Some of you might know me. I've posted in the nano section mostly but I just purchased a house and I have finally set up my dream 40b.
During the move from the 29 to 40b I lost three fish (I pretty sure it was stress 'cause all of the corals and inverts are fine), a firefish, royal gramma, and six-line. I was pretty upset until my wife said, "well, now you can get more fish."
So that is where I'm at, the tank has been set up since 4/16/10 with everything (except water and new dry sand) from my 29. I'm starting to get the diatoms but so far it hasn't been an expolsion. Okay enough chit-chat pictars! (sorry my camera broke, all I have are cell pics)
My daughter testing the new tank.
The metal stand my father-in-law built for my b-day.
FTS (4/16/10), a little cloudy from the transfer.
And the sump. I still need to get those powers strips off the floor.
Equipment:
AGA 40b
FNI 150W MH w/their 20k bulb
20L sump
Reef Octopus NW-110
Old old old jager 150w heater
Catalina something (800gph)
~2-2.5" sugar size aragonite sand
~50lbs LR
Fish:
O. Clownfish (I've had this guy since 2/4/09 through 3 moves)
Firefish 4/22/10 (brother-in-law picked him up as a housewarming gift)
Inverts:
Orange Linkia starfish (one of the smaller herbivorous species)
Some sort of conch ~1.25"
5 nassarius
5 trochus
3 blue leg hermits (pain in me arse!)
Corals:
Orange digi
Orange monti
Green sps (can't think of the name right now)
Bonsai type acro (purple base with green polyps)
Frogspawn
Xenia
Misc. zoas/palys
Firefly echino
GIANT purple mushroom
Trumpet coral (I thought this guy was dead until I put him in this tank)
Algae:
Cheato (in the sump)
2 types of red algae in the display (I'll have to post pics to get id's, they came as hitchhikers)
