DeMartini's ADA Reef

[kevin34]

i cant wait to see how this turns out

have you ever thought about getting a blue spotted jawfish? for some reason I always pictured you having one

haha

 

[demartini]

lol those a re pretty cool, but I'm adding my picassos and then I might add a Helfriche's firefish and a yasha goby.

 

[demartini]

I rearranged the rocks AGAIN! I still don't like how it looks though

Right now it looks like the Matterhorn. I'm going to pick out some more pieces of rock tomorrow.

 

[rotarymagic]

It's nice porous rock IMO...better than alot of the stuff I got.. I actually have pieces bigger than that big one in my 15.

 

[demartini]

The rock is really nice... I'm just not sure how I want to aquascape it all lol The pictures are a little deceiving because in person the rocks look a lot bigger and the tank doesn't look as empty

lol everything will look better when I start adding corals and purple rock!

 

[rotarymagic]

Just go on ahead and do 2 islands and copy her.. I know you want to.. haha.

 

[mboswell1982]

i think it looks good lauren, leave it just the way it is, or maybe add more rock to the island on the right, but other than that, dont touch it

 

[demartini]

I was just looking at her tank.... It doesn't look as nice as I thought it did before lol I am going to have two islands and then I'm going to add a bunch of flat islands in the sand bed, so that I can fill them with zoas.
I'm driving to San Jose tomorrow to buy some awesome corals!! I can't wait.... I'm too excited to sleep lol jk

Lollerskates... I'm counting down the time till I go pick stuff up... only 3.5 more hours.

DeMartini, I have a question about your cube.... I noticed you have the frogspawn all the way at the top (like I have mine) and I was curious to ask, when you do a water change how do you deal with it? Do you move it down? When i do my water changes I move him down because sudden loss of water his tips get all crushed up by its body/rocks... How do you deal with him and water changes, it seems like u have no space to put him lower during a water change so maybe you have a good idea/trick ?

I move my finger around it, so that it sucks back in and then I do the water change.

 

[kromix]

ahhh was thinkin that, will try it next time, just thought it would take foreverrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[rotarymagic]

lauren do you have pics of the stuff you bought? I wanna see the corals because I know you don't buy any "crap" so I know what I'll be trading my frags for in the future lol.

 

[demartini]
