DSC reef's 75 gallon adventure

[Katrina71]

It was by far the coolest tank I ever had. He was so interactive. You should totally set one up!

Would you mind walking me through it when I'm ready? Being serious.

I believe it was a Atlantic pygmy Octopus. I can't wait to have one again one day

A guy down south collects those from the keys and sells them. He’s got a long waiting list last time I looked. They’re definitely pretty cool.

Hey @DSC reef, sorry if this has been asked; what specifically (did) you have growing on your bare bottom? (were) they encrusting onto the glass/coralline?

cheers

 

[DSC reef]

In that picture those 2 montipora were mystic sunset and WWC cherry tree. They would encrust onto the glass. It was pretty cool to see all the zoas and montis cover the bottom. If we ever did another tank I think we would have sand again though.

Thanx, it looked great, better than sand ;)

I loved that bare bottom. Still have about a dozen photos saved off for ideas, LOL!

 

[DSC reef]

Thanks guys, we had fun with it. My wife and I really missed wrasses and in all honesty, the bare bottom was more work to keep clean!

Always admired encrustment of coral. Tank looks Nice !!

Spamming you with your own picture. I think this was yours.

The last time I snorkled the GBR it was off Hook Island, not far off shore, & I covered an area about football field size. Depth varied from about 4' deep to drop offs about 20' deep between crevises Masses of stoney coral, soft coral, plate coral. The one thing i didn't see was sand. :)

That was ours. That was when the tank was coming back from an alkalinity swing.

Anyone know where @DSC reef went?

I don't know the full picture but my understanding is there was a significant disagreement over somthing said and DSC left a while ago but now comes back occasionally. Anyone who knows more feel free to correct me if I am wrong but that's what I gathered trying to find the answer myself a while ago

I know he left awhile ago and came back, last year sometime during summer maybe. But I see his avatar is gone and he has been MIA.

True I didn't notice the avatar, hopefully him and his family are all okay

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

We are. We've decided on the red sea reefer 750xxl but it will take time to execute. Gonna be super patient with this one.

Hey any updates on the tank?
