Yes, it is a rather large frag tank. Though, these frags are growing and someday will be bigger than the fish.

I've added a few more things, so I thought I'd post some more pictures.

Nice pics, I like the pocillapora. Do you have multiple birdsnests? If so it looks like the one in the background in the 3rd pic could be fragged

how does one go around getting the recipe for Travis DIY rock!???!!
thanks....................................... that is an Fragtastic looking tank!! I am green with envy!!!!!!!!!!

The birdsnest in the third pic is the same as the one in front of the yellow tang.

It's all about perspective. That pocillapora is tiny. I got the pink birdsnest in those pictures from Ultimate Reefs in Tulsa. The birdsnest in the 2nd pic is light green with purple polyps. I got it from either reefermadness or fragglereef. I had a couple of pieces of this one break in shipping. I mounted them and they are growing nicely.

I'll get some more pics soon.

Thanks for the compliments.

Hey Steph.... Great to see your tank moving along nicely. Congrats!

richieb · #56 09/05/2007, 09:09 AM

very nice love the tank and pics

mskohl · #57 09/11/2007, 09:04 PM

Here are some more pictures. The pictures above were taken on 8/6 and these were taken today, 9/11. On some of the corals, you can see a bit of growth.

And here is my new-ish turquoise stag.

The first pic is a better representation of its color, but the second is better of the size and shape.

mskohl · #59 09/11/2007, 09:07 PM

man, I really need a tripod or something.

Look at all those goodies in the tank. You're going to have good colour when they grow out!
Nice!

I think someone needs to update their tank thread...

mskohl · #62 01/03/2008, 01:18 PM

Some bad pictures... I need a tri-pod.

Anyway, you can see some new growth.

First is a Tyree Sunset Monti frag that I bought from Dustin at the CRASE
This first pic is from October:

And here is January:

This one is from September

And here is Jan. In this pic, you also see some growth on the pink rim cap. It's Sept. pic is above.

Once again, I apologize that I cannot hold my camera still.

I wish this toadstool had been fully extended when I was taking pictures.

From Jarrod (jjmcat):

Some of Paul's birdsnest and some bright zoas from Dustin, and in the front there is the German green with purple polyps - though it is completely out of focus.

Blurry table acro from Roman. It's starting to branch.

My crazy green with purple polyp birdsnest. I frequently break branches off, so I have some frags growing out.

This really was a nice surprise. When I bought it, it was all green. Now, it has a green base that changes to blue and then reddish and the new growth is baby blue. Unfortunately, my camera decided to focus on the clownfish.

pink milli that is starting to darken:

a really pretty tort - blue/purple with green polyps

a deep water acro that I got from Dustin

mskohl · #65 01/03/2008, 01:50 PM

last batch of pics

captbunzo · #66 01/03/2008, 06:53 PM

Wow, steph... That rockwork is some of the best I have seen!!! Looking spectacular!

mskohl · #67 01/03/2008, 07:39 PM

Thanks, Paul.

I wish I had some camera skills.

Also, I'd like to be rid of these diatoms and cyano. I'm going to start with some heavy water changes and see where that gets me. I'll probably add some more critters to my clean up crew as well.

sadsak · #68 01/03/2008, 08:01 PM

Your tank is looking great. Wish you didn't live so far away,We would love to see it in person..

mskohl · #69 01/03/2008, 11:02 PM

Maybe this summer when the days are longer and the lake is warmer, we can have a cookout and boat outing for the few people willing to make the trip up.

I would love to show my tank. No one up here has an appreciation for the corals and growth. They are just as impressed with the green star polyps and xenia that are taking over the clinic tank. lol

danoreef · #70 01/04/2008, 09:21 AM

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the great work.

Okiemike · #71 01/04/2008, 09:32 AM

Things are looking very good Stephanie. Excellent job, love the rock work.

That's really frustrating to understand something and others don't, especially with the work you've obviously put into this. The rock work is great as well as the growth. Congrats.

Really like your rock work and over all a great looking tank! Hopefully you can get allot more growth out of those tyree corals i can't wait to see them all grown up.
