Very nice!

Quite bit of an update this one been a busy weekend so here goes

Here is a few more corals I have picked up over the weekend some are moody on the pictures and some pictures not the best but gives you the idea.

Here is a full tank shot

I was looking back and my tank has been running around 7 months here is a picture of it right at the beginning....

Quite a bit of difference in 7 months and come a long way.


Also this weekend I've had a change of direction with stock as I managed to come across one of these

A Black Tang that is being held for me until I can re-stock due to being fallow.

I have also decided to add another Juwel tang which I sadly lost with my powder blue in the latest whitespot outbreak

And the last of the tangs I'm going for is a Gem tang

That will complete my tang stocking and it's a case then of filling the gaps inbetween and these have been suggested instead of chromis which I think I will go for amd have a small shoal

ventralis anthias

So roll on Christmas when I can start getting fish back into the tank.

I'm going this time for the rarity of the fish instead of quantity and hoping to end up with a setup to be proud of

Cheers
Marty

Found a different setting on phone to take night pictures so thought it would be rude not to post some

Popped into my LFS again today and treated myself to another 2 corals

Here is a picture of the mother colony of the acan

I have also been using Reef Energy A+B and acro power and I am impressed here is a couple of pictures showing the response to it.

 

[Marty.h]

A few more new ones added only got one picture showing a new one the others still need to colour up.

Thought I would grab some different shots while I was working on the tank here is a few

One of the new pieces added today

A different view down the tank

And a normal front shot

Slowly filling up still more space yet

 

[Marty.h]

A new member of the crew has been added

 

[Marty.h]

Have added a few more corals I'm running out of space

This one is blue can't remember the name of any of them

This one is pink

This one is a yellow

This one is green

The water is a bit cloudy due to the miliput and all are moody ill get some better pictures as those pictures are shocking once they have settled and polyped up

I have a few questions. When you went fishless, how long was it for exactly? During that time, did you add any new frags, snails or CUC? Also, what kind of sand did you add when you changed it?

 

[Marty.h]

It's still currently fallow and will be for another month making it 16 weeks it total.

I have added corals but they have all been dipped. Also a few inverts but going 16 weeks should mean any nasties being left is slim to none

The sand added is reef flowers fine sand

Oh, I thought I read you added more fish?

 

[Marty.h]

No there is no fish currently in the system

 

[Marty.h]

Some better pictures of the new editions and some of the existing corals

 

[Marty.h]

Well added another 4 channel slave doser today so this is now currently what's being dose

Channel 1 Calcium

Channel 2 ALK

Channel 3 Magnesium

Channel 4 Pro coral A- Elements

Channel 5 Pro coral K+ Elements

Channel 6 Acro Power

Channel 7 Reef Flowers F & B colour mixed in one container

I would of liked to have a proper dosing container there but sadly one will not fit so have to make do with bottles but I've fitted a one way valve into the lid and there is also another up near the dosing head so removal of the lid when topping up will then not cause it to drain that section of tube.

Will have to see how much difference that now makes

 

[Marty.h]

As the fish have settled thought I would get a few better pictures

 

[Marty.h]

Managed to get this picture last night which is not often seen an arrow crab shedding.

 

[Marty.h]

Here is some pictures one showing the clown tang first

It's not spot on his fins it's sand as he been rummaging on the bottom

Here the cleaner and clowns

Mr Crab upsetting the coral as decided it was going to wander over it

The mandarin , clown tang and cleaner shrimp all in one shot

 

[Marty.h]

Sorry for posting some more pictures but Neil from my LFS now sent me some through that he took yesterday thought I would share some.

Sorry for all the pictures but easier to do them as one
