Pastey's 200DD--SPS v. 3.0

Nikon came out for a baby shower (not mine) so I snapped a few pictures of the tank.

 

Nice tank and good shots! Love the sailfin tang!

 

nice tank

 

sweet tank!
Love sleeper gobies. my LTA ate mine

 

Are sleepers the same as diamonds?
Anyway, nice shots. Love the layout. Cool tank.

 

I don't belive so. I know they both are sand sisters but my sleeper goby had a yellow head. Looks like a diamond to me. Op, tank is awesome

Been MIA thanks to a touch of illness but I was able to add some things this weekend thanks to some prescription pain killers. With the haddoni gone, I was finally able to add my wife's favorite fish: mandarin dragonet. It being the only predominant copepod hunter in the 200 that has been going for over a year with a large pod population in the refugium, I figure it has more then enough to sustain itself.



Started Kalk via top off the other day at half dose (1tsp/gallon). And just bumped it to full dose after monitoring pH. I was getting steady 7.9 at half so today will be the test if it will get up to the 8.1ish I'm hoping for. Either way, its way better than the 7.7-7.8 I was getting.

Also added some more zoa frags to the zoa rock. Some generic blues and a 3 polyp frag of sunny d's. They haven't opened all the way so no pictures yet.

 

Green Nepthea. I've got it rubberbanded to some non-used base rock. The tank it came from has some unwanted algae so I took it from the rock it was on. Waiting on it to attach so I can put it where i want.





Not sure if this is a lobo, wellso, symphillia or what so anyone feel free to chime in as to what this is exactly:





2 clams...I'm guessing Maxima but my clam knowledge is pretty low. The blue on the left opened pretty quick but the one on the right has yet to open. He said he's had them for 6-7 months but they've never really grown. I'll have to hunker down and so some reading to educate myself on clam keeping...

 

NICE tank!!

Yes thats a Welso/Trachy
