  1. Now for some nems.... Here is one that spent 30 minuets in a filter sock....outside...in the rain....when it was 40 degrees outside.... Slipped down the overflow in the night and I didn't notice until I went to wash the sock. It was super shriveled up, freezing and just pissed off. Put it in the tank expecting it to die but a few hours later it just split(no surprise) and was just fine! Here is a picture of it splitting! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Well it is time for a very much needed update! Haven't updated since July!! I don't even know where to start! I've added an Apex to my frag tank so that I can monitor PH and temp. I also got a healthy amount of SPS so I dose BRS two part through the apex. I now have a fairly large selection of corals, but I am focusing more on SPS and Zoas. Flow has been changed slightly, I am running a Wp-25 and a RW-8 on the same side of the tank to create a gyre. I have also recently started running GFO to help combat some algae and I also run carbon to help with chemical warfare. My anemone addiction has also grown! I did have the frag tank split down the middle with corals on one side and anemones on the other but I was running out of room so over christmas break I installed a 40b and plumbed it into the frag tank. The 40b is now used as an anemone propagation tank! Ive got 3 different kinds of anemones and about 13 gems total. Im running an old Reefstar LED above the anemone tank that I got on here and fixed I think I need to get something more powerful though because my BTA don't seem to bubble as much when I take them out of the baskets and just let them roam in the tank. The anemone tank also has a mesh wall that I siliconed into the tank to hide all of the powerheads and pumps behind. The top is spiked egg crate so i doubt any nems will crawl out of the water and over the top. Fingers crossed though. Now for some pictures! Here is the only old picture of the nem tank I have! I'll post more FTS this weekend
  3. Thank you! Bigger is always better! Even with this tank I'm starting to run out of room haha. As my last post says I really need to update this thread! I've added on a 40b just for anemone propagation, gathered a ton more zoas and changed a lot of stuff! Hmmm maybe tomorrow I'll update it and and add a few pictures Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. For temp, I would recommend placing both a heater in the sump and one in the actual frag tank. That's what I do and it works great! Also gives me peace of mind that the tank will stay warm if my return pump ever dies! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. That was fast! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Very nice! I love how big those zoa colonies are! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Very true! I keep my frag tank (120 gallons total volume) in my shed and it struggled with temperature swings for a while. I installed a chiller for the summer months and that helped a ton, was able to keep the tank within half a degree fluctuations even when it was 100 degrees outside. Winter isn't so bad, I just added an extra heater and the tank does just fine Very nice build! I've always wanted to try and build a little frag tank! Look forward to seeing how it progresses Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  25. What reef related gifts did you get this year?!? I'll go first. My family got me The Blue Glow 17" Black acrylic frag rack for my frag tank! Sadly shipping was late so I don't have it yet but I can't wait to put it in my tank and to get some frags on it! It holds over 300 plugs! Not to mention how sharp it looks! So what did you guys get for your tanks?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
