Hey all,

I finally decided to start a thread for my tank. Its been running for about a year now and its been an exciting process along the way.

Well that is just stunning. Pukini rock? How hot was the tank running prior to the chiller, do you know? The Hermit and the Clove images are fantastic.

 

The rock is buna ultra live rock from liverocknreef. I've had the chiller since the tank was setup. I don't always run my a/c during the summer so I wanted to make sure the temperature stayed consistent at 78. And thanks for the compliment on the photos. I'm looking forward to posting more.

 

Does that hermit have GSP growing on him? I can't quite tell what's going on there. Otherwise, WOW freaking WOW, nice looking tank is an understatement, but very nice! I really like how the scape comes up and over and back down like that. Then all the corals that fill the top of the rock, so very cool. Very nice coral placement!

 

Hey zesty,
I think those are spinoid worms. But I'm not sure. It would be really cool if I could manage to get gsp or symposia to grow on one of their shells though.

And of course thanks so much for the compliment! The tank is coming along. It's a work in progress as all of ours are

 

All I can say is WOW!!

 

wow that rock is amazing. Great aquascape too!

 

Very nice! Keep up the nice work. You still running the fuge and DSB in the sump that I see in the first pic?

 

Thanks everyone! Rcflyer, yup I'm still running the dsb and the fuge. I swapped the fuge light out for a t5 fixture with 450nm and 670nm bulbs. I wasn't seeing much growth from the macro gro light. I have been tempted though to take some of the sand bed out and remove the fuge and start running a zeovit system.
