Dez' Tank Journal

[Dez]

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:

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.

You just gotta go bigger Brett , you're the one always bugging me. Have to yank colonies cause I can't go bigger, although I did trick my wife once into saying yes, but she quickly retracted her statement.
