defigart Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hey all, As some of you know my 55 got a leak and I had to tear it down before it really got set up. Today, my wife bought me a 90 gallon complete setup SW/Reef tank that has already been cycled. I am on my way to pick up as soon as I am done typing this. Pics to follow.

dsoz Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 YAY! Where did she score this find? Good luck with the new tank! (does this mean that you will want your anemone soon? I was getting attached to the little guy ) dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Finally got most of everything set up. Here is a brief list of what I know I got. Probably got more just haven't found it yet. 90 gallon tank. Stand Canopy (Will have to retrofit lights into it, previosly fishonly tank) Overflow box Sump Lids for tank LARGE Maroon Clown Lemon Peel Angel (Yes a real one) 2 green chromis About 100 pounds of sand 3 hermit crabs (probably more only saw three) 100 or so pounds of live rock Bunches of supplies like test kits, etc. And I paid about the same as a 55 would have cost at an LFS or bigbox.

defigart Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 My first new fish. I took the BIG maroon clown to Woody's today and got this cute little clown. We have named him, Krusty the Klownfish. (Yes I am a Simpson's fanatic too) Doran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Power went out while we were in the hospital. Looks like only the fish, and the frogspawn made it. But will keep hope for those that haven't disappeared yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defigart Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Tank is all "recycled" and haven't seen any measureable ammonia in a couple days. Below are some pics of what I have. 1) Frogspawn 2) I can't remember 3) Goniopora 4) Xenia 5) Unknown Can anyone help with 2 and 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicsit Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 2 is GSP (Green Star Polyps) and 5 looks like some brown paly's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Civic, #2 looks like GSP but grows in a tube instead of in a encrusting mat. Also its "feelers" look different. I just looked it up and found it again, Briareum sp. GSP is generally considered to be, Pachyclavularia sp.

Michael7979 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 #2 looks like star polyps #5 looks like button polyps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Yah, Number 2 is a pic of some gsp. The growth can sometimes be in a tube like shape. Number 4 is a pic of some brown button polyps. These also commonly called brown zoas, or brown palys. Nice looking stuff. I want to see a pic of the goniporia when it comes out. Thanks for posting the pics and keep em comin. Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thank you! very nice by the way. I find the trick to keeping Goniporia alive and healthy is all in making sure they are feed. Most people don't feed their goni's, but I have read several articles on the importance of feeding them. Some i.e. red and purple varieties for some reason seem to do far better than Green and Yellow varieties without regular feedings. Just an interesting bit of info I have come across. Thanks for the pic again, Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defigart Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well I got several new animals today from Garrett. Thanks buddy. I will post pictures of them in a few days when they are happy and settled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I cant wait to see how they look in their new home! I hope you enjoy them and you know where to find them if you ever want anymore. Thank you again for the wonderful trade. I have to rock in quarantine now and am zapping any aptasia that I see over the next week. Then it goes off to the live rock tub and some will be used for multi frag aquaculture rocks! Thanks, Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
