Dez' Tank Journal

[lastlight]

Des what were you saying about not putting your hands in the tank for GREAT SUCCESS? Lol...sounds like she looks a lot different. I'm glad I got a chance to see v1.0 and look forward to seeing the new and improved.

And about your upgrade...you have room to go half a foot wider on each side without anyone noticing I think =)

When you sell a colony that's been encrusted you gotta put your hands in Brett. I just have to start the growth over again with the new stuff that I put it. It doesn't look that different, just really empty where that huge stag was. I'm kind of sensing a little bit of regret now but the longer I waited, the harder it would be to pull it out. I want to give other corals a chance to grow it that water column.

And once again, there will be no upgrade for me as much as I'd like to

new aquascape sounds exciting, the tank is awesome Dez.

I cant wait to see it sometime.

My wife was checking out the aquarium last night and said, "Des, quick take a picture." It's not often my strawberry conchs show both their eyeballs. I bought 10 strawberry conchs when I first started the aquarium and all 10 of them are still kickin'. I like them. They are hardy and fun to watch. They don't knock corals over cause they typically stay on the sand most of the time eating detritus/leftovers.



Here is the new aquascape. I am still going through withdrawal of my blue stag and bright purple acro. Miss them, but it'll be better in the long run. Living room side:


Den side:

New Aquascaping is looking great Dez, actually prefer it over the old one. Tank looks much more open now (Although I'm sure that will change shortly )

Wow Dez...amazing tank.

Is this a zeo system? Also sorry but I've tried to find the specs in the thread....what lighting are you using.

The rusty/pink acro has orange tips from the picture. That one is something special ....

Thanks for the nice comments. Yes it is a zeo system. It is a 5 x 2 x 2 150 gallon tank. I have 3 x 250 watt halides with cheap China 14k halide bulbs, and 4 x 84 watt T5's (Giessman Actinic plus and KZ fiji purples) and 2 x 54 watt T5s (Aquascience 10K I think). Also 2 x single LED moonlights.

Thank you Kien and Cuz for the nice remarks.
