Tidy looking fish room, and to my eyes at least the tank looks great. Steady on !

Hi Christy
I love the Fishroom and new Work Bench. I started to use the NP Pellets 3 weeks ago and I am also showing Cyno so keep us posted on how the Coral Snow and the MB7 works. Tom R |
Nice.
Wish I had room for a fish room. :sad: |
Your tank is incredible Christy...love the Bellus. :biggrin:

I am pretty sure it is guilty by association. :wink: Mike if my memory serves me right, it is you who asks all the Girly's if they have webcam or facebook. :razz: |
Christy the tank is looking top notch!
Love the clean look in the back room, I would feel much to "Mad Chemist" to cause any good for my reef in an environment like that :lol:. I'm contemplating setting up a dosing pump like you have going on there, would you recommend it? I just can't keep my ALK constant for some reason so my SPS growth has been minimal at best. |
Hey Christy the tank and the fish room look awesome. Just let me know if you think your clams need a rest from that nasty ole tang ;)
|
agreed the fish room looks great.....*also wishes he had a fish room*.......and that red ric (is it?) is freakin amazing!
|
Tank is looking good and the fish room looks great, hopefully you'll be able to figure out the computer stuff and fix the problem.
|
The computer probably has too much smoke in it. Mabey try lettingsome out :twised:
|
oh man... I too bow to the fish room! :hail: If only.. instead I have to resort to use the dining room which doesn't always go over well with the life partner.

LOL, we bought this house with the fishroom in mind. The realtor would always ask us "so is it fish friendly?" We probably looked at a good 20+ houses (yes I know thats not that many), some gorgeous but if it didn't have room for the tank it was a no go :razz: |

Ha! I bet that's the first "fish friendly" sale that realtor closed. I bet he went home and watched Nemo after the deal was closed. Either that or tells the other realtors over coffee about the two weird "fishy" people he sold a house to. :mrgreen: |
Wow, I'm impressed!!!! Up to a tour some time? :biggrin:
|
You have some nice things happening there. Love the fish room, you have so much ...room :) Hope your clams are being left alone. You'll have to get a good pic of the squamosa and as for the red ricordea - sweet !
|
We bought our place so I don't have to move all my tanks, but alas, no fishroom. Congrats on the new place & sweet setup there Christy. Must be nice to have a fishroom finally.

So I installed a Tunze6100 in the tank today. Decided to use my sure-grip magnet holder cuz its smaller. Its been in a drawer since I started the new tank. As I picked it up I noticed it had separated:
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8621.jpg and upon further inspection: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8620.jpg Awesomeness! Its a wonder anything grew in the old tank, except more rust. Sheesh! :rolleyes: My photography skills have deteriorated to the point where I only have two decent photos for you. Sometimes that little screen on my digicam is so deceiving. I think I've gotten the shot and then on my computer its fuzz city or the colors are off. Grr! Anyway, some neat-o sponges (yes the green slime battle rages on): http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8635.jpg The majority of this coral got nuked by the UV bulb incident. It had a couple of branches that survived and I really liked this corals growth pattern and "yellowy-ness" so I figured what the heck. There was also a pink pocillipora and purple rimmed cap attached to the same rock. The pocillipora just tucked in its polyps and weathered the UV storm while the purple rimmed cap said "see ya, buh-bye". Anyway, I'm glad I kept everyone intact as you can see the yellow acro is coming in nicely, the pink pocilipora is well, ridiculously pink and I think there is even some purple rimmed cap under there somewhere :mrgreen: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8633.jpg |
I had a couple Suregrip magnets do the same thing. Love the pinks in the picture, one of the colours I miss the most from days past.

I haven't paid much attention to the tank other than feeding and making sure the ATO has enough water in it (been woken up 2x now by the "low" alarm, why does it always go off at like 3am?!). My neglect of the tank is actually helping...well that and the phosban I am running again. The cyano is now only in a couple of patches and I'm pretty sure if I siphon it well it might disappear quicker. The green slimy crap is still hanging on, its a tenacious bugger and gives the tank a yellowy cast.
The regal tang is still going to town on the clams, he's even testing out my prized blue maxima and I am less than impressed. I can't believe how much food it takes to satisfy that fish. Its crazy. I've incorporated nori back into his diet (that was me being lazy and not feeding it) as well as 2x daily feedings of mysis (gee I wonder why I had cyano?). Poontang made me a plexiglass viewing box so I could take some overhead shots. Sadly I didn't really factor my lighting into photo taking. Even at its highest raised point it still fries the back of my head and well, leaning over the tank taking pics with an SLR trying to look in the viewer, um not the easiest, esp with 400 degrees cooking the back of your head. Here are some photos of the ones that turned out. Unfortunately the "best" corals are the highest up on the rock and didn't get photographed as I need a better lens with a shorter focal range. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8699.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8701.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8703.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8713.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8714.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8716.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8719.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8725.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8720.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8730.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8737.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8723.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8734.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8721.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...0/IMG_8735.jpg |
Looks great! Happy it went along good!

Frickin' awesome pictures. If my corals ever start to look good again you'll have to come over and take some pictures for me.
|
Photos look great! What lens are you using?

I think I'll try some pics with my extension tubes. Not sure if they'll work on the 18-55mm but its worth a try :biggrin: |
Wow Christy!!
You have some awesome looking fuzzy sticks!! |
Not to toot my own horn but....I KNOW! Isn't it awesome!!! They look much better and more colorful from overhead where the green hues from that disgusting green slime don't overshadow the corals colors.
Good news, the green slime has diminished somewhat so I think I'm finally winning the war!! :2gunfire: |
Toot away C... toot away.
I think you deserve some rewards for all the hard work you put into your reef!! |
Love that red digi!
|
Wow Christy! Corals look great. Way to go. :biggrin:
|
I love your fuzzy sicks, looking good :biggrin:
|
Tank is looking really good Christy . You have some amazing pieces as well.
Chris |
:clap2:
Very nice pics Christy. |
I had the good fortune to see the tank in person friday night ... :biggrin: ... the pictures don't do it justice!
Great thing is, I borrowed some test kits so I have an excuse to go back :dance:. |
