4’x2’x2’ build… The Dragons’ Forest

[i cant think]

How much light you putting on the sand bed. Im considering a few extra t5 bulbs or led bars to boost lighting a lil bit.

Btw sorry @i cant think we have totally hijacked your build thread, lol.

Don’t worry!
Trust me, it’s better now as it’s almost impossible to post each week but man seeing all your coral and hearing your experiences really is inspiring

I’m not a hundred percent sure but I think it’s around 100 par. I’m using 2 hydra 32s on a 4x2 120g. Lights are about 12 inches off the waterline blues are at 100%

I’m really happy with the tank size and dimensions. Fits the living room well and it really itches that crave to go bigger. Now I’m thinking frag tanks are in order.

Or maybe a small predator experiment. I’ve always wanted a fumanchu but it seems they’re not well understood. I don’t see many keepers of them, especially long term

That craze to upgrade for more room is a nightmare to deal with, Eventually you give in though.
I know I’m looking at one of the RS G2’s as my next large tank (Currently have a DD) if I was to upgrade.

It really can be a nightmare. I won’t go any bigger unless we move homes. I hate breaking down and moving tanks. Hah. But frag tanks are smaller, lighter. Just need to find the room for more water in the house hah

Definitely!
I’m debating on making my nano have a frag rack just for extra coral placement and no other reason.

But I think you still got quiet some real estate on your aqua scape.

Yeah, my issue is I either go all out or too little. I can’t figure out how many frags on the rock is too many so a frag rack in the future may help if I ever overestimate real estate.

Was a happy day when I got to break out the frag rack last week. Went to the lfs and picked one out hah made a thing of it that day.

Couldn’t be worse than me, I managed to go from a 20+ head torch to a one head torch in a month!

Oof that hurts the heart

 

[NowGlazeIT]

At least you got a little bit of brood stock left is the only silver lining there

 

[NowGlazeIT]

I’ll be sure to hug my torchs extra tight tonight haha

Yeah, I also think without it I wouldn’t have gotten my largest wrasse that I enjoy - The Jade.

Oh man, I’d die to try another torch but anything designer is a goner in my tanks. Hopefully I find a regular green like one I previously had again. Or one similar to the other I had (Second photo).

Don’t even try to ask what they are, those photos were taken in 2019, I even just struggle to remember what coral I have now let alone 4 years ago!

Nice it’s funny cuz my first pair in 2017 were also a green and a purpleish pink. Wish I had pic of them both.
