absolutly amazing bear.

I have spent the day buying timers and hooking up a Gyre flow system in the tank. So far I am more that completely ecstatic about the results. Im going to wait a little bit to make sure, but I will post pics to show the efect of the change.

Well I decided to try taking tank pics with the P&S again just because I still don't have a macro lens for my XTi.

The first 5 or so are messed up due to bad editing...sry about that, they looked good b4 I goofed em up...oh well

composition, exposure, etc. are all off. These are for purely to show off coral

Later in the day, after most of the pics a new blue zoa/paly/micromusa rock about the size of 2 fists was added along side a pink tipped elegance coral

There is a pic of the elegance coral at the end....I luv that coral

fishbguy · 09-18-2007, 01:06 PM

wow....*is speachless*

hacket · 09-18-2007, 01:38 PM

that's exactly the kinda stuff i wanna have someday!

Bear · 12-07-2007, 12:35 AM

Hmm....wow its been a little while. Well it will most likely be a little while before I can get some decent pics of the tank up, but here's this

All of the corals have grown like crazy! There have been a few deaths due to a sand sifting goby...the little jerk

Besides that all is good, Ive got a hot pink leather that has gotten faaar too big so the frag plugs were ordered this afternoon. The tank has also seen some new fish, lost one, but the other 2 seem to be fine. 6" Yellow tang, and a 8" Blue Hippo, a 8" powder blue was lost due to a tank wide scare when the suction cups failed on a SEIO 1100.

It has been a very long time since the last update so I'm gonna fix that right now

Due to school work the tank had been neglected over the past few months. Yesterday I pulled out buckets and got to work. Huge WC, scrubbed glass, # of frags off of the big finger leather in front, moved more stuff to the right side.

The fish in it now are:
1 Blue Hippo
1 Sailfin
1 Yellow Tang
--(the first few days with these two were scary...now their nice and friendly and have been for a few months)
2 Clarkii clowns
1 Sand Sifting Goby (if ne one knows how I can get rid of this guy without tearing apart my tank please let me know)
1 6 line wrasse
3 chromis

Every other day they are fed a mix of mysis, squid, cyclopeeze, seaweed, and formula 2 small pellets. Everyone is healthy and behaving qutie nicely. A few very nice coral additions have been made and they were all killed by the stupid sand goby.

I will try to get some pics of the tank tomorrow so that u guys can get a peek at it.

I have told a few that the tank will be coming down and as far as I know it will. Right now the house is being remodeled and when it comes to do the family room, where the tank is, it will have to be moved if not completely sold. If it comes to that I will most likely buy a whole new smaller set up for my bedroom, I'm thinking a 40g breeder with the works. I will miss the tangs and all others that wont make it, except of the goby, but hopefully things will work out and I'll be able to keep my zoos and clowns
