thanks

.
Yeah i was going to build it up a little more one the left side of the tank behind the bta. So far i have 53lbs and 40lbs of live sand about 1.6 inch bed. Making sure not to pass 2 inch for a sand bed.

ok I'm open to any suggestions for what types of coral i should get with 192W coralife and 15x turnover?

Start off with shrooms, Toadstool, etc. The hardier stuff. Also watch the anemone. They don't like new tanks or "change".

Thanks 1journeyman.
My bta looks healthier and happier since i done the change. It only took him like 10 minutes putting back after the change he was out bubblie and full. So far he eat half a shimp then spit the rest out to poop..lol. The every last pic of the bta was this morning. Find the my old threads and there should be a pic of him when i first got him after a week.

Will a few week have past and a things have change in my tank.
First my bicolor after 3 three was changed out to a flame hawk.
Second i add a plant to slow down the nirates from growing.

Third I pick this rock up at the lfs at the bottom of the tank that was cool looking. Tonight i was looking at my tank and now i'm the proud parent of some hitchhikers zoos.

. I'm so happy now because that proves to me that my tank is ready for some zoos!!!

 

[kingfish8302]

ok so i woke up to a dead flame hawk

! Its' two fins stick straight out like a cow was tipped over! On a another note i got my new bulbs and two moon lights tonight

and i order another flame hawk.

 

[kingfish8302]

ok here is what my new tank looks with the antinics on and then moon lights on.

I could just sit and watch my tank under the moon lights all night long. The wave paterns on the sand is so relaxing!
Hope you guys like them since i have not heard from anyone in a while.

[kingfish8302]

Thanks

. Yeah its starting to look good.
Last night i got my first two corals (frags). I got a shroom and a zoo. What was nice about them was that they were $5 each but on nice size lr with a lot of good hitchhickers and coraline. Plus i bougt a fire shimp since i lost mine a few years back. Took some pics last night but got side track working on my new 8 g biocube that came in last night.

. I need a ID on the shroom so i'll post the pics tonight.
My dream finally came true. A tank in every room!!!

P.S i live in a large one bed room apartment..

Cool cant wait to see more pics.

 

[kingfish8302]

You guys ask for more and you get it!!

The last pic is my red fipper crab under the rock.
I need a ID on the shroom. What you cant see on the shroom is blue dots on it.

 

[kingfish8302]

The rock with the 3 polyps of zoos i just noticed has a shroom of some kind and is the size of a penny. Pic of it tomorrow if i get a chance.

Tank is looking good. Love the aquascape!

Try some Xenia, adds some nice movement to the tank. Place it high and it shouldn't take off like a weed.
