Wow, lots of good looking corals there! What lighting do you have in there?

 

[garetjax65]

Just the standard lights in the jbj quad. All the corals are doing great and even the birdnest is doing great. Very active. The trumpet coral is even eating mytis shrimp.

Good looking stuff, I like the choices you've made. That's a cool leather.
Hard to tell from the pics but the tentacles on the trumpet look like barnacle fans. I used to have a trumpet and it's tentacles looked quite different. Pretty cool either way. It's really coming along, fun to watch.

 

[QuentinB]

Wow, I thought SPS were out of the question with the quad model, but I may have to try it someday! That's great!

 

[garetjax65]

Yea all the corals doing good with the quad lights. Even the birdnest is doing real good. I'll post another good pic of it when i get a chance. The trumpet coral loves mysis shrimp. Fun watching him eat it.

Well went to the LFS to get water and pick up a brittle start and banded shrimp. Was looking at the corals there and saw a torch coral. Asked him about it and he said i could have it for $10.00 since it had a bad head on it. The rest of the heads looked good so i took a chance and got it. Here a few pic's, let me know if its was worth the $10.00.

The one pick with the bad head.

wow, that's all looking nice. And personally, I think $10 is well worth the chance, especially with all the other heads looking so well...

 

[garetjax65]

Tanks. I figure it would be a good buy.

Well i got a Pistol shrimp for the Gobie today. He went right into the hole the gobie was in and started to make it bigger for both them. I also got a Feather Duster too.
this is the pic's of the Feather and when i can will try and get a pic of the shrimp and gobie together.

I got a video of the Gobie and Pistol shrimp. Looks like they moved into a new cave near the middle of the tank so i was able to get some video of them. Its not the best but all i can get for now.

Update on the tank. All is doing great. Looks like i have snail eggs all over the side and back of the tank. Don't think i'll be able to get a good photo because there so small. Looked at them with a 4x magnifying glass. White spots with a yellow inside. Would be cool if they hatch.
Looking at either a frogspawn or hammer coral for my next purchase, but not sure what one to go with.
