JF Homewrecker and Vivid Insanity growth progression

[thirst]

I've been looking for a nice tenuis like the homewrecker, pretty in pink, or insanity - what's the going price for a frag?

I think hw and pretty in pink go for around 200-500.

Insanity I think it’s hard to find one for sale.

Vivid might have a frag or two but it’s been difficult to frag

Made a lot of progress today!!

Definitely need to do more wire management!

8 radions are in!

Making water to top off the tank! Should be flowing tomorrow!

 

[thirst]

After the last few months of no skimmer, algae is a bit bad, but should clear out soon

Finally, tank is filled!!

From the side before I took out the zeovit reactor and relocated the orange bucket.

Now just need to let the skimmer do its work and see about putting some corals in here!!

 

[thirst]

I changed the skimmer to a lifereef 72 with a blueline 100

Doing work! Already emptied out a lot of skimmate, making it dryer

 

[thirst]

Got more fish!

looks awesome. not sure if I missed it but what all flow do you have and when do you plan on adding SPS?

For flow I currently have a temporary set up.

2xjebao 8000 (pretty straight plumbing so I’m guessing 1500-2k gph) to 2 multiswirls

3x6105
1x xf150 gyre

Trying to decide on getting

4xstream 3?
2x hydrowizard 63?
4x hydrowizard 42?

Yes this tank will be full sps

 

[thirst]

We have MH!!

 

[thirst]

Excuse the wires. I’ll take care of them soon.

 

[thirst]

Yikes!!! Just 1 400 watts halide + my blueline 100 recirculating pump for the skimmer!

 

[thirst]

Par with MH and LED is at 660.

MH only around 450.

Getting an aquarium engineering reactor by Bill Wann in a week or so.

Will start putting in tester frags in the next week or so

 

[CoralWealth]

Looks like one heck of a spaceship! Can't wait to see it progress.

 

[thirst]

First coral into this tank!

Colorado sunburst to Test things out lol

Here’s a cleaner FTS

I took an old 60g acrylic tank lying around and plumbed it as a fuge.

Fed from overflow and return to the sump
