Here is a pic of my new Hammer Coral...I really like this coral. It adds a lot of motion to a mostly dominated SPS tank....

Here's a video of the tank. The quality seemed to have degraded a bit. It looks kinda blurry in some areas but I guess its better then a photo!

Here's a pic of my newest addition...he's a 1 1/2" purple tang (smallest I've ever seen) I plan to move him up to a larger tank as he grows....I picked him up for three reasons...he was not fed properly at the LFS. They said they only fed brine to him. Secondly, I wanted a fish to pick at algae, all day. Third, he's just a beautiful fish. He's been doing very well since he's been added, his stomach is not skinny now....

Nice!!!

How are you keeping up with Ca levels in this tank? Do you dose powder, liquid, Kalk, or do you have a Ca Reactor?

Hi Travis,

I use a 2 part Oceans Blend. It was recommended to me by a guy who used it soley on his smaller tanks (under 75 gallons). His tanks were all vibrant and growing very well. I just dose it every morning....

Brisk,
I like. The SPS are getting good colors and growth. I also like the clean background.
You no longer have the anthias?

 

[BRISK495]

The anthias is still in there....hes the yellowish fish on the left side of the tank. He is a Bartlet's anthias, but a very yellow Bartlett's...

Oh and I also still have the Royal Gramma and the Cherub...I haven't lost any fish yet, just had to return them for being bad inhabitants (nipping corals)! I actually did have two Green Chromis that didnt make it at all, my clown harrassed them to death unfortunately...

 

[Travis Savant]

do you have a link where I can buy some of that 2 part Oceans Blend?

 

[BRISK495]

Yep, here it is....The guys name is Jim. You can tell him you spoke to Chris (thats me) about it. He can tell you all about the success he has with his tanks

I know I just posted an update pic yesterday, but here is another...I happened to go the store near me and pic up this cactus coral thats located right in the bottom/middle. I have been looking for either one of these or a brain. I just couldn't resist this one. Also, I moved a coral that I bought in the summer to the front. It wasn't do well from the start, so I fragged it then just stuck it in the back...just today I checked on it and it was encrusting and doing surprisingly well....go figure! Not the most colorful coral, but its growing very well, so now its right out in the front....
