Great start so far!

Got more tidying up to do, hard part is finding small frags.. LFS near me has mostly large colonies..lol

Hmm did you check to see if there is a club around you? Some members of a club would surely help you out.

 

[Jamesholt]

There are a few around me, but with my work schedule most of my shopping is just "spur of the moment"

That is a interesting light stand, I am guessing you made it?

Moved these three over to the cube..

This shroom is starting to get settled in..

Went to ReefSmart this past Saturday and picked up 4 frags, Grandis Palythoa,Duncan,Toadstool, and a unknown Zoa..
Massive waterchange yesterday, almost use an entire gallon,,lol
Having camera troubles right now, will post pics tomorrow..

Added a small torch..

1 gallon water change yesterday, nothing new added, tank is just cruising along....
:D:D

 

[Jamesholt]

Pico still going well, still haven't had to clean the glass..
Nice to have one I can just look at and enjoy...
Add a little water in the mornings when I get home, change a gallon of water every 3-4 days..
Need to get some Zoa going on the rocks, may order a few next week..

 

[Jamesholt]

Pico has been in cruise mode since the last post, top off every morning, WC every week..
The red mushrooms are dropping babies so it will need more room...
Getting bored with it, setup a 40g breeder AIO gonna move everything to it so I can have a fish or two..

Congrats on going bigger!!

Thanks

The pico was just an experiment, already not happy with the 40 as a AIO, wanting a Deep Blue Rimless 90g..
Just trying to keep what coral I have left thriving while I do the job search thing..
Where I am working now is closing and going to Mexico.. :(
