2.5 gallons of greatness
This tank started as my 2012 nano contest tank. I really love this tank so I've kept it going. Here's a link to the contest journal thread if you want to look back and see the beginning's of this set up. It went from a maxi mini anemone tank to a reef tank :biggrin:
http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=89848 The light I was using was an ok light but the coral colours didn't pop like they should of so I upgraded to a halo par 38 led light from fragbox and I am very happy with the upgrade. I also changed a few of the corals around, and thanks to the new light the red/brown monti at the top of the tank has now turned into a superman monti :mrgreen: Before pic with old lights http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps839a32b7.jpg pic taken right after setting up new light http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...psfaaa1627.jpg Pic taken today with new lights http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps54d2df9c.jpg Closer up pic's top half of tank http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps9032358e.jpg bottom half of tank http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...psdf13a49f.jpg Pic of tank and new light http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps3c38d034.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps53e21008.jpg |

I should add that the contents of this 2.5g tank are; a Barnacle blenny, blue spot anemone shrimp, porcelain/anemone crab, pom pom crab, scarlet hermit crab, nassarius snail and a trochus snail. I have mostly zoas, a neon green candy cane coral, superman monti, bleeding apple scoly, 2 fancy mushrooms and a ricordia.
Doug took a bunch of pic's after I got the new light so enjoy http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps47d47bab.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa990b367.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps0bc9cbd1.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps7b462fa9.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...pscd8509ca.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...psa63952cb.jpg |

You are well overstocked and should give away those corals before any harm is done :razz:
And your pico is awesome! :D |

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps06b7671a.jpg this is a close up Doug got of them when the new light was first put up, as you can see they are brighter now. FYI I love my par38 :mrgreen: http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...pseb2dfb0f.jpg Those are super awesome red/orange with a purple ring in the centre (I have no idea what they're called but I could come up with a cool name if you'd like) zoas :lol: and yes those are rasta's which are finally looking like rasta's under the better lights. |
The rasta's went from this
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps92ff3abd.jpg to this http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...ps44164284.jpg I had actually thought that they weren't rasta's and that a mistake had been made, crazy what a difference a light can make. Although I think they still have some colouring up to do, but they're getting there and they've come a long way in a month. http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/imag...27bcb415fc.jpg |
