beautiful but not exactly 3,500 dollars beautiful

 

[aanthony]

first of all, if you dont mind me asking, how many lbs of rock, and excluding the corals how much has that cost you so far

 

[demartini]

very beautiful!

 

[clowngyrl]

you have some beautiful clownfish! luv the rock and corals. Amazing tank setup

 

[reefboys]

Yeah the Gem Tang is pretty beautiful but definately not worth 3500... personally I think it looks like a Scopas with ick... lol

 

[richarl5]

OO, Very nice! I like your bta!

 

[azfishgal]

Very nice from the pics I was able to view. A bunch of them were red X's. Do you have a full tank shot? Might have been one of the red x's, so couldn't see it.

I see the first five, then all red x.

 

[azfishgal]

I can see like eight of them. It's weird because in the same post, I can see two or three but some above and below are red x's. Sorry frank! Would love to see the rest though!

P.S. Check out my new diary! The tank stand is slowly coming together!

Just another precaution to help stable the tank out. Also have a nitrate reducer coming tomorrow :cheer: it builds bacteria that eat nitrates so thats pretty exciting.
I ment why use mangroves over chato? Nether go sexual, but like you said if a leaf falls it will release trates back in your tank. Pluss they are trees, they get HUGE. don't want to flame just curious
