Lance's 225 gal tank

Lance · #1 02-22-2011, 12:20 AM

So this is what I came home to from my vacation:

As you can see the big pink Cap is about 50% dead. I was thinking maybe Mont-eating Nudis but I couldn't see good enough as the Cap is in the center of the tank. I broke off a good sized chunk and examined it; but found nothing. Any ideas?

After fragging, this is what I'm left with. I dipped all the frags in a freshwater bath and then a coral dip. They will remian in Qt for awhile until I'm sure they're ok.

This is what that part of the tank looks like now with the cap removed. Although I have had that cap for 3 years and grown it from a frag colony to a nice sized colony, it was actually getting too big and shading out my Crocea. It hurts to lose it but now I have space for more corals.

More space is always good, sorry the monti didn't do well though. Glad the barracuda didn't get the better of you, and that you had a good trip over all

Thanks Laurie. Yeah we had a good time in spite of a few not-so-nice incidents. I can't figure out what happened to the Cap. All other corals are fine, including other Montis.

A few shots of the 90 with the Pink Cap removed.

The clam was getting shaded from the cap; now it's in better light.

Got this frag from O/A awhile back. It was just a browned out little guy but was very hairy so I grabbed it. The pic doesn't really show it but it has turned a bright lemon-lime colour.

Tank still looks great Lance, Bob just got some sand sifter gobies in that will clean that sand bed up for you.

We could all use a little more depth Doug.

The corner tanks are pretty cool but kinda challenging for flow and light. I've got about 47x turnover and some areas get hammered while others don't get enough.
