The Frag Farm Grows

Clinton — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:29:04 +0000

It’s been another busy month here at Coraltopia, we sold off some Meteor Shower Cyphaestra frags and setup some more zoa/paly frags for the next round! I thought it would be a good chance to give you guys a preview of the last month worth of growth if you haven’t caught it yet!

In other news, our we been posting pictures several times a week at our facebook page and the following is growing (find us at facebook.com/coraltopia/). You can also continue to get daily updates and shared industry knowledge by following us over at Twitter (@coraltopia)

The Cycle is Over

It’s been awhile (2 months to be precises) since I’ve added an update. However, the lack of entries is not unwarranted as I did a COMPLETELY new aquascape and added 60lbs of Fiji Pink sand! There are new images in the photos sections, a new video, and now that the cycle is finally over, a few frags have been “permanently” placed; life is starting to look good again!

Project “growth shot” in full effect!

Clinton — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 04:29:53 +0000

I’ve been playing with the idea of starting up a full blown page to post weekly growth shots to, and tonight I finally decided to sit down and make it happen!

The wife is out of the house on Monday nights, so I get some bonus fish tank time. I usually do a thorough glass cleaning, check my levels, do the dosing, take care of any other maintenance issues that need addressed. However, now that I have this fancy new iPhone it’s easier than ever to take weekly growth shots! You’ll see the link to the page up there in the navigation – other than that, not much to report for this week. Added some extra rubble to the tank to try and close up some of the dead space under the over hang. Still pondering tearing that all out and do a complete rebuild (always the case right?!) but for now I am going to let it sit and grow. I’ll be sure to post another update next, till then – happy reefing!

Growth shots via iPhone HD video

Nothing too fancy, but the iPhone 4 allows you to shoot full HD video and upload to YouTube all without leaving your phone. Finding it’s INFINITELY easier to do short vids and growth shots.

Here is a short clip from last night, enjoy!

New growth shots

The tank has been looking pretty dang good lately, so time for another round of growth shots. My raspberry prostrata is finally branching off, and I’ve got a handful of plugs of purple joker palys ready to hit the market.

Still looking to add a cleaner shrimp (the last one died some time ago) as well as a nice piece of hammer coral, in the hopes my clowns will host it. Kyle is in LA this weekend, we’ll see what he has to say about things …
