Your Dendro looks super happy. That the one from the MARS swap?? Does it have any other heads yet?

looks great!!

yeah that's the one from MARS, still on head. I think it's something else. I found a picture of something else, forgot the name, but said it was an extremely slow grower.

Thinking about remaking the rack when I move stuff over to the main tank. Thinking tiers on both sides of different heights. Won't get too worried until I get the light I want for the tank. Looking for one of the 4' 250 halide w/ antinics and moons, just like the display.

BTW my old tank is officially for sale. 125g w/ stand, 2 400w halides, 2 96w antinics, 40ish sump, reeflo dart, and matching hood - if anyone knows anyone interested in getting into the hobby it's almost a complete setup. I'll make a good deal on it

I might have a 4' 175w fixture for sale with 96w actinics but no moonlights. Not sure if that will be enough for you though.

Also do you feed the one head whatever it is coral??? LOL...

I wanted to keep the halides the same as the display. That way I can move the pieces in the frag tank around and see how they react to different light. And of course it would be as close to the same as possible to each other. But thanks anyway.

post a bigger pic of that single head...i may have one also(not from mars swap)

 

[Fishcrazy06]

The name just popped into my head. I think its what they call a firecracker coral. For some reason I am almost positive thats what that is. I think I remember you falling in love with it at the swap!!!

I found my stand covering!!!! I had been looking for a creative way to cover the stand, I wanted to use a river rock type covering but it was too heavy for the top. Well I found a foam fake covering. Sweeet.

Check it out:

Pretty sure rhizo is correct.

Australian balanophyllia

Balanophyllia (per polyp) / Balanophyllia sp. / Wild Corals Hard - Quality Marine
