ok took some pics, but there're not the best so enjoy. every time i get ready to ordered a real camera, i end up with coral orders instead

. this week shipment coming in on Friday will contain 15 pc's SPS and 7 LPS. this tank is taking forever to stock up and besides i really need to get my calcium and kalk reactor online as these corals are depleting my calcium and alk pretty fast, almost double the dosage in the past 3 weeks since tons of corals have been added lately.

That is an amazing tank. You did one hell of a job my friend. Kudos for you.

plecosword · #**281** (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 10:02 AM

I see youve got 2 or 3 female anthias and a male, am I right?

aquasalt · #**282** (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 10:03 AM

I really like the open aquascaping! Looks like your coralline is really coming along! Thanks for the pictures!

DEWAYNE · #**283** (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 12:59 PM

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! first reef tank EVER! you have done well, I may never be able to get enough nerve to take pics of my small 110g. very, very nice setup

cbui2 · #**284** (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 01:39 PM

Jeremy0322 - thanks as i still cant believed all this was done by me

plecosword - 4 female and 1 male lyretail, had them for 4 months now

aquasalt - thanks as i had to redo scape since last one was blocking alot of areas where detritus settles. new design is much lower, more flow, and more open to grow sps. coraline is all over the place hopefully in few years corals will grow taller so i wont be able to see it

DEWAYNE - thanks it doesnt matter how big or small any system is, as long its growing and good husbandry work is performed. the display will be rewarding

DEWAYNE · #**285** (**permalink**) 03-13-2008, 08:38 PM

SO WHAT TIME IZZ DINNER, never mind, ya'll just eat, while I admire your tank, awesome setup my friend

cbui2 · #**286** (**permalink**) 03-16-2008, 01:50 AM

here are some pics i took, not so great and enjoy.
i am curious to know what this is, once in awhile they show up in my display. is there something i need to be worried about, i believed its coming from the snails. sorry bout flash

king of display for now

Jeremy0322 · #**287** (**permalink**) 03-16-2008, 03:12 AM

Looks better and better every time you take pictures of it. I do have one questions for you though. What was the piece of equipment in the first picture?

plecosword · #**288** (**permalink**) 03-16-2008, 12:45 PM

yeah, IT keeps getting better everyday! about the first pic, were you talking about the white sopts or the yellow teeth marks in shape of a coil?

Jeremy0322 · #**289** (**permalink**) 03-16-2008, 05:33 PM

The magnet holder 6200..what is that used for? It was the first picture in the new set, sorry if there was any confusion.

cbui2 · #**290** (**permalink**) 03-17-2008, 01:59 PM

thanks guys, and sorry i ddint explain it better. as i know what a magnet holder looks like as stated before buying wavebox

. on first picture right below magnet holder has some type of scribble lines left from i think snails or something

Jeremy0322 · #**291** (**permalink**) 03-17-2008, 02:48 PM

Now that we have that cleared up i think we need more pictures

cbui2 · #**292** (**permalink**) 03-17-2008, 04:06 PM

again i will wait to take some pics next week when corals shipment comes

Jay03GT · #**293** (**permalink**) 03-17-2008, 08:38 PM

are those scribbles eggs from some snails? I am so jealous of your desjardins tang, I've been looking for a nice specimen for some time.

Ganrin · #**294** (**permalink**) 03-17-2008, 08:56 PM

Yes those are snail eggs, the squiggles on the wavebox. Ive just had my snails lay a few strings of them too.
Second the love of the Desjardin, I had one 10-15 years ago that was just a totally stunning fish, kept him in a 300g rubbermaid tub that was propagation tank at the lfs I worked at when he outgrew my tank. I never was able to upgrade so eventually sold him but was my favorite fish for a long time.

so when you got the coffee table and the matching dining table for her , you did ask for the tank right?

blu23girl · #**299** (**permalink**) 03-20-2008, 09:18 PM

OOOh!! I really like the rock arch/curves that you have in the pictures! VERY nice Aquascaping work...
