thanks for reviving the thread sdreefsurf.
Awesome looking tank. Curious why you are shifting from sps to lps---usually it is the other way around

Here is my "frogspawn forest" of sorts. I was rearranging my main tank (75g) so I put all my Euphyllia in a 40b that I was in the process of setting up (to raise the RBTAs seen in the background). I decided to take a pic of my hammer/frogspawn collection while they were all in one spot. There are also a couple of duncans in the pic that you can see.
My clowns that decided to host my frogspawn after 2 years (I gave up hoping that it would after 6 months).

The tank I took those pictures in has turned into mainly a display for the clones of that RBTA. (some cepitularia "blue xenia" in there too). I have cut that anemone several times and I am up to one really big half, and 6 smaller "clones." My goal is to have about 10 anemones in there that I can cut every other month for sale to the LFSs in the area. dsoz

How does one cut an anemone---I've heard that is really tricky and you can lose both in the process

Am I allowed to repost mine? It was torn down, moved locations, and set back up again all in one very looooong day !
This is the new setup:

very nice tank Michelle--I love the size of the frogspawn/hammer coral.
that substrate is sqeaky clean and white. Are you using sugar fine argonite or is it the solar flare lights. BTW did you purchase the solar flare lights in the GTO?

Actually, the frogspawn that you see in the top left corner, and towards the right of the tank, used ot be ONE HUGE PIECE ! When I was packing it up during the move, the base of it snapped in half, so now I have two big pieces. I was so mad at myself for that ! It was my prize coral ! The sand is only sqeaky clean because it's new! It's a sugar fine sand. I need to add a sandsifter star or two to keep it that way, they are on order. The solar flare was a birthday gift, custon built by my friend Scott who works with Aquatinics.

IMO I would hold off on the sandsifter star until that sand bed establishes itself with bethnic organisms----they will just eat them up and no time --not allowing for them to populate. How did you control the sand storm when you added the sugar fine--anytime I have done that I have put the sugar fine between layers of medium argonite----but I sure like the look of that bed.

Then to the bottom of the tank and slowly dump the bucket out. Easy as pie, and no big mess, you couldn't even tell that I had added sand, the water stayed clear. Mind you, it took two nights of doing it this way to cover the entire bottom with the depth that I wanted.

That's not one elegance, but 5 frags
