My In Wall 150 Build

Lampshade · #1 06-23-2011, 03:23 AM

So it's been awhile since an update, been very busy with a 2 year old and a 1 year old in the house. Being busy has taken it's toll on the tank too, everything's doing well, just can't give it the time I'd like right now, so some minor issues around. I've been battling some apasia and hair algae, seems to be under control, just not 0 the way i'd like it.

I hadn't realized how much stuff has grown until i read through my build again and saw where stuff was at 6 months ago, I'm pretty happy about where it's at now.

Anyways, the fun part, more pics:

FTS:

So for the longest time i had a monti that was showing a bit of blue, but was facing away from the light for a long time, i aquascaped and it started to pop some colors, nice ones, i think it's a rainbow monti?:

Bad depth of field, but i like this pic:

More pics:

And an Actinic shot of mushrooms:

Short update, Been busy, but cleaned out the tank and staying clean. No Hair algae, changed flow up a bit, regular water changes, etc. Coral is growing VERY well, looking at some of the older pictures I've been shocked at how much everything's growing still.

Anyways, Here's a semi new FTS:

Very nice...how long did it take to scrape off all that coraline.

Haha, te coraline was a pain. I started it with the scraper on a stick, wow.... that was slow going. Then i got the magfloat scraper attatchment. It was as easy as cleaning the glass any other day, i have no idea why i ever used a reach scraper after using this thing, i love it.
