First Frag Tank/Sump Build

[copperkills]

That first chalice is sick J!! Is that an orange rim too?  That one may make my LE short list

My return currently comes over the back of my tank. I will just glue a barb onto my existing plumbing.

Yea it is pretty sweet looking. Will be interesting what it ends up colour wise. It looks like a bit of an orange rim... We shall see. Here's photo of it when I first got it.

Micromussa. Anyone ever kept this before?



Another favia.

That Micromussa is awesome! i got a beauty of a piece from Darryl before. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep it alive. Not sure what to feed them. Maybe Cylopeeze or Reef Roids, etc. Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

I have been broadcast feeding reef roids and also spot feeding fauna marine ricordea food to everything new to try and plump everything up. I have had this piece for around 2 months now.

Nice! Has it been growing at all?

Hard to tell, I have had it tucked out of the way of light.

I've got a piece from Darryl too.  Started to recede in my DT, but now it's in my frag tank and looks to be rebounding quit a bit.  I'm not feeding much of anything in the frag tank except fish food.  Odd little coral to be sure.

I have read they don't like a ton of light.

yeah lemme see if I can show where I have it, it's definitely in a dim spot, which is really hard to do in my DT, even in a shady area, it's still a lot of light.

There it is in the gloom in the upper left.  Smaller than when I got it from Darryl, but now the 'eyes' have grown MUCH bigger, I think it's on the mend.  However, with its sensitivity to light, I can't see it being a big seller.  I would put it up in my top 10 "most difficult" corals.  I don't think Darryl had much luck with them either.

The colony I have is around 8" long x 4" wide x 3" high of solid micro. I definitely think you would have better luck the larger the frags.
