In too deep, 800 gallon experiment build

[CBonito]

Wow, this is pretty nice.

 

[Widdlyscudds]

I like where this is going

 

[ChristinasCoralCabin]

Oh I wish I could have a tank like that right now.
I'm trying so hard to be able to. But it just keeps getting delayed and delayed.
I think I might by the summer but who knows.
And u just love your tank.

Do you have any tourches in that?

Yes, several. I don't like Euphyllia but everyone else here does so I put a few in when I saw a nice color.

They look so small in there!

yes, with the other coral colonies being massive, a torch head gets lost in there

My biggest tpurch would probobly be tiny in there.

They don't grow super fast in there and most the time don't thrive. I lost half of the ones I put in there. Corals from Australia do amazing in my tanks (many gold torches) but it's hit or miss with anything other than that. My best guess is my water is naturally similar to whatever it's like out in that area. My gonipora grows faster than my gsp. Super weird

I upgraded my protein skimmer to this monster.

When your skimmer used to be part of the NASA launch program

Hey Christina, do you remember this? You sent it as a 5 polyp frag, almost a year ago now.

 

[HiggsUSA]

This is awesome! I can't even imagine doing something like this.

 

[ChristinasCoralCabin]

Hey Christina, do you remember this? You sent it as a 5 polyp frag, almost a year ago now.

I remember! I love those, they grow so well. Looks like it grew a new Polyp every week lol.

 

[Mhamilton0911]

Here's the other 2 types you sent, for comparison. The purple ones are slow growers!

I really love these teal ones. Such an awesome shade.

Seems photoshopped to saturate the colors. When it arrives looks nothing like the picture, of course. That's how they get you.

*seems poorly photoshopped

What is exactly the “experiment” part? This seems very permanent lol

 

[ChristinasCoralCabin]

What is exactly the “experiment” part? This seems very permanent lol

I've not build anything this deep or large before other than a koi pond. So I build the whole set up as if it was for koi then keep adjusting as I see what needs to be different. I've been lucky that most has done well but I still had to make major changes several times

*seems poorly photoshopped

Nope. The little girl who drew the picture used those colors and we just took a photo with my phone to use it on the site.

AHHHHH!! MY FISH HAD BABIES! I added an arch and acros recently. Was I was adding more frags 4 baby cardinal fish came up to me!!

 

[ChristinasCoralCabin]

Here they are. I put them in a better area to grow up without large fish who might eat them.
