and rough count of the heads while it was un-happy and there was easily 40-50. I miss it already:sad: Last time I checked, my manfrags were still there.:redface: Believe me....I would love to upgrade but there are too many reasons why I cant....money, space and the fact that we rent means that whatever tank I have needs to be somewhat portable, so anything bigger than this would be a major undertaking to move. Excuses, excuses....I know....I will take a few new fts pics once I am happy with how the reno goes. Gonna sound geeky but...live long and prosper Gargantuspawn.

Hopefully that little frag of yellow birdsnest will become a new focal point of the tank.:mrgreen: I took your advice btw for this next round of pics...whatcha think?

So after picking through the lr at the store(and there is probably 400-500#s there) I finally held up a piece and went...."this might work".... got it home and.... it fit like a glove:smokin:. I knew I wanted to fill the area in a bit, so that I could glue in some recent frag additions. The thing is, I have a K2 powerhead stashed behind the rock work, pointing towards the front right corner of the tank that I wanted to keep. Also there is a zoanthid colony growing on the main pile of rock, right where it would be best to add rock. So simply pililng on a couple more chunks was something I wanted to avoid. So heres what the new scape looks like. The new piece "bridges" from the main pile to the overhang. This way I avoided the zoas, didnt have to move the powerhead and made another pass through for the fish......I think Im happy with it.:p
