Omg. Thats nothing but sexiness!!!!

This photo is amazing!

Awesome tank, wow!!

http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/s...141122_047.jpg

Umm. wow!!

Colin

Lol thanks. Been a while since I've updated this and having kien take pictures it only seemed appropriate lol

Ya that's one of my favorite pics as well! I've had that toadstool for roughly 5 yrs now

wow man the tank looks amazing. lost your number with my previous iphone, didn't back it up. oops

Well its been a long time coming but i think i'm going to restart this tank and start getting rid of the corals i don't like lol. Going to redo the complete rockwork and get rid of all the gsp in my tank and keep a few of my sps that i like, stay posted in the for sale forum as i'll be fragging or selling whole colonies.

rebuild on the way yay.

man i must be bored with the tank lol

Must have plenty of spare time. Will be checking out the classifieds for any interesting unwanted corals. ;)

Just a warning, my attempt at that caused me 6 months of grief!! lol

Lol I know what you mean but just can't handle the new spots of gsp popping up everywhere Lol. Should be fun

Well I bit the bullet and redid it.
http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/s...413_173950.jpg

Way more swimming room for the fish and no more gsp lol

Looks good victor! That should fill up quickly

Looks great. Did you use all new rock?

Yep all tonga rock no live rock from eli one of the sponsors here on canreef. eli was great he let me build my whole rock structure at his ware house and then once I got the shape I wanted I just paid him for the rocks. I still have plenty of live rock in my frag tank in the basement so bacteria is still in there.

Whoa, all new rock and all new live sand ?? I didn't realize it was ALL new when i saw the tiny iPhone pic. Looks so clean ! Definitely +1 on all that negative (swimming) space! Very nice. You've got some serious .... Vic :lol: I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do that. Here's hoping for a smooth transition.

That tonga branch looks great! Nice looking tank.

Victor that setup looks sweet with all the space there you fish will love it and for great growth of corals.
Cheers

Looks great Victor, change it good sometimes!

No guts no glory lol. (hopefully my tank will make it to tank of the month one day). All the rocks are new tonga rock, 2 new bag of sand (not live) thats how i role lol.

Looks like you were just about there :) Now you have to wait again.

damn lol well give it another year and i'll be there again lol

Looks great! I hope you have a smooth transition too. I'm nervous for you. :p How did you treat the rock before the move? Did you put any old rock in the sump to help out?

I didn't treat the new rock just threw it into the tank. All the old rock I just sold. I do have about 50lbs of rock in my sump to maintain the beneficial bacteria. So far so good nothing has died and I still get good polyp extention.

Thanks for all your rock and corals man! Everything looks great in the tank, currently have really good polyp extension on the sps frags you gave me. Absolutely a ton of life on that rock, i woke up to my girlfriend peering at the tank, face right up against the glass! Haha, a good sign. She loved your tanks and said i should get my tank like yours and to buy what i need to do it. Sweet!
If you're selling some more frags in the future i will be sure to purchase next time were in calgary, and if you're ever coming through Golden feel free to stop in!

i see room for a few more tangs now dawg! wow you really thinned the herd out since i was over but it's nice to see all the open areas that scape allows for.

i thought you were going to get an ati hybrid. are you committed to full T5 now?

Ah ok, that rock in the sump should definitely help - you're braver than me. I'd do that with LPS, but SPS? Maybe you're just crazy. :p

Lol that was an upgrade I went to CONCEPT AQUARIUMS and walked out with 2 8 bulb ati hybrids lol. Love the t5 led hybrid Best light on the market in my opinion.

I did mine with only a large aquaclear sponge block. Worked perfectly :)

Now that's ballsy lol. I do have a biopellet reactor so plenty of bacteria in there. I wasn't to concern with the transfer but it's taking forever to clear up the water. I should of rinsed the sand before throwing it in lol.

Nah, I prepped the sponge for 2 months beforehand, and knew it would be enough to filter things until the rock built bacteria. This is why I don't buy into the "wait for a year before SPS" line. I added 50 frags day one and all my fish into a system with a crappy skimmer, no reactor and dry rock/sand. Big water changes every two weeks, and everything stayed very healthy the whole process.

Yup, I've subscribed to the Brad method
Works great every time I put fish in my fresh QT

Wow dude, this tank looks beautiful. I showed my wife and she's being a little more receptive to "underwater gardening" as she calls it. Great job!

Jesse

It's not so much the Initial move but the fact that the corals are going from an established tank with (assuming) stable parameters to a new tank where parameters have a tendency to fluctuate. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It really sucks when it doesn't.

Thanks Jesse. It was a long struggle from the beginning but I think I kinda know what I'm doing now lol.
