Kayla's and Josh's 50g Cube.

Yes, THANKS everyone who traded and/or donated frags last night! They look great; most have excellent polyp extension already. As Josh said, we attatched them to frag plugs last night, and now it's time to watch them grow.

Thanks, Melissa. I think Josh has us covered for awhile with all those pics above ...I hope we don't crash anyone's computer. I will post more later for you, though.

I think you're referring to the green torch. The frogspawn is also green, but with pink, branching tips.

Here's a pic with the torch on the left and the frogspawn in the background in the right:


Take care,

Great looking tank!!!!

How long did it take to go from nothing to loaded?

[Melissa]

Everything looks great, guys! Thanks for all the photos, too.

How many fry have the seahorses had with each clutch? Have they been terribly difficult to raise?

[salty65gal]

nice!

wow, i thought my room was a mess when i moved in the 200....

[dme330i]

Looking good! Great attention to detail.

[Flipturn88]

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. The tank is continuing to do very well, and all of the livestock has adjusted to a new environment. I will post some more pics after I get my computer up and running again (the hardrive gave up).

Thanks, and you have no idea how much the messy room bothered me; I am a neat freak, to put it nicely, so it took much effort for me to accept the messiness, especially when Josh considers the floor as simply a huge (and rather convienient) shelf.

I will post a pick of the planted tank as soon as my computer is working again.

I had been planning the tank for months, probably since August. Although it could have been set up earlier, I waited for two important details before beginning the transfer: money and Josh's return, both of which were not easy to acquire. Without either, the tank would be in need of serious help!

Thanks again, Melissa. The horses have about 50 to 100 fry eatch batch, making for a high bioload. Provided you're willing to devote the necessary time into raising them, they aren't impossible by any means--it's just time that is the hardest requirement to meet.

More pics and info to come, everyone. Stay tuned.

It's been a few weeks since initial setup, and everything is continuing to look great. Even some growth on many corals are noticeable already. Yes, Josh is now safely back in Australia, but the time and effort he put into making this setup a reality won't be forgotten.

Here are a few update pics:

Corals...some old, some new:








To be continued...



(*an important note to any members of the Tang Police: I do not advocate any tang in any tank smaller than 4' or 100 gallons--long term. The fish was "rescued" to put it nicely, and is only 2" at the moment. /end defense)

My apologies, I must have missed your post, Curtis. Thanks! That means a lot coming from you, considering the beauty of your tank(s). Maybe someday we can swap frags--once I have frags to swap, that is.

Here are some more pics -
