Udated tank Pics

[william1]

Its been a little bit since I put a few pics up so I snapped a few. First two are of the tank and some of the new LR I added.

The third is a picture of what I thought was a watermelon, That has always just a plain red chalice is actually a watermelon chalice. I recieved this piece under very bad health with just a few eyes and the skeleton showing. Picture included.

The same color as in the picture. It has never shown signs of being one until I traded a small frag of it to someone else in the club and they threw it under some MH's. Bam the colors started to show up. Funny thing is theres about 40 eyes on it.I just started to see a small amount of green on the rim as well since I started overdriving my T5's

Looking good man. Like that gigas. How do you like those coral vue power heads? Thinking of using them on my frag tank.

Actaully they move alot of water for the money. And cheap enough to just toss if there was a problem and pick a new one up.Same price as the K4 and moves I think 3200 gph I have three and one K4 and a tunze 6025. I like movement.

Thanks he has been a great addition. I had to rid him of some nasty little pyramid snail but he's doing much better.

Thanks alot it's what is left after the bad run I was having. Even though I still have elevated nitrates things seem to be a little happier. That is a Pink Tail Trigger one of the families favorites.

Lookin good William, glad you hung in there with all the problems. Others beat me to it, but that clam is huge! Pretty sweet! And the pinktail trigger, thats a pretty cool fish. I love the way their fins propel them through the water....they are very cool fish to watch swim, especially while scuba diving Thanks for sharing!

Thanks I usually dont give up that easy but I was pretty close. Thanks I have had the clam for a few years now and he's trippled in size and the trigger is 7 months new to the tank but loves the extra 90 gallons he has to swim in.

i love the rock work. how is the chalice collection coming along? I'm been going chalice crazy for the past 3 months

 

[sprayin70]

Lookin good man!

 

[william1]

Its finally feeling like its coming along. The new skimmer is working great and all in all looks good. I have lost two fish in the last month or so. I think becuase I limited the feedings becuase of the nitrate problem I was having.
