I was thinking about heading up to Dallas that day for the Texas coral fest swap they are having, but if I end up not going I will be able to lend a hand.

Looks like some sort of sponge, not sure what type. Maybe @Timfish might know what type it is?

FarmerTy's 215 gallon - No Water Changes SPS Tank
RicordeaFreak replied to FarmerTy's topic in Tank Builds
Great capture Ty. It's quite a task to catch a clear photo of wiggly little clowns, so I applaud you. -
You should bottle that stuff up and sell it, i'm sure there are some people out there who would buy it. Have you noticed the growth of the coralline affecting your cal/alk numbers? I would imagine with that much in your system that it would be up-taking a bit. I love that even the CUC shells are purple haha. The YWG and tiger pistol I originally had attracted the attention of my wife too, enough to want her to set up her own tank. Which she immediately threw some of what others would consider No-No corals like zenia and blue clove polyps since I wouldn't let her put them into my tank.

RicFreak 20g - So much room for activities!
RicordeaFreak replied to RicordeaFreak's topic in Tank Builds
That looks like a beauty, the color is impressive. You are right though, it definitely looks like a yuma. I haven't had much luck with yuma living longer than a few months for some reason. The longest i've been able to keep one so far is about 8 months or so. I have one right now thats been in my tank for about 5 months, but sadly isn't thriving like some of my Florida rics. -
RicFreak 20g - So much room for activities!
RicordeaFreak replied to RicordeaFreak's topic in Tank Builds
Thanks, they are my favorite coral hands down. I try to grab as many different colors as a I can when they pop up. Its more of a bright orange/green which might be showing up as yellow, but I bought that one from RCA a while back. The florida rics seem to be harder to come across lately. Here's the one I have that's pink. A bit of an older photo and its seemed to have lost a bit of color recently, but it was not very bright to begin with. I've seen a few online that are crazy. The one in the top left was a true yellowish color, but since it started to split its been unhappy. I wish I took a picture of it before it started splitting. I don't know if it will come back around, but I really hope so because finding yellow in florida rics seems pretty rare. -
Holy cow thats a big starfish. Great looking tank Tim.

It’s finally that time! It’s not a build, it’s an upgrade.

Your tank is looking great! -

Thanks! I really like the filefish too, picked him up from the aquadome a couple weeks ago. It's fun to watch it swim through the toadstool polyps. Hopefully it continues to play nice and not want to much on coral as it gets bigger. From what i've read about Radial Filefish they should be reef safe. -

Check it out in 4k, if it doesn't load in that setting. I pulled out the chunk of hair algae after I took the video... Wish I would have done it before, but oh well. Still working to lower my phosphates to help with the hair algae. -

Long time since an update. I guess this build title should now be renamed as I think I have maxed out this tanks space. -
Thanks Ty for being such a gracious host! Had a blast as usual, was great meeting some new people at this meeting and a BIG thank you to Mrs.FarmerTy!

Incredible photos Jolt! You have some spectacular pieces in your collection, the merlin's staff is impressive.

Will there be a moment of silence in honor of Cyphastrea face? If not i'll be boycotting this meeting. RIP Cyphastrea face.

I've been to the Texas Coral Fests before, pretty fun event. A lot of great vendors come out to TCF events so its worth the drive especially when you factor in how much shipping costs if you wanted to buy from multiple vendors. I'm definitely going to try and make it up to this one, with it being Jason Fox's birthday i'm hoping to catch a nice deal, not to mention that there will be a lot of other great vendors too. Here's the list of vendors from their Facebook post: Jason Fox Golden Basket Two Guys Corals Fraghouse Corals Stumptown Corals Reef Consortium Zoanthids/ultra Corals Unlimited Color Corals Aquatic Realm Int Select corals Reefin Coral Syndicate North American Coral Labs Brad Bessett Custom reef creations Ijam coral co Coralsellerz.com Ocean Ave The Coral Bung

I've wrapped up some special golden tickets inside of candy bars too for those who want to look for them. FarmerTy exclusive candy bars!? Hopefully they aren't nori and mysis flavored.

Thanks for the offer y'all. I actually picked up something a couple months ago, but have been procrastinating on breaking down a planted 55g I have setup as a freshwater tank. I'm finding it hard to bring myself to finally let go of fish I raised from eggs, but its necessary as I need that space to set up this new build. Agreed, I'll gladly take what could be considered a first world problem in the saltwater world.

Its getting way too full at this point. I'm having to try and shuffle things around to avoid them fighting, but things keep growing so i'm starting to run out of what little wiggle room that I have to move things around. I'm currently working on gathering more equipment and planning to set up something that will hopefully last me at least another year haha. Wish I could say i'm turning my house into a massive aquarium, but alas thats not the case. One can dream though right?

Nice upgrade! Hows that weeping willow doing that you picked up? Looking forward to see this tank as it fills out. btw, I think you have a period at the end of your youtube link thats causing it not to re-direct properly. -
Things are looking really great Jolt! Your corals are looking fantastic. Those photos of the corals you took a couple months back came out really nice too! I might need to take a trip down south to check out your setup in person.
