nice looking tank, good job on the rock work.

Great looking tank man!

ya, the rockwork looks great ! That's usually the toughest part :)

agreed, I like the rockwork! caves, ledges layout.
Did I say I like the rockwork?

i need to thank my gf for that i have no patience lol i just get mad. it is her job she makes it look good thanks guys it took a while alot of money and time but it is in our bedroom as a wall

nice! But.. um.. why is there no Blue Tang in your tank ?!? :lol:

Diggin' that sparkly rose! :cool:

yeah no blue tangs for us the naso is the only tang for me we had a 90 gallon with a bonded pair well maybe not just two smaller ones that were never apart attached at the fin i guess lol before hence the name blue tang with the heart lol so i try to keep the bio load down as the crappy skimmer and the rose is even better in picture thanks BOB for it just imagine the brightest neon pink you can that is the colour i will try for a better picture :biggrin:

Looks good, like the skimmer by the way.

so supermarine 200 has been running since friday and all i have managed is overflow :sad::sad::sad: kinda sad as to the hype of these skimmers i hope it turns around

Patience, I will get you that info tomorrow

well i realized that the skimmer does not fair too well with the tap water got some carbon in the tank and it perked up bubble level dropped to where it should be let it tune for a few days pics to follow

this is since friday still tuning skimmer bubble level low in body and still pulling this crap out my water must be nasty

Looks great! i really like your aquascape! lots of nice tunnels caves

thanks i guess i should update it as i recently added a controller and 25+ sps frags but it is a chore with the time of year and well bad start to the new year girlfriend has blown out her knee at her soccer all star game and is looking like surgery tank may get neglected soon for a bit on a side note working on finding a calcium reactor :biggrin:

pics from dec 26

:surprise: 25 sps frags....holy cow man!...gonna have that thing stuffed in no time:biggrin:.....Looks good.....how many Bartlets(?) do you have?

they are not the Bartlett anthias there a lyretail i got 4 just cause they were the most amazing colour bright orange with purple eyes and one is transforming into a male as for sps it is doing pretty good we have lost 2 frags so far in about 2 months not bad i must say i never really liked sps when i first started but after going to calgary and seeing full tanks of it it looks amazing and yeah it is a start

so started a full zeo system already noticing a difference in water clarity and polyp extension what camera should i use i will try for pictures or my sps tomorrow :biggrin:

Love the flame hawkfish......just chillin in the background....doin what hawks do.......sit there:biggrin:
