Reefing On My Mind
Team RC
Well, I finally have the 75 up and running so Ashley can have some of the fish she's been wanting... Right now it has a Flame Angel, Yellow Tang, a couple Yellow Tail Damsels, a couple Blue Devil's, two Fishboy GSM's, a Punctato Butterfly, a Midas Blenny, a Pixy Hawkfish, and a Coral Banded Shrimp... :) Special thanks to Clayton (cknox) for the rock... And especially Angela for holding it for me... :beer:

Its supposed to be a FOWLR tank, but Clayton's rock came with some zoos, and I couldn't stand the bare rock look, so I threw some pulsing and pompom xenia, GSP, and a purple hairy mushroom in... lol I'm running two 250 DE's for lighting and have an ASM G3 for a skimmer... :)
 
Nice looking set up and fish. I love flames but already have a coral beauty. Hope all the hitchicker corals make it! That looks like more rock than I held for you, did you add more?
 
looks great Randy! I like the rock work, nice caves and overhangs. What kind of fish does Ashley want? Keep those fish fat and happy and I bet the corals will do fine. Nice job!
 
Angela ~ Nah, its all the same rock... Well, no, I guess I did add some peices with GSP and Xenia... So mostly the same rock... :) Just creative stacking and pixy dust... Oh, and I've got your Fire and Ice frag... I'll bring it down with your containers Saturday... ;)
 
Hey Randy, want to help me rearrange my rock, hah hah?

Does this tank have a canopy?
 
I need some of that magic pixi dust to make my rock stretch! Yea I was gonna remind you for the frag, thanks for remembering.
 
Thanks guys!!! Yeah, it has a canopy... Just something I threw together in the backyard... lol I'll take some pics and post them later... Yeah, I had to include some overhangs and whatnot for my cbs and also some of the fish I'm wanting prefer cave like structures... And one thing always to remember is that fish that feel like they have a safe place to retreat to, also feel more comfortable coming out in the open... I also tried to make it so that you can see into all the caves and overhangs really well... No place for fishies to disappear to... :)
 
Ok... Updated pics... The canopy I made holds two 250w DE ReefOptixIII pendents... The thing in the middle is a fan... And like I said before in the sump I have a G3... I'm going to add a lamp with some Chaeto as soon as I'm ready to harvest from my 135...

Tank looks great Randy, so much for a FOWLR huh? :)
Click to expand...

Well, it all started with some Xenia and GSP... ;) Oh, and since the zoos that came with the LR were doing well, I thought heck, I might as well add a bit more... Then before I knew it, BLAM... Its a reef tank... Oh well... I throw all my naughty fish in there... The ones that don't like to play nicely...
