Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

Wow, looking very nice!  I love RBTA's, but I could never get one to stay stationary in my tank.

Thanks, I love them too. for me at least I'm finding that they won't venture onto the sand without a hold on something secure like the rock work so keeping them isolated like that is working great.
I have 7 total now and haven't had one get loose since I first tried this like 5 months ago. I'm moving them all to their own small tank one of these days so I can make some room for coral and not have to worry about those anemones tho, it's not worth the risk in the long run

Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

It does look great.  The visible wave on the top would drive me bonkers, but you sure have some movement in there.

Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

Some more pictures from today, that blue stag and the few other SPS corals i have seem to be holding their own and actually showing growth. The ORA German Blue Digi is actually turning blue, I've had it 9 days and it was browned out when i picked it up. Im hoping to start seeing some more success with sps now that im getting everything back in check and good to go.

Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

The bonsai looks INSANE under royal blues.  Just crazy purple with green.  I have a piece of that purple digi and I found that it really depends on lighting to keep the purple (it browns almost anywhere except high light area). Same with the pink millie. The meter shower needs almost shade if you have good lighting, or it bleaches right out, but once it settles in, it really takes off.  I have a piece of the true undata almost at the surface in blinding light, and it is doing exceptionally well, which is odd since I think I was told it would like less light.  You definitely got some nice pieces though, they all shine when they get established.

Re: Dukes 80G Acrylic Tank

Sweet, thanks for the advice, I really like that bonsai too, it does look insane under the blues. the blue digi has been there for a couple weeks now and has really gotten blue in the last week, you can see the difference from my last picture of it, I heard it likes a lot of light too so I figured it was a good idea to stick the rest of the digis close to it and hope for the best, I also picked up this nice bright orange Forest Fire digi but the photo was too blurry to post. In all I added 11 pieces last night.. Im glad I didn't take the wife along for the ride, she still finds it amazing that I only spend a 20$ and come home with so much free stuff.. The meteor shower I picked up at the frag swap, and its been doing great, I cut 2 frags of it a few days ago and the cut edges are already healed up and showing growth, now im just going to let it go and hopefully it covers that rock one day.

I've let a few of those digis grow together, they don't fight (at least so far), they just sort of heal together for a really cool look.
