Greg's 75g

[tang daddy]

Greg, nice to see the evolution of this tank after a few months, looks like it's maturing and all the hard work payed off, no more pest slate on the rocks...
Looks great buddy!

Hi Greg - just looking through your thread - very nice set up - glad to see how well everything is coming. Well done! Regarding a new camera, obviously the Cannon is very popular - I have a new Sony A65 and am very, very impressed with it - another option to consider. Again, well done on your set up!

Thanks guys. We're enjoying it more now that we're past some of the teething pains

I'm still getting a lot of dusty algae on the glass, but other than that, it's staying very clean now

After seeing Shelley's post about her 55g I realize my new Euphyllia is sometimes called an Octospawn
The clown has looked it over a couple of times and I've decided to just let things happen for now. Hosting or not, I'm OK either way

I've had to take down the chaeto tank as I built the baffle too high and water eventually started to seep out the top between the glass and the trim
Just more proof that silicone, glass and plastic don't mix well
I'm going to try and slot the baffle and I'm not in a hurry as I don't have any chaeto right now

You should split the fuge into 2 parts, the fuge and a section for a little algae scrubber. I hear you don't need to scrape the glass as often with one as the algae is beong encouraged to grow elsewhere. Not sure if that's 100% accurate or not bit if i had room on my tank I'd install one.

Since this hobby is all about throwing money away ...

I bought some Berghias today from Bill
I tried to catch my Peppermint shrimps - to no avail

Over the next week or so I'll try to catch the shrimps, but I think I'll have to buy more Nudis

I was going to post some pics, but Photobucket is down ...

[gregzz4]

OK, Photobucket is back

Here's some shots of the Nudis heading for the rocks
Hold on to your seats folks, these pics are gonna ... ummm ... put you to sleep

An attempt to, yes

The obvious happened ...
The Peppermints got lazy. As soon as I added fish the shrimp got a free ride with all the food floating around and don't appear to need to eat the aiptasia anymore

Thanks for the thoughts Kenny

I haven't decided yet what to do with the tank
I may expand things and encorporate a scrubber .... not sure yet what I'll do

I have ideas of moving things in my office around and installing more tanks
