[jdkackley]

Looks like alot of bubble algae too. But nice set-up!

[Justin74]

Ya IMO too, by the time I get to it after my 55 my arms dead tired
Yup, got the bubble too. Guess I better clean up my act before I post some pics of my corals around here again!

-Justin

[jdkackley]

Keep on truckin buddy! Still looks to me!

[carman9941]

looks great

[Justin74]

Thanks, I'll be sure and post some updates next weekend, after I get all the bubbles I can out and clean the glass

-Justin

[crrichey]

Its easy to take care of the bubble algae, just put corals over them In all honesty the best way to take care of bubble algae is to cover as much of the rockwork as u can with corals that way the algae has less room to grow.

That's my philosophy This tank was inspired by the GARF tanks, and eventually will cover all the substrate and if Im lucky the back of the glass!

Justin, Could I get a list of your coral? It looks great!
Thanks,
-J

[Justin74]

Sure
Euphyllia divisia aka Frogspawns are in the middle,
Rhodactis Sp.is the big mushroom next to them
then the yellow and pink Sarcophytons aka toadstools
green Sinularia aka finger leather
green and pink Lobophytum(sp?) aka finger leather, devils hand
various zooanthids and Protopalythoa
Bubble coral (forgot name)
various Calaustrea aka candy canes
Ricordea yuma (bright orange shroom)
xenia
various Discosoma (mushrooms, blue,green, red, and mottled blue)
tan/pink kenya tree coral aka finger leather( who Eric Borneman says is actually a type of xeniid)
Sinularia Dura aka cabbage leather.
and Echinophyllia aka challice the dark red piece next to the lil green one.

Think thats it

-Justin

[jdkackley]

Nice work Justin! Keep the pics coming.

[Justin74]

Thanks, maybe I can find some time this weekend. I cut that rhodactis near the frogspawn as it was kickin its azz and anyone who came near it. Now I have 4 I dont think theyve formed mouths yet but theyre healing nicely. The thing was huge before I cut it, over 7-8" fully expanded, and that was ruffled and not stretched end to end!

[Justin74]

Took some pics last night, thought I'd update and share some more, hope you like

You wanna part with one of those? I'll pay the shipping!

[drummereef]

Beautiful tank, but I see more than softies in there.

[Justin74]

Thank you Ya, its lookin like a 50/50 split w/ softies and LPS. Just picked up 2 morphs of Ricordea yuma's, and against my original intent, could not help but pick up some beautifull Ricordea florida's too, and a beautifull pink and green hammer. I'll have to wait for my step daughter to bring her camera back so I can shoot those though
As you can see the difference in the pictures too Im sure.

jdkackley: I just offered two up on my club forum for 20$ ea, too bad your not local. I still have 1 or 2 left I can part with but shipping from California is expensive usually $50, and with the cold weather it would need to be FedEx'd. You can shoot me a pm though if it seems worth it to you though.
