OMG how come it is so nice and clean.

I skimmed through your journal, great set up!

Hi Jake

The tanks look fantastic.

It looks like the Corky Finger worked out well.

Tom R

Thanks Tom! Coming from you that means a lot. The seahorses love the corky finger.

Thanks! I think we may have met last year at my old place in Kits?

I work pretty hard to keep it clean. I do a 10 gallon water change and clean the back wall weekly. A sand sifting sea star keeps the sand bed white.

Thanks! I have really enjoyed this tank and would recommend a softy/seagrass tank to anyone.

Beautiful tank and great pics.
Good job and very well done.

It has been a long time since I updated this thread. Since the last update, I have moved, so the tank changed a lot.

Before the move:

A few months after the move:

The "new" tank needs to grow in a bit before it gets to where my last one was. The only loss of the move was the Halymenia sp. macro algae... one day without light and it died. It may also have been due to nutrient shock (being placed suddenly in a nutrient poor, unestablished tank).

The seagrass has rebounded well, and all of the corals were pretty much unaffected by the move.

Need to add a cover with the new fish (plus I have a cat...). I had this custom made, but unfortunately within days it started warping and is now pretty ugly. If anyone knows how to fix this sort of issue I'm all ears!

This probably hasn't helped with the problem...

Hahah just turn it up side down and let the cat do all the work to reshape it! haha

Is it made out of acrylic or lexan/plexi glass? I had one for a tank that i made from lexan and the heat from the lights warped it and they were about 2 feet off the tank

The tank looks awesome though! keep the pictures coming!

Jake,

Got some red Halimenia here for you.

Anthony

Ha Jake

Your tank is looking better every time I see it.

I love the seahorses

Tom R

Thanks Anthony, I will have to come by in the new year!

Thanks Tom! Hope everything is going well with your beautiful tanks.
