Alright! Now where's the pics?!

swayd · Nov 9, 2012

Oh man sorry. Lights are off but here's a couple from last week I believe :bigsmile:

It's so messy

swayd · Nov 9, 2012

Sorry I meant to say this was so messy lol

revhtree · Nov 9, 2012

Very nice and I like your aquascape!

swayd · Nov 9, 2012

Thanks guys and gals, Sorry for the picture with the old AC70 on there.
I have a bunch more frags in there now but I am lacking a good CUC. I want to wait until Thanksgiving break to order one as I work for a school district and work weekdays and wont be able to recieve any shipments during the day.

I want moar ACROS.... I should be visiting a guy in San Jose this weekend and might pick up a colony or two :xd:

Really nice setup

swayd · Nov 9, 2012

Thanks man, Any advice on this setup so far?

Davesgt · Nov 9, 2012

Not much advice here. Your light setup is sweet though!

swayd · Nov 9, 2012

Thanks man, I kinda think its actually too much light as my Sps don't seem to like being up high.

SeahorseKeeper · Nov 9, 2012

Your tank is looking great. I may have missed it, but what size is the tank?

swayd · Nov 9, 2012

Thank you!
Oh sorry I think I forgot to post it. Its a 46 Gallon bow front.

swayd · Nov 14, 2012

Ahh I just flatworm exited :croc:the crap out of my tank on Monday! I kept the lights off for a day because the coral seemed a little ****** but I turned my lights on last night and everything looked great.
I will probably do another flatworm exit dose this sunday which will be the sixth day since I first did it just to be totally safe.
:hat:
I want to go buy some coral but I hear its that time of year where all of my money is supposed to go to presents:tsk::violin:

swayd · Nov 19, 2012

Ok time for some night pics about 30 minutes after feeding.
Sorry, crappy iPad pic alert.

revhtree · Nov 19, 2012

Looks good buddy!

swayd · Dec 7, 2012

Just siphoned out about 10lbs of sand and moved a couple rocks around. I hope to eventually siphon out most of the sand without siphoning out all my snails lol.

Quick shot, everything is pretty upset from all the sand and move.

swayd · Dec 10, 2012

Big thanks to TUNZE and Revhtree for the new 6105.
Now I can get rid of the koralias yayyyyyy!

swayd · Dec 23, 2012

Quick update
Loving the new tunze 6105 that I won from the contest! I can't thank you guys enough.
I'm having some phosphate problems but will fix that soon.
Got a couple colonies and a few frags in and they seem to be doing great except for one colony that is being affected by the phosphates.

I just bid on some mr.coral auctions so wish me luck haha.
