My tank, in various configurations and a couple crashes, has been set up since Feb 2004.

Wow. Doesn't seem like it's been that long!!

The frag is in my tank, thanks for picking it up for me Barb!  Do you want us to update this thread about each frag or will there be another thread for that?

Okay great.  I noticed you didn't add my tank specs, they were on the 2nd page, copied here to make it easier.


tank size.   20gallon
Set up march 2012
Light fixture, schedule of light.   2xfull spectrum led fixtures. On from 9 am until 5.30 pm. 
Salt mix.    reef crystals
Ca.  420
Alk.  9 dkh
Phosphate. 0
Nitrate level.  0
Dosing     I dose alk once per day, 3ml
               I dose ca once per day. 3 ml
temperature of water.  78
type of filtration.   Live rock.  My setup is similar to a bio cube, so aio, I have carbon and gfo in a bag in the back chamber and I change it out once a month.   I also use filter floss. 
Mixed reef, lps, sps & softies


When I transfer tanks I will be sure to update the changes, not much should change except water volume.

Yes I know. There's too many to treat with chemicals but I have a plan to get rid of them when I upgrade to my new tank.  They like to photobomb and make my tank look bad.

That looks great, thanks for sharing the picture. I am heading down sometime this week to pick up for Paul and I, if anyone else needs a pickup let me know. Looking forward to seeing this shop, this will be a first time for me.

My stupid red leg hermit managed to pop my polyp off the plug, luckily I found I and glued it back down. 

How's everyone else's doing? 

Should we maybe aim to give progress reports at the start of each month?

Not being mean but haha. Mine came off also. It took me several hours to find and put it back on. If it was easy it would not be any fun. If anyone else has mishaps along the way, let us hear about them.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.  Mine was easy to fine, I saw the stupid hermit do it and could reach the polyp easily.  I moved it to my frag rack where the hermit can't get at it.  Won't stop the damn turbo snail though :)

Bucknutz & mine came off as well. Fortunately I was able to catch and reglue. Mine opened last night for the first time and today as well. Just a tiny bit. It is a really sweet looking zoa and I have never seen any like it before. Deepwater are really tough, it is going to be a challenging contest.

Off again, no where to be found. I may be the first one out of the competition, but I will keep searching for it.

No actually I'm the first one out mine died before I could pick it up from the person who got it for me.
