Wow, that is truly beautiful. How long did it take you to get all the coral in place?

[gmax111]

Livestock...
Chevron tang
Emperor angel
Royal gamma
2 true perc clowns
Dwarf fuzzy lion
Green mandarin
Too many corals 2 list...
And yes my angel does not bother anything in the tank.. And i only feed him once a day along with the other fish...
any other questions just ask away...

 

[isistius]

wow. what a change. nicely done. does your angel eat your zoas? i have the same tube anemone. beautiful!

 

[gmax111]

nope.. he doesn't bother anything... He likes to steal food from the anemones.. I have that tube anemone and 2 rose bubble tips that walk all over top of my corals and everything is fine.. pretty funny..

 

[m0nk]

Very cool, bet that cost a pretty penny...hehe. I'm certainly impressed.

nice tank! so you just went and bought all the corals one day? how much did you spend that day?

 

[sk8shorty01]

Your first picture on post #2 is awesome. I love the color contrast in that shot! Great pics, keep them coming...

gorgeous set up.

 

[arandacole]

Your tank is amazing! Really beautiful. I love the pictures. What camera are you using? Also, I'd love to know the settings on the camera you used to get such a close up full tank shot.
Thank you.
Love,
Aranda

Beautiful. How long have the corals been in or did you buy them that size.

No i didnt buy them all in one day.. sorta.. I bought someone's entire setup just to take all the corals.. I still have all the equipment in my garage.. But once i sell it i should only end up being like $200-$300 deep..

I even took most of his fish + some of my old fish to the LFS to buy all the little stuff i needed...
Only thing that happened was a bubble coral got a little damaged and he hasn't grown/inflated all of his bubbles yet...
But everything is really happy...

Its a digital camera... Pentax optio t10... It's the one with the touch screen... its nothing like some of the cameras i've seen people using on SWF.com
For the settings i kinda adjusted everything until i thought it looked best then took the pictures.. Some settings were different so the pictures didn't come out as good..
