144G Half Circle Mixed Reef

Now that I think about it... As soon as you plugged in the controller it should have been running my original program that I setup.. I got a fan at home if you want it...

Yup, I figured out the program Josh but I altered it somewhat. Just thought the temp would be more constant.

wow looks great! love the aquascape

[Carmen]

Thanks Chase31!

So have made some minor changes to the aquascape. Decided to take fishytime's advice and place a bridge across the two structures. I like the look of it and it will look even nicer with CORALS all across the top! Ofcourse I will go broke filling this tank! I have ALOT of space to fill! Not complaining...since I am sure it will be full before I know it and I'll be wishing I'd gone bigger!

Looking to add some T5's to supplement the MH since I find the color too white. Tried my 6 bulb Tek and they were a really nice color but much too dim. I was sure to have nems crawling to the top with the Tek lights. Just a little too deep for the 6 bulb. Guess I have to sell it.
Still not sure about the flow in the tank, might try one more K4. I am having some real problems cleaning the curved glass. I got lazy and let some green algae accumulate on the bottom of the glass and all the "blades" just don't work on the curve. I physically cannot reach the bottom edges. My magfloat/Easyblade is a tad worn out so I hope that a replacement will do the trick or I may need to HIRE someone with really long arms to clean my glass! HA HA!




My most recent additions include a Purple Tang, a Red Scooter Dragonet and a Red Brain on Boxing Day! I have always LOVED the Purple Tangs but was hesitant to get one since they can have aggressive personalities and ofcourse are sensitive to ich. But who can resist a BOXING day sale of 40% off and a purple tang that had been at Red Coral for a couple months and was incredible and FAT! He/she adjusted immediately to the new tank and has taken to swimming with the Regal and PESTERING my Copperband (Same body shape). They should work it out though.


The Dragonet is a great little fish and is constantly out in the open and scanning the rock for pods...also eating frozen food.

Have added a couple frags of an Orange Rodactis, Purple Hairy shroom, and some of my FAVORITE Blue Zoos that I lost in the move. Thanks Fishytime.

Also did my first WaterChange on the new system. Did a 25Gallon W/C using a hose right to the bin in the laundry room. Really efficient but a little slow. Just need to invest in a stronger pump.

Some extra pics of some of my favorite corals and fish that made it through the move.









A completely browned out hairy Shroom that came with the 144G that is coloring up to a nice bright green.

Your tank looks really good. I know that you can not get a good pic of this tank as i have the same one. You really have to spend the money on a good algae magnet as the cheaper ones don't work. This is the one that i have http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/cl...ng+Magnet.html it comes with relacement pads and I have had mine for about 2 years and have yet to replace the pads.

Looks like I better save up for a good magnet scraper!
I see now what you meant about how hard it is to take a good pic of the circle tank!
