Well, it's finally done (at least everything beside the sump). I now have the aquascaping done in my new 90, got the corals put on pegs and placed in the DT along with my limited cleaning crew. ...

After a couple weeks with the 50 gallon frag tank sitting next to my old 55, I decided that it was finally time to get moving. I borrowed a DIY fish trap from a local reefer and took a few days...
The RBTA is doing well. It actually split (finally) and both are doing well.
Get your corals from locals selling frags. We have all kinds of great people selling them pretty reasonably. Indmas.org is great if you are a member or try...
I got both tanks plumbed together into my tiny sump and waited a couple days to make sure everything looks good. It does, so today I moved a lot of my coral over. I took out everything that wasn't...
Right. You don't need mechanical filtration, it just builds up detritus and becomes a nitrate factory if you don't keep up on it. Let the system do the work. Do frequent small water changes and...
I finally finished the stands and pretty much one canopy, so I was able to move the smaller tank into the house! I've already mixed new saltwater in the 50, and it's now sitting there with some good...
There won't be a DSB in the display, that's going down in the fuge. I'm just going with 1-2" of black sand in the main tank.
INDMAS is the Indiana Marine Aquarium Society. Local clubs are one of the greatest resources in the hobby. I get many frags by trading through the club. I even got my frag tank by trading a few...
Looking good. I'm right across County Line Rd. from Greenwood so hit me up if you need help with anything. Are you a member of INDMAS?
After finding out that an extra sump I got as part of buying my 90 was cracked and didn't hold water, I decided to cut it up and use it as a baseplate after getting the fiberglass rods from Menard's....
I'm putting together my 90 and have some LR running in a bin in the garage, so I decided to try some creative aquascaping and it didn't go so well. I tried using a piece of 1.5 inch PVC as the...
Don't worry too much. Mine crawled into the sureflow modded maxi jet and shredded itself up not long after arrival. It made it, now it's grown from about 3 inches to over a foot in diameter,...
I love the Spectrum pellet. Every fish goes nuts for the stuff (with the exception of my new Banggai Cardinal) and some of my issues stopped after switching over to it. Every fish is colorful and...
Well I got the frag tank tonight. Here's a pic:

I traded 3 la laker scroll frags and 2...
And it grows again! Today a fellow INDMAS member posted up a 24x24x20 tank with internal overflow that he needs to get out of his basement, and all he wanted were frags. I got it for a piece of...
I got a great deal on a 24x24x20 rr frag tank tonight, just for a couple frags! One of them is for a purple branching monti, so I figured I'd just break off a piece and glue it to a rock for the...
Looks like this may evolve again, I am getting a 90gal for $100 and I think I'll be putting this 55 under it as a sump. I'm going to build a larger stand that can also accomodate a frag tank next to...
