Will's 93 cube and 30gal frag tank

[Lilmatty5dimes]

Thanks man! I haven't had too many comments on this thread. Maybe I should have posted it in club cube for a little cube love.

The red planet was just clipped yesterday. The guy cut me a nice big frag. The other one is called Frost pop, got a few easy sps for starters. The system has only been up since Dec 1st. I have had most of these frags for 1.5 months , and I'm just starting to get some new growth. Most frags are still on the rack in the frag tank. I have just started mounting a few in the display.

No problem man. I had a 150g cube and didn't see really any comments over there. I guess it's a big hit or miss on comments or people just stalk the site. Lol there should be a ton of people down south with awesome sps tanks. I found a guy with a great tank and got some really nice pieces for $20 per frag and they weren't lil nipples. Lol

Love the filtration and the work done by Jeff at Lifereef. I am in his build list for May. Can't wait to get the system!

Jeff's stuff works great, it's designed very well. I would definitely buy from him again.

You still got that 150 cube up and running?

No when I moved into our house the tank crashed after I got sick and basically was in bed for the next 2-3 days. The guy who bought the tank is selling it now for $520 which is really tempting me to buy it back but the extra equipment I would need to buy to support it would be to much. Lol
Here's the tragedy

That sucks man. 150 gal is a nice size for a cube. All I could afford was the 93 gal with the 30 gal frag tank. 120 gals and I spent way more than I originally planned. My wife was not happy lol.

Small update
Moved the live rock to the refugium and pulled out the chaeto. The plants on the live rock were growing too big. I didn't want to glue frags to them. The refugium looks much better without that big ball of chaeto.

Also I replaced the rock that I pulled from the display. I found some rock that was more suitable for placing my sps. I almost cleared the frag tank and got most of the frags mounted in the display.

I need a few more choice pieces to put in the display. I will be ordering a few more pieces to fill in the gaps and then let them grow in before adding more.

Thanks! Its a work in progress.

Its that time again! Now that I mounted most of my frags in the display my frag tank is looking empty.
Ordered this frag pack from Adam at battlecorals!

Adam is a great dude. He has some very nice stuff and his prices are good.

Well here they are. These pics are the best I could get with my phone. The frags lost quite a bit of color on the trip down here to Florida. They will color back up in a few months just like the last order.

 

[FrankAbagnale]

Awesome frags. I'm jealous!

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

Oh man they passed my house and went to far. Thought I had the right address on there. Lol those definitely looks great. Now let see them grow.

The frags look great! they have nice PE and are in excellent health!

 

[w.gurney77]

FrankAbagnale, just hit up Adam here on the forum. He will hook you up.

 

[w.gurney77]

Lilmatty5dimes, glad they didn't stop at your house! You might try the old switch a roo!

They had great PE right away. Even better now, just need to wait for them to encrust and color back up.
I always worry about shipping these delicate corals.
