Final aquascaping



I'm about ready to slowly start adding some corals to the tank..anyone know a good source for zoas on-line these days?

That aquascape looks pretty cool...

Have you had much time to play around with your Apex controller? got a review for us (me) .. Is it worth the extra money of an Aquacontroller Jr/3?

I love it, I would buy it again in a heart beat, but I'll hold off on the full review until I've got the entire tank plugged into it and programed.

On a side note, a few impulse buys

I'm a big fan of the pillar on the left side, and your impulse buys! I love how this is coming together so nicely.

Thanks Catherine

Sometimes it's the impulse buys that bite you though!

I thought I would give an update on the tank although there isn't much to report.

I've done a pretty good job of leaving the tank alone and letting it do it's thing. The tank seems to be going through the same odd cycle over and over again. I get diatoms they fade, I get them again, they fade ect. I'm starting to battle a bit of H/A but so far it's managable. I haven't see much in the way of coraline growth yet. But then again I haven't been too concerned with the Calc and Alk levels so far as I don't have much in the way of coral. I did throw in a few pounds of live rock to seed all the dead rock back when I started up the tank but I'm thinking the rock I bought may have been pretty void of life, I haven't seen one pod in the tank so I might have to find another nice peice to throw in there.

I still only have the four impulse buy corals. Two are doing great the other two are brown.. lol the only fish I have in the tank are the chromis I started with.

Any update on that Apex Controller?
