Rice Reef's 120 SPS Reef Tank

[fishytime]

mmmm, I like that first one with the pukey polyps....very nice

[Rice Reef]

It's been two months since I have posted an update... Corals are growing and it may have been benefiting from the following changes
- I've switched over to biopellets but I am still dosing Vodka
- I have been adding 1 capful of MB7 once a week

Since April my two flasher wrasses finally decided to commit suicide. I am to blame as I did not have a top screen and I do not want to put one over the tank (at least not now). So, no more wrasses for me.

I have also added more frags to the tank (don't know where they are gonna go but I will have to find room for them) from fellow Canreefers in the Mainland and another CM order.

Here are some pics... from Top Down... I picked up a Eshopps Super Spy Viewer... while taking pics the darn thing kept on moving about ( I had the pumps off but the return is still moving it around) and affecting some of the images. Hope you don't mind some blurry pics... Guess I will have to figure out how I am gonna secure this while taking pics... may need an assistant to hold it still...


Enjoy the top down of existing corals and some of the new ones....

Wayne, you are so screwed when those frags start filling in I'd be planning the tank upgrade about now.
If things get out of control before the bigger tank shows up, let me know, I can help...

Dude that FTS looks killer man. last time i saw frags and small colonies in a tank was a guy in Calgary named EPOSER
he had a fancy corner 155 gal and it was full like yours.

Brad you might remember that name.

Brad, pls don't remind me... I thought of that after the last batch of frags... Don't know about a bigger tank but I have to fish out that darn blenny who keeps pushing all the frags around. Gonna try that fish hook trick soon. I have been hoping that the blenny would also commit suicide like the wrasses I bought from Gareth. Sooner I get rid of him the better so I can place more frags on the second level. If I don't upsize I know I can throw some corals in your tank.

Thanks! Do you have the link to eposer? Would like to see how his tank ended up being... I can learn from his/her journal.

Rich, you're too kind...I can only hope the corals can grow as fine as yours... Lmk when you and Chris are coming over again, I can pick u guys up so you can save the ferry money on more corals and stuff!
