New Additions

And I actually have a few polyps of that particular one growing in the 400g.

I've gradually been putting together the frag tank over the past month or so. It's finally online. I love its look, and how it is tied into the 400g reef.

It's a cute little thing, 22" x 13" x 8" with a 1" Durso drain in a 5" x 5" corner overflow. The locline feeding into the frag tank is adorable, I've never seen such tiny locline before. It's got a 1/4" outlet. The tank holds just under 10g of water.

It didn't take me long ...

Over the weekend, I had a quick trip to Fort Myers Florida to speak to the SWFMAS club. They coupled the talks with a big frag swap, and I got a little crazy. I came home with two types of Macro Algae, about a dozen SPS, a dozen ricordias, and a giant Gorgonian. Here are all the pictures.

They were put in quarantine for about 20 hours, then dipped in ReVive for 10 minutes prior to being added to my reef last night.

When I get new fish, I prefer to put them in quarantine for a duration to make sure they are healthy and well-fed. I set up my old quarantine tank on the angled tank's stand, and filled it up with reef water, a heater, a MP10, and a simple LED light on top. PVC fittings were addded to give fish a place to hide if need be.

Keeping the tank at 78F is easier this time, because the tank is lower in the room. The previous one would get hotter due to warmer air up high.

The new frags have been treated with Interceptor for more than 12 hours, then dipped in a ReVive solution for 10 minutes prior to being added to my tank. I don't want to introduce any pests.
