![]() Nice colors... you got some really nice corals. My blue throat took about a week to warmup to me... but definately my fav. fish. You forgot some full tank shot and full room shots.

![]() I am with you on that one. I had some growing around some zoa's and they were suffocating them. I was lucky and was able to take the rock out so i could scrub it and bath the clove polyps in vinegar with a syringe

Here are some more photos I took last night, including some FTS. My killer coral, I have lost at least 2 and 1/2 nice frags because I will have not secured a coral properly and they fall into this acan. It certainly doesn't play nice. ![]() This was one of my first corals, that I got with two heads on it. I am constantly pruning it as it grows like crazy. ![]() ![]() I like T5 shots reflecting off of the water. I had a big internal debate before purchasing this fixture, it was certainly cheaper than many halide fixtures and higher end 5 fixtures and the cost was the deciding factor before purchasing it. I was warned that I would have to keep my sps right at the top if I wanted to get good colour, and that I would probably regret only getting the 6 bulbs as opposed to 8. I am pretty happy with my decision, as I was able to save my pennies and put them towards other things such as the vortec and skimmer. ![]() And some FTS's: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() Looks great!! I love the black sand. That won't be the last things that orange acan kills. I find the orange acans to be the most aggressive. i've lost many corals, lps, zoas, sps, ricordea to mine. It now lives off on its own at one end of the tank, where it can't hurt anything.

Yeah, it is probably time to move it. I put it right at the far side of my tank next to the overflow with the idea that it would be isolated from most corals. Unfortunately, it is also right bellow a pillar/overhang where pieces like to fall. |

![]() I think I used this stuff:
![]() I'm not going to lie, it was a bit of a pain getting the sand for a few different reasons. |

![]() Well, I unfortunately disassembled the tank today. My partner and I have gone separate ways, and I just can't look after the tank right at the moment. I owe a huge thanks to Spencer at Blue World Victoria, as all of my livestock is currently residing in one of his systems. This is a major stress relief, and now I can focus on other things rather than worrying if my fish tank will be ok.
The move was fast and furious, and I hope everything makes it ok. The fish looked like they were fine, whereas some of the sps looked less than pleased to have been moved. On the bright side, I will get to set up the tank again fresh and I have some ideas to make things different. Plus, I get to aquascape again...... |
