Sabella's 450L mixed reef build thread

On your frag rack do you keep putting bigger and bigger disks under them? Why not mount them to rocks somewhere?

Not enuff real estate. Those are actually 4 inch disks. Take up a pretty big deal of real estate if I were to place them. I dont know what in the world I did here, more or less just kept buying corals like a madd man and taking photos of everything lol. I finally got everything I need for the new frag tanks except racks. Should be the next month or so where I can finally pull stuff and give this tank a good cleaning

I know we've never met but would it be weird if i just showed up in Staten Island to stare at your tank for a few hours?!? lol I was eyeballing that ET during the livesale... Looking forward to see what it does in your care! As always, tank looks amazing!!

Lol! Theres a few people that randomly showed up here. 18 dollar toll BUT its a long story to actually how I got thefrag. I had to snipe it during the live sale if I wanted it basically. Payed a nasty price for it too, I think unique wanted 250 for it last week when they made their frags.

Nice, love the fts.

Thank you =)

Being a long time since I’ve checked in and OH MY! So much has changed, looking really really good.

Just colored perfect under the par its in. The few frags that i have just a tad further down my frag racks, are all red. Just the perfect amount of intensity kept the red planets true colors.

Arc fireworks is out of control, without a doubt a complete gem. Both favias covered completely under the frag rack and theyre actually fighting down there. Pretty insane because the colors of the day glow everyones looking for, are shaded under my frag rack. I will be sawing this in half, in an attempt to mount both of them. Will take pictures when i do

Also RIP to the ruby red i just got. Its truely insane how the only 3 nights in my life- i left my lid ajar- i had fish jump. It just gets someone to ponder.

Opened/slid my lid to feed one night, checked on it after a few games of pubg before heading out to bed. Caught the little guy all dried up. Very very sad day for my fishtank history, all my animals are family.

Not giving up, but i did buy a red sea lid for my tank. Hopefully itll increase my chances for bottom dwellers.

Bummer about the Ruby Red. Such a pretty little fish.

Graphic! It had to have been 2 hours after i opened the lid, when i found him i put him in my sump. I think god showed up here, because the little fella out of nowhere started breathing. After 20 minutes of going insane, the fish had passed. Very sad, i dont loose fish often so its very discouraging when something like that happens.

Beautiful corals! I hate loosing a fish because it jumps.

How high are your lights off the water?

About 10-12 inches. Last I checked it was 32 from the sandbed, but I've been lowering and raising my fixture lately for cleanings

Look at these insane palys, i dont even like zoas that much but these were insane. Darrens molted cores is what they are, bsa corals named them sticker shock palys.

Awesome colors. It is like a candy store!

(but do not eat the Palys!)

Looking good! Those zoas are sick!!

There pretty sick looking, happy I grabbed them while I could cause now that I've looked them up and seen how much people were paying, I can most likely trade frags for some bloodshots and speckled cracks to add on my collection ATTACH=full]767214[/ATTACH]
