150 Gallon Setup (Updated 10/06/12: Page 14)

Looks awesome!!! Your plating monitpora is amazing! Did you buy it that big, or has it grown in your tank?

 

Thanks for the compliments. I've had the red monti for a couple of years. It's one of the first (if not the first) SPS pieces in the 92. Began in the 92 as a small frag, 1.5" x 1.5" piece, outgrowing the 92 and having to move it to the 150. What you see pictured has actually been fragged a few times. It's approximately 10" x 12". There's two frags of it in there as well. One broke when moving it from the 92 which is approximately 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". It's one of those pieces of SPS that's somewhat like a weed. =) I recently purchased a small frag (1" round) of F&S's Green Apple to grow the green and red together.

 

Here's an update from today. Here's a few shots of the Potter's Wrasse acclimating in the 150. Quarantined so the Christmas doesn't bully him.

 

is he going to stay in there overnight and if so doesn't he need sand to sleep or cocoon himself in?? 0.o

 

that is a nice fish...and a great build ...everything looks real good.... wish I had the guts to "go big" : )

 

The Potter's Wrasse, similarly to the Halichoeres', do sleep at night in the sand. However, it isn't necessary for survival. He will remain in the acclimation box until the Christmas Wrasse no longer displays aggression.

Cirrhilabrus' cocoon.

 

Thanks! =)

 

Gorgeous!!

 

Really bright idea with the acclimation box. Mad props bro.

 

Thanks, bud. Because my Christmas wrasse is so aggressive, I purchased the largest cricket container 4-6 weeks ago and made my own acclimation box for the time being. If I hadn't, the Potter's in the 150 would be dead by now. =\
