Way cool Mike... :mrgreen: Gotta love that huge one on the left... spectacular! :biggrin:

Thanks alot! Just figuring out how to show pic directly on the post! I think I have it figured out...Im slow at 3 AM!

Paul "inspector" helped me out with the aquascaping...I think we managed to make alot of gaps and caves/overhangs with 170 lbs of rock...my fishes are loving the extra space!

very nice work. love that gobie with your clam

looking good mike... I'll need to come over and wee it in person :)

Looks Great Mike. I see that Monster Leather doesn't seem as dominate in the new tank.

Great work

J

Very nice!

Looking good :cool: Also like the color of stand/canopy.

Looks great! That is one monster leather :eek:

Looks good mike... I see the armchair leather is happy :)

The toadstool is doing great. He pretty much takes up 1/3 of the tank, and the two clowns live in inside the cup of the leather! My anenome has doubled in size but I dont think these clowns know what it is! I have air coming in on one of my joints on the return...that is my project today!

I like the color of stain...but I doubted myself after the first coat, I am used to seeing Oak with a light stain...most of our wood is dark in the living room, I couldnt have them clash! Ha Ha

Forgot to ask...Where you have it mounted. Do you have lots of flow,medium or low? I am asking cause I am getting a monster like that this week.

So fill me in, I still haven't figure it out.

There is quite a bit of flow on him. I have a Tunze stream 1600gph on the opposite side of the tank 5ft away facing him, and another sream 6000 (650-1800gph) above him...it creates alot of polyp movement and sway, I find it likes the flow, but you will be able to tell if there is too much flow by the expansion of the tips of the polyps-they stay small. My toadstool forms a cup in the middle, If my flow is too low I get a build up of whatever they shed!

Go to the first post in the pictures category and it explains it step by step...The IMG portion I just type in...good luck

I bought the leather off of someone who was getting out of the addiction! I have had the toadstool for approx. 15 months and it has easily tripled in size! I though I better leave an area for him 2ftx2ft....time will tell if thats enough space! He hovers on an average of 14 inches diameter...he has reached close to 19 inches D at times!
