All the rock is free, first come, will need to be dried, cleaned and recycled it was BRS dry rock

Ready to go even has float valve {if you dont want float valve I'll throw a patch on}

$150.00 OBO  also have a nice new ReefStar Led that would go nicely over it that I would make a real deal on all of it!

Have had the Hammer head for years, works great never had a scratch. Pad replacements come with new felt, I changed mine each time I ordered pads

I would shut the pump off the watch the drain down, when the sump gets close to being full mark water level on the returns {file mark, ect} then drill the hole just above that. Mine just makes it with the water forming a bead right at the top of the sump but I'm going to do the same just in case.

I had an entire rock wall on my 70 cube in the past, you need to cut the rocks back so it's flat, and then silicone is to the back wall. You will need to drain the tank to do so. It needs to be dry and easily accessible. If you want just a small piece for frags I'd do the suggested above and buy a magnetic one.

 

I did rock similar to this but more of a bridge with a rock below. I also cut a piece of rock flat with a tile saw then used the 2 part epoxy putty to attach it to the back wall, this is a big piece in a 250g tank on the end viewing side. Made a nice bridge for fish to swim under and have coral on top. I staged it in the garage then put it in the tank while it was filling, not sure how it would work under water but it was wet when I did it. 

I have the 50g rubbermaid tubs, let me know if you need one also 

Welcome, tank looks good! If you go with the 300 start a tank thread so we can follow along

Steve

I would like to take a look, do you have more or different kinds?

Yeah buddy, I thought for sure Spilo had this one but it looks like Kireek has over 48 polyps I can count wich is a bit more than smann, spilo, and myself. lets give it a little bit longer to see if any one else has some juiced up zoa entrees.

 

Those bright Orange centers are awesome Clark! Grow out morphs in a different system!

 

Like sasquatch said it would be nice to actually pinpoint the conditions to get desirable morphs although I really like the original star variety, never hurts to have another though.

 

And Kireek, didn't you ask what we had that made our zoas grow? I ask you what you did to get such a rampant growth?

Give us the secret.

 

 

[language filter]! those guys are definitely Killing it lol 

Good job guys and fun contest thanks again for putting this on

Steve

Great pictures KIm! nice turn out good to see everyone

Thanks Holly, I had lunch before but couldn't resist the macnut cookies, well, a few other things also

Looks good, The wiring in the stand is nice and clean looking! Rock is coming along too nice color

Still have the skimmer?

I'm going to go with 36, might be more but they are to hard to count!

I think i'll wait a few days since mine is growing 1-2 a day, sq frag plug is completely covered 

Mine works on Firefox, IE just fine, just checking you are on the Forums tab not the Homepage tab. Could it be a security setting maybe was updated a week ago?

I just went on my Samsung tablet and it works, sounds like something on your computer.

Mine works, just the screen jumping I have to click twice

Got my pics hope i'm still in! had a little tank crisis today which I have to start a thread about so the pics are a little white

Looks like 24 

Do we have until the 27th? I get home on the 24th and will get my pics in! 

Take some water up to Upscales and have them test it there before you start adding anything to the tank, I dont use my Hannah calcium checker it always test 600. You could always send in a Triton or AWT and see what they come back as.

Welcome to the forum, once you get going post some pictures!

Steve

Thanks for the pictures Kim! great meeting with a good turnout always a good meet at TPA. Thanks Garrett for hosting again, great deals and lunch to boot! 

Came home with some pieces from TPA and some trades, Thanks Robert, very nice pieces and 3 to 1 in my favor.

Steve

It sure is possible that something is deficient and that the water changes are replenishing whatever that is.  Of course water changes alone can barely keep up.  You could do a triton test when they are RTNing, and another when they are doing well.  It is an 80 dollar experiment but it mail nail down the cause.

 

Let us know what your experiments yield.

Not a bad idea, I have done two Triton water test and am happy with the test
