I'm curious what you guys will be using for rock?
We have some Haitian rock that we have been holding back and cycling for quite some time now and whenever we find more we also collect that, sterilize it and get it ready for use in this system.

I apologize for the lack of updates. As you guys can imagine it has been all hands on deck over here with all the expansions. The new farm isle is up and running! Tanks are cycled and we have our first batch of test corals in there. All corals are doing amazing! I apologize for the dirty tanks they are going through the "ugly phase" lol.

And the progress never stops of course! We also received our two new 4x8 farm tanks. Plenty more to come! We are excited to get these up and running along with the others. Pictures do not truly show how big these are lol.

Our fish quarantine room/ coral fragging room is also making progress. Still work to be done, but it's getting there.

And lastly since these tanks are being worked on at our farm, just a side note. We received our new retail store tanks which are almost totally ready to rock and roll. Yes the store is expanding as well. Big things coming soon for TSA!!

Thanks for slowing down just enough to give us a peak!

Thank you for the updates.

Sort of oddball question. Have you considered swapping out your lights to the G5's? Not sure of the cost but it could be off set by selling the current. I was thinking of the spread and how maybe it may provide more coverage thus reducing total number of lights required. Then again a few threads here and there with people saying fan noise so maybe not now is time.

Oh - one last question. I was watching a few videos and forget who it was that did them of your setup. Is this tank after those showing the new rows of tanks and setup? Or in addition to I guess? I was trying to picture the time line :D

Thanks again - looks like you are all really busy which can be a good thing I think (as long as there is also family and/or other play time :) ).

How are you liking the Nyos skimmer? And what tables are you going to have displayed? We just went up to look at the 625 but you sold it! That 900 is nice though.

Also my post a couple post up got missed asking if a coral you showed off got a name yet.

And lastly since these tanks are being worked on at our farm, just a side note. We received our new retail store tanks which are almost totally ready to rock and roll. Yes the store is expanding as well. Big things coming soon for TSA!!

Did it ever get a name? What type of coral is it?

What is the specs on the new farm? Would love to see it next time I’m up there! Saw the small one next door when you first set them up.

I apologize we missed this. With all the madness I don't think we have named this piece yet lol. As far as the specs on the farm with this next phase we will be at well over 20,000 gallons and over 6,000 square feet. Of course those numbers could always grow in the future. And yeah if you are ever in the area definitely let any of the store staff know that you'd like to take a farm tour.
