Biff's 90 Gallon Downgrade

[Sunshine]

If you keep getting more corals, you'll have to set that 240 back up .... lol

Nah cause winy's got an 850 so if Sarah ever went big again it would be and 851 this time around. :)

Maybe we should do a tank of the month thread.....that's the only thing I usually read on reefcentral.
I nominate Biff's tank!

 

[Bifferwine]

what size are you powerheads?

I use four K3s, plus the returns from the sump.

 

[Bifferwine]

Wow nice looking stuff you got for your tank. I was kinda hoping I would be able to post some new additions to my tank this weekend. My b-day was Friday but I didnt get anything for it. I spent a bunch of time with the kids this weekend so that was good but was hoping for something for my tank. :grumble:

Damn kids! Stealing away your tank quality time! Maybe you will get stuff next weekend?

Man, my bubble coral has looked like ASSssss ever since i put it in my new tank. Everything else looks awesome. :grumble:

I've only had the bubble for a few days. But I had one before in my 55, and then moved it to my 240. That thing was made of steel. No matter what I did to it, where I dropped it, what fell on it, it bounced back. Bubbles can't take a lot of flow. Are you sure you have yours in a gentle enough spot?

I'm going to Vegas at the end of the month, I think I'm going to have to swing out and steal some of those while you're at work!!!!!

My yard is not big enough for you to land your helicopter in. Plus, NDB has strategically placed Claymores all around our house in a last ditch effort to scare away all the weirdos that keep coming to the door when I'm home alone ;)

and what's the big purpley donut shaped coral?

That's a cabbage leather. I've had it for about 5 years. When I got it, it was a frag about the size of a quarter. It has a hole in the middle because in my 240, apparently it started growing onto another rock. I didn't realize it when I was moving stuff around, and I picked up the rock it was originally on and it ripped it in half. Luckily I realized what was going on before the whole thing ripped in half, but it left a nice hole in the middle! Since then it's just been growing outwards like a donut.

i was getting ready to raise the price because all them babies were comin in lol. i fed them plenty of mysis :)

It has even grown more babies since I got it! Believe me, I've been counting and keeping track ;)

 

[yote]

Its kinda hard to get used to seeing Biffs tank NOT having the front glass covered in coralline.:D
You've done a hell of job on that reef Biff.:D It looks awesome.

 

[Bifferwine]

Thank you everyone! I'm going to pick up a little zoa frag in a couple hours. Nothing special, but the guy is giving them away.

 

[Bifferwine]

I just got home with 6 frags that a guy named Ben gave me :mrgreen: Pictures are forthcoming.

 

[SeattleDarko]

wow...your going crazy with new stuff!

 

[dcantucson]

I bought a brittle star from Ben (Tanque Verde if it's the same Ben). He was a very nice guy. I love his zoo tank in the living room.

 

[Bifferwine]

Yeah, same Ben. His living room zoa tank has been overrun with colonial hydroids :( He is frustrated with it.

Several years ago, I gave him a frag of my xenia. I didn't keep any xenia when I tore down my 240, because it was such a plague in that tank. Guess what one of the frags he gave me included? A little piece of my xenia from 2+ years ago :D

 

[dcantucson]

That's funny. I guess what goes around comes around after all. :lol:

 

[motorcyclereefer]

Here I thought that something else was the gift that kept on giving. Apparently Xenia can be included in the same group.

 

[dcantucson]

It's like the Holiday Fruitcake.

 

[parrotchute]

It's like the Holiday Fruitcake.

hahaha!

 

[Bifferwine]

Here are the little frags that Ben gave me:

Blue clove polyps (not quite opened yet):

Random zoas/palys/xenia/mushroom/sponge:

 

[Holby_cat]

those look cool but how many more can you get in that tank ??

 

[Bifferwine]

I'll find places for them!!! :D
