I'm pretty sure that's a bare bottom tank.

That still doesnt answer my question, are they growing on each other or on the sand/tank? because the rest of the tank doesnt look bare bottom me.

Flavum · 07/10/2008, 04:52 PM

you can see the sand on the sides. theyll just mat over the sand bed, makes it really easy to frag that way

Mikeeee · 07/10/2008, 07:51 PM

Pretty sure he has no sand and just starboard.

blueblue48 · 07/20/2008, 12:13 PM

WELL THATS NOT SURE ENOUGH! =] anyways thats a neat idea, do you think it would do that on aragonite too??

They will USUALLY not grow on the sand directly.

I think you were getting confused because one of the quotes had 2 tanks in the pics.

Both of those tanks are awesome, btw.

Thank you for sharing!

blueblue48 · 07/22/2008, 01:40 AM

well do you think aragonite will allow them to spread across it??? ive got that in my tank and id like to have a little mat action happen

nebraskareef · 07/22/2008, 07:38 AM

I don't think it is likely to happen. I would advise you to locate a flat shelf rock and bury it in the sand next to your colony. They will grow over that no problem, it would appear they were spreading on the sand. If you can't find one locally, check out the eco-rox at bulk reef supply (forum sponsor).

IridescentLily · 10/04/2008, 03:33 AM

Oh my...Z's N P's, I'm just in love with your tank.

You've done a stunning job.

Siscim23 · 11/01/2008, 10:34 AM

Early Septemper (when I first got them)

Early-Mid October, so about 5 weeks after I got them, and a day or two before Metal Halides were put up.

Now today, about 3 weeks after that second picture, the MHs caused them to explode.
