Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures . The corals and tank in general look a lot better in person.

beautiful.
love the video.

 

[blueram]

well, the video's quality is not the best but you get an idea of what the tank looks like. This is my first SW tank and I can't stop staring at it all day long.....
I have a FW 20 gallon long that am going to turn into SW within the next few months. Since I set up this SW tank, my FW tank is boring. I think that SW fish have a lot more personality than FW and the corals look amazing .
cheers

 

[fish1031]

that is so true.
fw is just not as fun or as expensive lol.
You have done a great job with your first tank.
I'm impressed.

 

[blueram]

Thanks for all the positive feedback I agree with you(fish1031) that SW is a lot more expensive than FW. I have spent soooo much money on this SW tank that I don't want to keep track of the amount anymore. But I know it is close to $2000dlls. Fish, Corals, invertebrates, Kits tests, food, salt......the list is endless...oh well, I have to spend my money somewhere and since I don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs and rarely go out to clubs or bars am happy to spend my money on fish.
cheers

 

[fish1031]

its true. a good positve and healthy way to spend your money. Wait until you want a bigger tank... like a 150-200gallon lol... Very Expensive!

I think your tank is awesome and in fact I really got inspired when I saw your tank for the first time. I hope someday mine looks as nice as yours.

The tank is fairly young and it has only been set up for 8 weeks. I will be adding more corals and one or two more fish. Sorry for the crappy pics, I guess I could have used a tripod to get better pics but I was a bit lazy :happyfish .
cheers

I bought my Yellow Watchman Goby and Bicolor Blenny at the same time and at first they did not eat anything. They both went behind the same rock and rarely came out during the first few days. I was worried that they would starve and die but after 4 or 5 days they started eating.
Sometimes it takes a few days for some fish to start eating, so don't worry too much, give them a few days to adjust to their new home and am sure they will start eating.
You should get a Bicolor Blenny, they are so much fun to watch. He is actually my favourite fish.....

cheers

Thanks for your positive comments.... :cheer: I am really enjoying this SW tank. I did a lot of research for a couple of months before seting up this tank and it is paying off.
cheers
