IM back.....

[green machine]

Im sure not many remember me here, however about 9 months ago I had to get out of the hobby, due to financial reasons. I had, at the time, 3 tanks, a 210g, 54g corner, and a 60g cube, all mixed reefs. I had to sell it all off.
Im fortunate enough not to be back in the hobby, started a tank twards the end of dec 08. its a 24g aquapod.
Thought I would share a few pictures of its progress.
Day 1

Day 5

Hope you enjoy and comments are always welcome.

60 gallon cube??? who makes it wow i really want a big nano. and yours is amazing i luv the clowns

 

[green machine]

thanks for the kind words guys, I removed the sand personally because I like the look of it, Also In my opinion I am able to keep more stable levels, and the sand gets so dirty.
This tank is just about 4 months old. any questions just ask.

the 60 cube was a custom built tank with 1/2 in glass, with 3 holes drilled in the back for a closed loop and drain for the sump.
heres a picture of it in its hay day.

Okay. Diggin' all the zoas. Is that frogspawn or torch? It looks like spawn, but I honestly can't tell. Yellow fairy wrasse? Nice. What about the sand Qs? Did you do it just because you didn't care for the sand? I think a nice coraline covered bottom looks sweet, don't get me wrong. I'm just curious.
EDIT: wow, I totally missed where you answered that...sorry.

Thanks again, That is frogspawn. Also that is a yellow coris wrasse that currently lives in Tizzo's tank.
Also before everything calls on the tang police, both of those tangs went right into the 210g shortly after that picture.
The regal blue also currently lives in Tizzo's tank and is the single most beautiful fish I have ever owned.

oh yeah!? Well... I'll have to say it's my "second" most beautiful fish I've ever owned. My first yellow tang. Wow, what a big fat beauty she was.
But I digress...
Yes green machine's hippo and wrasse are exquisite additions to my tank now!
Your whole set up currently looks great!

 

[teresaq]

hey green, nice to see you back. Your new tank looks great.
Your 54 corner is still going strong, It now houses a very nice pair of seahorses.
