Green trumpets please!

I have a frag that just broke off the main colony. Only has 1 or 2 heads but they grow fast if you want that ?

We have a very dark purple coral beauty and a Atlantic Blue tang that is mostly yellow and still a juvenile that We are looking to rehome. Our reef is extremely peaceful and we have had no problems with the fish but since we are starting a new tank we have decided on some new Tangs and a flame angel instead of the coral beauty . If you are interested let me know ? They will be coming out of the tank in the next coue weeks . I am in Michigan and don't really want to ship. It gets expensive for free fish

A frag would be great , but what about the colony? Are you ready to let go of that?

The Lid has arrived We just made up 80 gallons of fresh saltwater . I figured we have roughly 140 gallons in our 120 with the refugium and all the plumbing so it should be just enough to fill the 220.6. A couple pics of the lid and a few of everything ready for water on Friday

Sand and first 40 gallons of water go in tonight. I am worried to get this Apex system going. I am not a computer guy so it makes me nervous. If you know anyone that has a great understanding of the neptune apex system please point me in the right direction . Thanks to all

 

[Stoneys'Reef]

And we are off !!

slowly but surely

 

[Stoneys'Reef]

Up N running

so sad to see the 120 all drained. She has been a great tank and will now be For Sale

Dark shot in the tank .

Added 3 tangs to the reef today and the Coral beauty went haywire. Had to shut the lights down for a while. Go to bed bad fishy ! We added a purple tang , blue hippo and yellow belly blue hippo today. The atlantic blue wasn't to bad but ole coral beauty is a B . Pics are of sand sifting stars

Tank is done for now. We have a cabinet coming in the next couple weeks and that will be a done deal. Here is a couple pics. We just got a lens for better picture taking. Maybe I will get it out later
