Daves Shallow 35g

DFason · Jun 2, 2010

Some photo's for everyone. Some corals darkened up a little but for the most part I cant complain. With this weekend being the first in a while were I can relax and do some odds and ends to the tank I should have some new stuff for next week

The middle tank is going to be a mangrove/seagrass biotope. I will have a pair of Bangaii cardinals and try and breed them. I will also have a long spine urchin for the small babies. The entire tank will be lit by spotlights with different spectrum's for each macro/coral in there. This is the tank I am most excited about.

Oh yea pictures! I love this tank. I have thoughts of upgrading then downgrading then this and that, then I come home to this little guy and just cant get rid of it. I am battling this odd clear slime that is in my sump but I am not to worried about it. I plan on switching to ESV salt and adding ozone sometime. Meanwhile I have been slammed with LED builds and working on my commercial pendant. i plan on making a custom super efficient fixture for this tank ( 90 LED's running at 350mA with dual Ryujin controllers, 24"x10 "x1/2") but that is still out in the future. Anyways the corals are growing big, fish are loving life and I'm pleased to say its been two years!

Right Side : War Coral has officially taken over.

I like to call this Icy Island

PPE : I may die before these grow in to a full colony

Setosa : Best Coral Ever

Nicely done! I love those dart gobies. Do you know if they have a longer lifespan than the cleaner gobies???

Thanks guys. I have the small Do!Aqua up that you can see in the FTS. I am working on the seagrass tank now. I'll be picking up some new goodies for the tank here really soon, Ozone, new dosers, ect.

The monti is green with neon pink polyps, I used to have two HUGE pieces but ended up trading them away.

Gorgeous tank! I really love the Montipora's, definitely one of my favorite corals. Also what is the pink sps on the right rocks?

That war coral is nice. I have the same one and mine is growing on the bottom of the tank. My tank is bb and I would love to put some sand in it. But since the war coral is encrusting on the bottom glass, I can't add sand. I'm afraid I might kill it if I try scraping it off.

Any updates on your tank series? I'm still amazed at the growth you've gotten from the War Coral and the Setosa.

Thanks guys! The "pink" monti is really orange. Its Tyree Setosa and is one of my all time favorites.

You cant kill War Coral. Its a beast, I have to kill mine every water change it Kalk to keep it from killing other stuff.

CJ - I'll have some more really soon. I am working on a new shallow tank for the series.

Shallow tanks are brilliant! Great idea.

Still working on the LED unit. I will be out of town for work for 12 days but the little lady will be taking care of it. Nothing to worry about... I hope

I figured a few photos would be fun before I head out.
