Finally managed a good picture of the Wowsers.

Frog spawn and pink/purple tip hammer. Both seem pretty happy where they are so now I've got just about all corals I have in their permanent spots.

Did you get your euphylias online? Or locals?
I just lost a torch because it was injured in shipping, and I guess that's pretty common |

Torch I got from a local shop. Hammer and frogspawn I got from the swap.

Thanks! I'm very happy with the size. Should keep me busy for a few years before upgrading. Though the wife saw some seahorses at the swap we went to so may be building a seahorse tank soon. Haha who knows.

Thanks! Hair algae continues to recede. Barely any in the tank right now. Few areas on the rocks still. But not bad at all. Coral overall doing pretty well. My Yuma isn't but everything else is. Utter chaos showing at least 3 new polyps coming in and the blasto babies are growing nicely. Torch is at least 6, maybe 7 heads and both hammer heads are currently splitting.

Any ideas what's up with this Yuma? It certainly doesn't look happy

Well it looked pretty bleached. Found a hole in my rocks it fits into and tucked it down in there. Hopefully that works. It certainly isn't as colorful as when I got it.

I have read that Yuma can be a bit trickier to keep than florida, and some die for no reason at all, while others of the same species thrive right next to it.

Yea I knew it was going to be tricky. I hadn't planned on getting one but it caught my eye at the swap. It was from someone's tank, not wild harvested so figured I'd give it a shot. Not giving up on it yet either.

Well the fact that it wasn't wild harvested definitely works in your favor. Remember, low flow, low light, That's where the Yuma is right.

Amazing how fast this frag is growing. Side by side shots taken 1 week apart.

Good choice. The colors are fantastic, the pictures really don't do it justice here. Went into the swap with no plans on buying that particularly, but the price was too good to pass up. 4 polyps and its sprouting 4-6 more already. Where the rasta has maybe 2 and the Wowser just is showing its first new polyp growth.

Dang gina. Those are like the most sought after paly/zoa in the market. Good find.

I don't give this zoa enough love here haha. First frag I bought, and it has completely covered the small rock it came on. It's taken some abuse too, and just keeps growing. Soon will be on the rock I've attached the frag too.

Those are beautiful. Love the longer tentacles on it. Gives it some amazing movement I bet

My 65 Gallon build
Ha, not really too much movement. The Euphyllia are better for that.
Got a delivery from Vivid this morning! Packed very well. First time buying something without seeing it first and can't complain so far. Peppermint shrimp is already hiding somewhere in the tank. For corals I got: Duncan, pink birdsnest, GSP, and a neon green toadstool. Fish in QT now are: Starry Blenny, Yellow Watchman Goby, purple firefish and royal gramma. Only a couple good pics of them so far.

Nice tank! I too run a 65 with a PF-800 overflow. I have a 20 tall sump and I keep my return pump in a chamber that will empty into the tank and run dry before overflowing the tank if the siphon fails and the overflow is set up with the water level where my sump wont overflow if the return fails. If you dont have a chamber for the return that would quickly drain if it fails, you can build a stand out of pvc and egg crate to raise your return pump.

Thanks! Yea as it stands, I have a feeling that the return chamber in my sump will empty before the tank overflows. I lowered the overflow box to give a decent amount of room for the tank to fill up.
