Things are looking awesome!

Is it possible to post an updated fish list?

Sure.

-About 8 Anthias; One dominant male now w/ nice purple coloration. they are in two groups 3 in one 5 in the other
-Blond Naso (about 8 inches long)
-Regal Tang (about 8 inches long)
-3 Yellow Tangs (3.5 inches, two are 4 inches)
-flame angel (3 inches)
-two clowns (nemo variety) (all were gotten before the show came out)


So I guess 16 fish.

That's a nice assortment of fish.

What kind of feeding schedule do you adhere to? I'm curious as I have 4x Anthias, 2x Tangs, & a Foxface and I'm trying to optimize their feeding habits.

 

[LittleBlueGT]

I feed as often as I can, usually twice a day. Sometimes up to 4 or 5 times in a day. (If I am home all day)

I also have no problems leaving the tank for up to a week unattended. At least so far I have been fine.

 

[Psyire]

Cool, sounds like your feeding habits are very similar to mine.

I got about 50 frags in my frag tank as we speak. Any local reefers interested in doing some trading let me know. Or you can come pick some up for a good deal too.

Any updates?

 

[LittleBlueGT]

I know, I know, I need to update with many pics and some updates on equipment.

Corals are all growing well, very well in fact. I estimate the tank will be filled in about 2 years. In about 4 years I figure many corals will have to be regularly pruned.

Major troubles keeping up alk/cal.

My kalk reactor is going full bore, and my calcium reactor is pretty much running at full steam as well. I am using about 180 bpm of CO2!

Yea, not bad.

Hope your tank is going well. When are you in the city next? We need to trade some frags!

Remember:

We've not seen images since Jan 5 - that's 2.5 months for those that are counting.

Just got a laptop (with PCMI-CFcard reader) and re-configured the old desktop. Pics will have to come soon.

Just spending too much time getting the car up to my spec!

Moving to the big city. So the new 180 is staying here. Lucky I still have my 90 cube. Going to use it and will be looking for frags.

I have some more pics to share, but I can't seem to figure out my ftp thing.

Stay tuned.
