Pickupman66's 180 gal Glass box - Update for July 2013

OH yea.. Cant forget the obligatory Zoa shot.

 

Very nice growth.

I really like the Montipora Spongodes.

The new Millepora is quite nice too. I like the exaggerated corallite structure and polyps.

 

Nice adds P. Love the new acros and the growth shots also.

 

Thanks Bruh!
Picked up a pair of Firefish gobies and a lone Bi-color anthia. one of the firefish has already made the journey thru the overflows into the sump. found him in there this afternoon. the Anthia has stayed to the corner. all ate frozen but they have not taken flake.

 

How do you frag the zoa? Like a mushroom or do you have to chip the rock?

Edit:where is my brain? Nice build love the fish and corals. Sorry ok the losses and the trials will only make you a stronger reefer

 

they sorta peel off the rocks in a mat much like Green star polyps.

 

Very cool tank. Love the rock work.
I actually bought a anthia from lfs anf they said it would only eat frozen. I kinda starved him for 3 days and now he loves flakes as much and frozen. Good luck.

 

today he took in a few pieces of frozen but not going nutz over the food like the rest of the fish in the tank.

 

Last night was a Very difficult night in our house. I was forced to catch my Sohal tang and put him in the sump. he will be going to a new home tomorrow. he has become increasingly aggressive and I was afraid he was going to kill my Naso. constantly biting his tail and fins, chasing him around. bullying the other fish.

so, whats the best way to catch a 10" fish in a full reef? tiny gold hook and some of his favorite treat. took all of 20 seconds. his lip will be a bit sore for a few days but will heal.

Boss, we love you and will miss you in our tank dearly.

 

Sorry you have to do this.. I love all the fish we have, but sometimes we have to play god for their own good.. I hope you find a good home for him.
