Myka's 90 gallon build & 3 province move (Pics Feb 6)

They are wicked now that they are fully open!

those zoas are awesome. they look like Darth mauls almost.

i wanna see pics of how this grand sand plan turned out.

[Myka]

I went back to Bayside Corals and bought another frag of the orange Zoas so that they are a bit more noticable when I transfer them onto a rock. I will glue them on a rock together, but in the meantime I took some pics of the new frag through a magnifying glass just for you guys! (and anyone else who likes Zoas)

karazy, I was going to take a pic lastnight when the room was dark and the lights were still on, but I got a phone call, and didn't get a pic. The tank was crystal clear the morning after adding the sand. I wasn't expecting that! I will take a pic tonight.

The color is NOT altered, it has some serious fluoresce.




My Favia is in a great location for photos now too, so I managed to catch the fluoresce quite well this time! I love this coral.

Wow! Looks amazing-did you reuse all your old sand or buy all new?

[Myka]

I used all new sand, except I added that couple pounds of old sand that you put aside. I had it stored in a bucket with a heater, a powerhead, and a few snails.

I will post pics tonight once the MH turns off (they are ugly yellow bulbs and do the tank no justice!).

Karazy, I just Googled "Darth Maul Zoa", and my Zoas look exactly like them. They're selling online for $50/polyp!!

[Myka]

Well, my photos aren't very good this time, but here are some shots with the sand and the rubble zones. I set corals on top of the rubble zones, so you can't really see how it goes from 3/4-1" of sand up to 3". Hard to see in the pics. The large Finger Leathers (and their rock) have a new home on Tuesday, so pretend they aren't there!

I bought one of each color. When I chouse them I maid sure I get those who had more them one mouth. You won’t believe how fast they spread, used to sell them in a very good pries, it seems there is never enough of those!
