I miss seeing the little green mouths though , but i'll take it.

Pulled out the camera today and decided I would try shooting a few fish pics since I rarely ever take the time to get a good shot of them. Corals don't move so it's a lot easier .

Awesome tank, you've got a lot of growth. I have a RSR 250 also.

It was a fish picture kind of night.















I took a few corals pics too!

Can we get a FTS?

Can we get a FTS?

Absolutely.

 

[daelie]

Tank is still doing well, and I'm seeing more polyp extension as some acros are waking up after a long time of no growth. I almost forgot what encrusting and branching looked like on a few of them.

Added a few new things to the system over the weekend as well. Will be interesting to see how the new things grow.

Very nice!

Daelie, I see 4 fish in the FTS, is this all you want to stock?

In the tank right now I have only 2 small tangs, 2 clownfish, and a purple firefish. Wouldn't mind adding something else, but I find myself decently picky when it comes to picking out fish that I really like. Maybe a springeri damsel since they're generally supposed to be decently peaceful.

Fantastic tank! Sorry if you mentioned this somewhere, but what is your bulb combination for T5's? Also is this a hybrid?

 

[daelie]

Thanks. Not a hybrid, just running T5s. Bulb combo is 4 blue+, 2 actinic, 1 coral+, 1 purp+.

@daelie last FTS was March 18. Five months. Can we get a recent one?

Do your tangs show any aggression towards each other or other fish?

No, definitely not towards each other and I haven't seen them do much to other fish.

Removed the sand, turned up the flow a little bit, things have restarted growing since my tin dropped back to 0. I did have to cut some tips to actually see some growth, but it surely sucks that things were dormant for so long or especially the things that died. But here's a few pics, first one right before I removed the sand which was relatively recent.

Also I added a frag tank that has quickly filled up as well.

 

[daelie]

Few more pics.

So did you do some water changes to bring the tin down? Did the Tin actually cause some corals to die?
