Thanks,

Yeah it took a lot of work. Hindsight is 20/20 with a few things and if we ever move I'll build a new tank. Overall I'm happy with the end product.

Great looking tank.

Here's a few growth pics...

Birdsnest frag, Pic taken Sept 2007 (I moved it after those hairy mushrooms stung and killed a branch).



Here is a pic taken July 2008,



Red zoos (I bought these on a trip to Edmonton and then got snowed in in Red Deer, other than some of the colony dieing it's the only thing that survived). Pic taken Sept 2007,



Here is a pic taken Sept 2008,



Here is some yellow digi. Pic taken Aug 2007,



And a pic taken Aug 2008 (it's more greenish now),



Here is an orange monti cap frag. Pic taken Sept 2007,



Here is a pic taken Sept 2008,



And a recent 'top down' shot,



PS my camera and picture taking skills aren't all that good.

nice growth shots!!

I picked up 3 LumenMax elite reflectors and installed them in December. The light throughout the tank is much better now.






I also picked up a PFO dual ballast and I'm getting new bulbs this weekend .

Love those growth shots Mike!! That top down of the orange monticap is really nice!

[MikeP]

Yeah, caps look nice from the top eh? I should have placed it closer to the bottom of the tank - oh well.

You have had some great growth! All in 10-12 months too! Great job.

I don't know if I missed it somewhere but what are you doing for calcium/alk? What do you dose or what is your maintenance schedule like?
