Flake's 90g

[Flake]

So after breaking down a 210 to move (was not moving that beast from a second story apartment) and getting back into a state of mind where I was interested in maintenance again, I cracked down and purchased a shiny new 90g. Nothing special, just standard everything, but since I usually buy used, it felt special. :still_dreaming:

Here's where we stand as of today. (considering it wasn't cycled until the beginning of July, I think I have a problem.) The one thing i've really tried to do with this tank is take it slow and only put in stuff i'm really jazzed about. I've gone with frags to get more bang for my buck with high quality corals, plus it's going to be fun to watch this tank grow!

Nice. What color is the goni? I have seen you on so many forums. You will like it here.

 

[Flake]

The goni is an electric green.

I'm a lot of places but rarely post much, not too many fit right, too much drama. Why is there drama in hobbies? oh: I will never know.

 

[Flake]

Additions!

exquisite wrasse (ich free, just playing in the sand)

Purple Psammacora, I didn't even know it came in purple!

Ye olde standard pink birdsnest, but something i've been reallywanting.

Just little things, but it makes a big difference. I also broke down my biocube today so two little harlequin shrimp are now enjoying life on the reef!

 

[skinz78]

Great looking tank! Keep the updates coming!

You'll like it here then, no drama, everyone just mesh's!

Thanks! You'll probably be sick of updates, it's new and shiny enough i'm snapping pictures constantly. I like the sound of no drama!

Look who came out to play when the lights went out!

p.s. the cc star gets to play only because i'm not sure how much capacity he has left to move

 

[skinz78]

I used to have a pair of Harlequins, very cool to watch!

 

[Flake]

I found cheap corals today! *angelic chorus*

spiral wire coral

pink zoas

I know there's a name for these....I just don't know it

Sympodium!

pavona?

sold as gobstoppers.

All in all a very cheap day, most expensive was 25$ sympodium!

 

[Flake]

Wheee new things! My order from Sexy Corals came in this morning and they're now....MOSTLY....open.

Zippers, super pretty, I can;t wait to see them open

Nightmare. Ooh Ahh.

Lovin' the magicians

The garf is probably my favorite piece in the tank right now, sooo pretty.

Man it's been forever since I updated here, time for some love. The biggest update is I added two more sol blues and a LOT more corals. It's really starting to be something i'm proud of.

 

[Henry C]

Nice tank i like the rock stack..

 

[Flake]

Thanks! I wish it was more intricate but it holds corals!

 

[skinz78]

Looking good!

 

[Flake]

Cherry Corals will be my downfall. It makes my tank look bland, and my corals are pretty nice looking. xD

My newest arrival:

 

[thewackyreefer]

Looks good. What is your cycle on the AI LED's?

 

[Flake]

They're only on 30-70-70 right now since I added two more pods. It takes a half out to get to 0-4-10, then two hours to get to 30-70-70, stays on for 5 hours, then repeat backwards.

Dendro trying its hardest to open

Mohawks

this is something i've never posted before. It was sold me as a pink mille which I find suspect but the colony was pretty and it's finally colored up!
