A thread just to show the new additions I've added into the tank. Recently I've added two hand full of really nice and rare frags into the tank.

Heres a teaser to some of the sps: a rare purple and yellow polyped encrusting montipora, a nice green with red polyps montipora and a rare purple with blue polyp encrusting montipora

Heres a teaser to some of the zoas: one of my favourites - golds/ yellows, greens and golds & also Aussie golds. Some that have names are the red sparkles, dark violet blues aren't pictured. :)

And lastly a frontal shot showing its current state with all the new stuff inside. Note two scollys have been sold to make room, my bi colour and citron have been removes from my tank also. :) enjoy guys.

looking really good jimmy...as you would say "sign me up for frags on those montis"

 

[leodb89]

if you do frag though keep me posted i will buy them off you :) will look good in my new tank

 

[Agent M]

Nice! Really like the green monti with red polyps. Thats going to look so good once it grows out

 

[leodb89]

you've done so well to have everything sit and not get toppled over, do you use ecotech glue?

 

[JimmyDang]

Yeah sure mate, as soon as it's fully outgrown the tile and onto the rocks. I'll defitenly be fragging small pieces off it.

Hey dude, yeah I'm OCD with coral placement so I stick down all the corals in a spot where I want them. I've used ecotech but I prefer much more the ocean wonders glue. Just like the viscosity of it and my frags stick better to it.

Note if you're gonna glue frags to rock. Make sure you use ocean wonders one. Looks better for one.. And it's rough in texture..so they'll stick much better to the rock work. I have the square smooth ones and they're useless to stick onto rock. Believe it or not.. The coral glue does not stick to it very well. My snails would be able to push them off.

i gotta look into that glue...i must admit havent been too thrilled with the ecotech glue i bought

 

[Aspidites]

When ya getting a bigger tank!?

Yeah I've tried nearly every cyanoacrlyte glue on the market and I've just stuck to ocean wonders.. Now. I've found ocean wonders glue mixed with oceans wodners putty. Top notch rock scape s

When ya getting a bigger tank!?

Once this tanks really grows out and matures. It's only 5 months old currently. :)

I would do wonders if I had a bigger tank. But not just yet bud.

Haha yeah when they grow out mate, what corals do you plan on stoking the elos?

 

[Sarg]

Those zoas above the starfish look pretty nice!

 

[leodb89]

Just montis and sps but those pastel coloured sps, then I'll probably get a few show piece hammers probably a gold a toxic green and maybe a blue or something

Sounds good. I might honestly skip keeping sps.. Just a couple montis. But I'm a little ceebs for the acros. I've got a blue tip and base tick acro frag. A blue tip and base frag with fluffy brown polyps.. Which has two stems on the tile and a bright yellow acro. Think I prefer the low profile of the montis better myself.. Also my green coral goby annoys the acros.

 

[Agent M]

What does 'ceebs' mean @JimmyDang , lol

 

[JimmyDang]

Out of water and in inside tank.. Not great photos but you get the idea. @leodb89

Haha my bad, ceebs means couldn't be bothered with keeping the acros. @Agent M

I'm most likely gonna sell them and probbaly just stick to keeping the montis and collect other montis.. Realised I'm not a big acro fan. Yeah that dude has some nice pieces in his tank.
