About 3 years ago I had a tank with just about the same dimensions, mine was 48x18x18 and the way your tank looks I am kicking myself in the arse for giving it away.

Nice tank and I love the SPS.

thanks a bunch. there are times where i wish i went longer... mostly cause i am running out of space but i have been going zoa crazy lately. will have to update my page with pictures soon, i think its time to buy a camera lol

oh and btw... looks like our house has airborn flatworms. today was the first day i have seen my tank with my middle lights on and i have flatworms. everything has been dipped before entering the tank and nothing from josh's tank has made it into mine. sneaky little basterds they are... oh well lol

So i finally bought a camera, YA. sadly my tank ran into some problems since my previous update with pictures. my skimmer air line plugged and i thought it was working when it wasn't and sure enough, stn'ing came to bit me in the ass. my green tabling acro stn'ed all over but i was able to salvage 3 frags and my purple slimmer has been experiencing stn'ing as well. Now i have hit a horriable bump and the LPS addiction has hit and i am debating about selling most to all of my sps and creating a low flow LPS/zoa tank. So here are a few pictures with the new camera, still trying to get used to it








and just cause i love the picture, from horseshoe canyon today

so quick update on this one... turns out i am in a battle with Dinoflagellates, which explains why my snails have been dying. crap. thought it was diatom's for a bit till it started looking snotty.

got lazy in the past 3 weeks with going back to school.

Mg 1080
Ca 360
Alk 8
salinity 1.021

buying new bulbs (after i have the fixture off for 2days) starting bi-weekly 5 gal water changes again, getting the phos-ban running again (maxi-jet died somehow...), might run an internal filter to see if that helps with the situation

well gotta love being a poor ass student, well sobey's has hungry man's for sale for $3 each right now

$3? How could you do that to your tank?!

Bulk KD at Costco or cheap noodles at T&T!

Sorry to hear about the minor issues...the last pic you posted looks fantastic.
