First and last, tank pics

[wrassie86]

Well thanks to job outsourcing And it looking like a move to FL is in the very near future.I thought i would share pics at the 1 yr mark for this tank.
The tank is at the tail end of a dino outbreak so please excuse:D it was now or never for pics:D
Tank is a 120g at the 1yr mark with most corals grown from frags
Enjoy

Hey Mark
Thanks for the comment!it kills me to make this post.But thought i would share with all of the people that have helped me get this far before it comes down.
Not sure i understand what you mean?

[MiddletonMark]

Any of those Wisconsin corals?

Good luck on the move. It's hard being in this hobby + having all that trans-location ... sad to have your success [tank looks great :)] and then have to restart again.

[PUGroyale]

Looks great Rob!

Sorry to hear you may have to start it all anew :(

What'd you do to attack those Dino's? Been having my own liitle battle with them...

[ReefWreak]

Beautiful tank Rob!

Sorry to hear about moving. I know it sucks, because even with my little 24g nanocube it sucked having to move it four times a year. Hopefully you'll end up getting a better job with less hours and more $$$ because of outsourcing! Then you get to spend more time and $$$ on your new tank.

Good luck with the move and the future. FL is a very nice place, with lots of reefing opportunities, job opportunities, and great communities of reefers!

Also, if you sell any corals, and are willing to ship, I would be in the market to buy! :) They're an exquisite assortment!

My advice would be to not let them rest!give them no peace!
But what i did was drop the tank temp to 76 stopped doing water changes only what my skimmer removes (to let them burn out)
Also i changed from io to redsea pro.But baste a few times aday and catch the dinos with what ever filter you have.Also i found vodka to make them worse.

Blues have always been easy for me.its the greens that always look kinda light:rolleyes: they use to be tan intill i cranked up the light to 9 hrs now there coming in pretty good.
Ya the tank was just coming together.
Yours is looking pretty great also.




Also please peoples, this was not intended as a sale thread, no equipment will be sold (i'm to deep for to long):D the livestock is being offered localy in a all or nothing deal.so unless you want it all and will show to my house, please dont PM me for pieces at this time.
Thank You:)

This tank has always had GFO on it up till the last few months.Not sure i'd ever run it 24-7 again.my colors really started to come in after i removed it along with a nitrate reductor.
it has its place but sometimes i think it causes more problems than it solves.
Also my dinos did not start to dissapear intill i removed the phosban and stopped water changes.outta balance tank would be my best guesse.

[wrassie86]

I was wondering in my pics you can see dark red coraline agea (no its not cyno theres none anywhere:)) I was wondering if anybody else had this type also,it did not start intill i switched to Red sea pro salt.
Before i was using IO and had pink that just barly grew.

Nick, thanks for the offer i'll keep it in mind.Not really sure whats gonna happen at this point, but its looking like Tampa.
and keeping a frag of my favorite pieces would be a great thing.
