Just saw the tank today, and it looked awesome! I wasn't a huge chalice fan until i saw his tank, can't wait to see some pics up here.
Thanks again by the way for the corals, i'll be pushing pictures up tomorrow (figured I would give them a day to get themselves worked out before I started the thread) |

I really like the new rock! Was it Texas Holey rock before? The new stuff looks way better. I can't wait to get those corals from you!

Thanks Jackie. The rock is Marco key largo. Here's some more eye candy.
 My favorite coral!! Don't know what it is. Slow grower.
 Iceage granulosa
 lots of coraline growing!

| Jeff, you mind taking a picture of your equipment setup. |
Posted By: bugzme
Date Posted: July 29 2010 at 6:24pm

That's kind of hard to do. I can take a pic but it won't show much. I just run a normal refugium and I dose everything right now.
Have a g-3 skimmer running wet. Filter sock changed every other day, Carbon.
Next week I will be running a kalk reactor (thanks tcfab), bubble-magus doser, and for sure the ecobak reactor (can't seem to finish this)  Nice colors huh? getting better with camera also! ------------- Jeff 125 tank 50 gallon sump T-5 lighting Rum drinker, Carbon User I KNOW ROCKS THAT ARE YOUNGER THEN ME!!

Looking good Jeff! Looks like you have a lot more real-estate by getting rid of the star polyps. Did the new rock affect anything in your tank?

No not at all. I'm loving having the extra real-estate. Got 4 new corals coming in tomorrow! Hoping the Iceage Granulosa is in the right spot and it will grow like crazy. Will be wanting the 30k and purple hyisent from you soon ------------- Jeff 125 tank 50 gallon sump T-5 lighting Rum drinker, Carbon User I KNOW ROCKS THAT ARE YOUNGER THEN ME!! I AM A Realist!

No it is a really good looking tank, you have some amazing coral growth since I have been there last. It does look a lot better now that all those gsp are out and the new rock is in and your corals are filling in. All you have to do is frag some items up for me.

The tank looks better now. I'd say it now has the potential to keep new fish alive. And thanks for the bugs, bacteria and algae.
