My 40 gallon recife build

[steveschuerger]

I might enter this month's fungia plate potm contest. If I do, it'll be a tough choice between Sweetlips and the insanity plate.

Love these kinds of plate corals . Remind me of Tribbles or undersea hedgehogs

Nice job with tank. Really wish I’d had enough space to go with a mid sized cube, but it’s probably a good thing. 25 gallons makes me make better decisions I think on what should go in the tank.

Im leaning that way.

My two options.

The psychedelic sea turtle

Smiling in the Sun

Both are great photos. Love the backdrop on the first one but the yellow really pops. I'd go with the yellow.

Appreciate ot man. Maybe if I can introduce SweetLips properly, everyone can see how much of a diva she is.

I'll be a little disappointed if I don't see Sweetlips entered.

Imma +1 to the above ^^

I definitely agree, and thanks for the input! Now if you could just fly down here with that cannon....

Thanks for the kind words Steve. You're absolutely right too. My size tank in a cube is in a weird spot between bigger tank freedom and nano reality. Ive definitely pushed the limits at this point lol

Absolutely

You seen it first here. Today’s FTS. Nothing done yesterday lol. Trying to catch up on my sleep. Still trying to get the Meridian so that everything is happy.

Nice! Looking very good steve, maturing very well, neat coral picks too!

HAHA! If you can send me a pic in RAW format (newer iPhone pro's have that) I'd be happy to run it through Lightroom for you.

Great selection of corals Steve! Are you going with the mlMeridian 11? Im putting a meridian on my new frag build. Very impressive lighting systems

Is anyone in any of the SPS Tank growout comps?

I have a frag of Tropicana and POTO Cofefe' coming in tomorrow. Im really looking forward to the corals AND the competition.

Nope :-)

I didn't feel like watching a beautiful frag shrivel and die. But I am hopefully going to his shop on Friday for a frag of TGC Creamsicle and maybe another scoly (!!). I'll keep track of the creamsicle growth if any :-)

You had me at scoly.

Well actually you had me at "I".

Let's address your POTM plate entry. I'm wondering how in the world I didt't know you had that thing? Im still going to enter a picture of my "Sweetlips" plate, but Im voting for you! That is a killer sandbed mama, JoJo!

That's all @Jimbo327 's doing! We had a joint order from Dr. Reef and I wanted to buy some of his zoas when he came by to pick up his pipefish, and he just happened to have a baby plate as well! I'm eternally grateful for getting that pick-up. I stare at it throughout the day while I should be writing :-)

Yep it’s a Meridian 11. Tried to win one at Frag Farmers but obviously missed out. That one would’ve been overkill for sure being the 24. Love the app. I’ve seen several of our R2R friends schedules of course including the one @VintageReefer has referred to.
