badxgillen Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well I might as well take a shot at getting a slot. This is my newest tank that I have setup, I am slowly moving the SPS in my bedroom tank into this much larger tank. There are a few large chalices,acans, and brains to fill in the dark areas but I would say that this tank is SPS dominant. Not the best photo but it will give you an idea of where this tank is heading. The corals look small but it is because this is a decent sized tank of 6 feet, for size reference the middle patygyra is about 10 inches accross and almost 4 inches tall. On the lest there is group of 3 different torts in front of the ORA Hyacinth nest and just to the right of that is a TECO Aussie Mint jutting infront of the Elegan Pocilipora. In the middle is a Rufus Forest that the Clown Gobies ravage all the time, underneath is about a dozen more different acros including but not limited to MM Tricolor, Uspcales Branching Red Cyphastrea, Purple Plasma, West Side Purplishous, West side Rainbow Tort, Blue Rufus, Aussie Purple Table, Ect To the right of this is some Frog Skin acro,Purple Tipped Valida, Green Slimer, blue stag, and the list goes on. And these corals are getting moved into the new tank slowly so those few barren spots are going to have a coral soon enough. Maybe since i was an early bird I can get in with the cool kids club again, or at least qualify for a position, I did say lighting in my answer if that's of any consolation. OH, And sorry for the blueish pictures, I am on my lunch break and do not have a nice camera nor time to make this all look as good as I would like it too...Don't judge me too harshly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 There are some killer tanks, wow! I am in rebuild phase, so it is probably best I pull myself from the comp at this point. Kim please remove me. Whoever wins, please save a frag for those of us with less awesome tanks down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also really wanted to get in on this too but my tank is not ready yet and I would not want this to be the first sps I added to my Fusion 20. List updated just 2 hours left to post a FTS if you would like to be in the running.

fishboys Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I AM IN. Smann or Issiac can vouch for me. Both have seen my tank and the growth in it as well as keeping and improving color. My first post was the 4th of July. So please let me know as I have just been waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer503 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Pretty sure the voting ended last week and they already picked 15 tanks on another thread!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yes sorry everyone the voting has already been done and people have been chosen. This won't be the last time for this to happen. I think a tank tour is an excellent idea danlu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexinverts Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking that the mother colony has perished or is in bad shape. I recall a thread in which Tim mentioned that he was having some trouble with his tank and was looking for someone else to hold it for him. I believe that BadXgillen has plans for an acro growout in the near future, however. Edited August 29, 2015 by Lexinverts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Everything will go as plan just been too busy with work, can some one take the colony and frag it since im still fighting with algae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe take it to cuttlefish? He could probably frag it and everyone could grab the frags there instead of having a dozen people run through your place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Sorry Tim, if I wasn't in the midst of an overhaul I'd have plenty of room and could easily do it but presently no room Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I believe that BadXgillen has plans for an acro growout in the near future, however. I don't know where you hear these things, could just be rumors. Maybe take it to cuttlefish? He could probably frag it and everyone could grab the frags there instead of having a dozen people run through your place. Jeff is a pretty good guy and has helped in that way in the past, never hurts to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Thank you everyone for being patient the colony is coloring as I was expecting, as I don't have the time to run all over town to make it happen sooner, anyway let all meet at my house this Sunday when I come back from crabing I will frag it fresh and it will be fine and we all can have a seafood fest before summer over.
