Also planning to frag the Red w/ Yellow Eyes chalice (Golden Eye?) so I built up a frag rack. Some pics of the build..

Had to give my Golden Eye Chalice a good trim! Was getting too close to the other rocks and didn't want to loose control of it. It was super angry at me. Still can see some of the slime in the pictures. Frags already healing up nice since the pictures were taken. Will give it a good couple weeks before putting the frags up.

Time to post some updates. I have started to build a canopy. It will function as a reflector to focus light back into the top half of the tank giving the SPS more light with out increasing light on LPS below.

Got an order from Fragbox as well. Happy overall with the shipment. Came in very quick and corals looked healthy.

https://www.phoxone.com/imagehost/tj/081.jpg I need to get a better camera! My phone just doesn't do the job! More corals incoming in a few days, I'll get those posted! |
Was having some issues with shadowing on my SPS so to combat that I built a canopy with reflectors which has helped quite a bit. In the shadow areas, the SPS were going white almost to the point that it looked like the tissue wasn't there. Now the tissue has returned to a nice coating of pale browns. Happy days.
The frame. https://www.phoxone.com/imagehost/tj/082.jpg The skin, just needed a little filler and paint for the screws and corners. https://www.phoxone.com/imagehost/tj/083.jpg Reflectors. https://www.phoxone.com/imagehost/tj/084.jpg |
Good that you used aluminum foil. When salt creeps onto it you can just rip it off and put new stuff on. Saves scrubbing time.

I'm just happy my wife likes to see me happy with a hobby. Her words were exact, "as long as you're contributing your half to the house then what's left is yours to have fun with" it's amazing how much our household bills have slimmed down since! |
Been busy and haven't done much to the tank. I little trim here and there. Updated photo for journal!
