How about this monti, when I got it I was told it was a pokerstar and then it started getting red, and then i was told it was a wildfire I think.

I just envision the tank with some areas of nice encrusting monti's and chalices.... Imagine a 12" area with this on it!!!

I'm also trying to figure out some portable rock set ups for my zoa's which I will utilize in order to keep the zoa's from carpeting rock I don't want them too.

More Pics!!!!!

When I got it:


And Now (I hope the base gets that baby blue back!):

Another post went POOF...that coral is sweet. I have had a rough time with montis. The branching ones get dismantled by my female maroon clown and the encrusting ones get quite large and then STN.

I had a dazzling purple polyped encrusting colony that drew every visitor's attention. When it got to about 1 foot square, it started to STN. I fragged and dipped, fragged and dipped, but could only save one small piece by sending it home with Steve Weast. I have it back now but it is no where near its previous glory.

I also have a rainbow and a Tyree Sunset from Steve that are growing very well and looking superb, but I am afraid to move them!

I'd love to see them! I have no experience essentially with SPS so I'm kind of like a fish out of water. I just hope for the best and try not to do anything drastic in my tank.

I'm going to get a controller on the new tank to try and control my parameters a little better, and to be able to track them over time so I can see the influence new equipment will make on the tank.

I'd love to see them too, but I would have to clean my glass for that!

Haahaa you and your algae!

Thanks everyone, I know this is all just a big tease until I can get the tank in there and get some pictures of it in place and being pieced together but it's all I got right now haahaa.

I'm really excited to get this going, and I have 4 months off of work coming up so the tank is going to be babied.

Scott

Looking good Scott. Have you given any thought to how you would get this baby downstairs? With those dimensions it could be pretty challenging if you do not have it build on site.

Build on site. It's just whether or not We (Colby and I) build it or pay the tank manufacturer to come to stoon and build it.
