Resurrection! Redid the aquascape! and added a few more corals...

Looking great Antwon!! (the tank i.e. ;) hahaha)

quick question as i have gotten mixed information on this, how long have you kept scolys, and do they have a short life span in general in your experience?

I wouldn't consider scolies to have a short life span ... I personally know people that have kept them for many years! In rare occasions they can get infection(s) if something is bugging them, and/or random event of nature ... but as long as you place them correctly, and monitor to make sure nothing (other corals / inverts / sand storms) is bugging them, they're relatively easy to care for :) It is highly recommended that you feed them at least once a week ... and when you do this, you need to be careful no inverts are going to come and steal the food out of their mouth, etc.

I was going to ask the same thing! Those scolys look awesome!! Not sure if you already posted this, but how big is your tank?

Keep up the good work man! :)

Sorry for the late responses guys. Not sure why my notification is not working correctly. :shrug:
Higor - I have a 120 Tech Tank 4x2x2.

As far as the Scolys, I feed once a month directly and keep in a low flow area under T5's. They seem very happy and are always inflated.

Archit - Thanks for the kind words, waiting on the next shipment from you ;)

I'm really enjoying the tank now that I've gotten away from the whole 'frag' business... Keeping my display is work enough. Plus, I enjoy trading much better... win-win!

Wow great photography. That bird's nest is inspiring I have never seen one with such vivid color. I'm going to have to see your tank again in person in the near future. I talk to your father in law all the time about your tank and how it inspired a lot of decisions for my current tank and still does.
 
looking good ant!
Thanks Lee! You still have Acans FT? I think I'm hooked again :p

U know, I was looking back at all the posts I have ever done in BRS, and I realized u were one of the first person (if not the first! :)) I ever sold a frag to back in 2007 from my first Reef Tank... Pretty cool! ;)

That is pretty cool! I remember your tank too... The first time I saw a B/W and Orange Ocellaris and that cool Banghii Cardinal that spawned in your sump :)
Thx again!
