Started moving rock today, so I decided to take some pics of my bigger showpiece rocks. These two arepretty large as you can tell. I can't wait to see them in the new setup.

That's the size I would like to have. Really if I had just one really large piece I would be happy. Where did you get them? How about a pictorial of the new tank progress?

The new tank is still at the shop. I was told today that their is a problem with the stand/canopy and that it isn't even on it's way (that WILL be resolved in the morning). I was hoping to have it up this weekend but it looks like that is off. What I'm doing is taking some of the nicer pieces out of the 110 "holding tank" and getting them cleaned and set up in the 75. I'm just sort of polishing them off before they go into the new set up. I will post pics soon, my camera won't unload the new images????? It worked five minutes ago, what's the deal????

Damn isn't that too much rock for a tank ? It just looks like it goes up to the waterline. Make sure you leave room for corals.

It is all going in a new 110. I am just polishing it up before it gets it's new home. All my rock has been re-curing in my old tank, so I decided to clean it up and hold it in my old 75 (going to be my new grow out) and get some more color before it hits the new tank.

That's only about half of it. I still have about 150 lbs still curing out from Ivan. Most of the ones in the pics are my nicer pieces, but I still have two that are 17"+. They just need some more time. To my surprise, I have found about 100 zoa polyps that survived the storm and a month of curing. Keep in mind that this was a VERY brutal curing process, Everything in my tanks died and it was a mess. I don't know how they made it????

Have the zoanthids opened yet? I hope they are some of the nicer ones that you sent pictures of a few months back and not just green ones.

I REALLY lucked up on a couple. I found some really hot blues (not the ones in my avatar) and I think two different reds. They have opened up alot considering they have only been in a clean tank for a day know. Their colors are faded but I know they will come back. I'm just glad I had some true blues make it!!

you know i don't know what my zoanthids problems are. I saved all of them and got them to Jenns little 26 gal tank. I've tested the water over and over again but can't seem to figure out what is wrong. My ricordia and zoanthids will not open. I have some blues similar to your avitar and then a bunch of random yellow/orange/reds with a few greens and a pink but none are opening. You might see one head open here or there. Its getting frustrating. I can't find the problem.

Have you checked for zoa nudis???They almost wiped me out once. If all your water params are good, check your lights.

The bulb was about 1 to 2 months old and there are no nudis. I had them in my tank for over a year with no problem. Its not that they are dying or disapearing. They just won't open.
