I saw you get rid of that 90 but thought the 180 was still going. It was looking really great what happened? Sorry to hear.

Oh I'm not totally out, I'm just calling this phase the "I have a tank phase". I wouldn't call it a reef anymore, unless its one of those after the hurricane/too much pollution death tanks. I figure if it keeps up the way its going (stuff dying) I'll be at the FOWLR or "I have a tank full of water and algae" phase within a year.

Sorry to crap on your thread. Moar photos!

Best of luck I guess at least you're still in it. Don't worry about the hijacking I owe him some. If there's anything else you feel like chatting about please stop in again.

I'm pretty sure that's why Brad put "& Stuff" in my thread title..

So shortly after I got my tank back on track this past fall you may recall that I put a few tester SPS colonies in to test the waters (hehe I'm so punny). Well, those pieces have coloured up nicely and have started to grow.

Browned out STN'ing digi..

Before:



After:



So anyway, once I was satisfied with their progress I decided to go all-in and start stocking up on frags 'n such. I pretty much hit up anyone in town that had anything available. Thanks to all my local reefer buddies my tank now looks like a 150g frag tank I'm not complaining though. Part of the fun is watching things grow (or not grow and trying to figure out why? ).

This particular frag pack is from my one of my all time favourite vendors, Oceanic Corals.



P.S. excuse the diatoms on the sand bed. Apparently that's what happens when you change out your sand bed

Oh my, whats the green birdsnesty thing on the right? It looks cranky but pretty, any idea what it ends up looking like or if they gave it a fancy name?
