9months pics of my tank

[Mchava]

Well since I have yet to post any picture of my tank since I set it up on Jan1, I guess i should post some. The tank is an 95% sps tank measuring 34.5L x 24w x 25h. Its been running on diffrent lighting setups but is now lit by only 1 10k BLV on a LumenMax3 DE running on a SLS VII ballast, 2x39w UVI super attinic are used for suppliment lighting. 1/10 jbj artica chiller on a ACjr controler for temp control (79-80deg). Skimmer is a heavy moded ER6-2 running a ehiem 1260 neddle wheel. Mag9 return(going to be replaced soon). A tunze 7400 turbel and a stream 6080 are used for added flow. Ca and alk are mantaind with a DIY Ca reactor. Here are some picture not the best but still okay.

wow, reminds me of kenny's tank, how big is it?
looks like a frag tank to me! beautiful corals!

tank is a 90g. As of today most of them are frags some are mini colonies. The biggest piece I have is the green slimmer which is about 12-13"tall and has about 4 branches that stick out at least 4-6" out. Oh and the frag holding cage will be coming down tomorrow, finished setting up the frag tank tonight. Will post picts tomorrow.

I was wondering if you ever feed the harleys by buying stars or do they just feed themselves from the asterinas?

 

[Mchava]

Yeah I need to get a better camera. But I have yet to see a PnS like the one I have now. Has a very good zoom focus them most of the one that I have seen unless its a DSLR (which I would have no need for)

well I have yet to feed them, since my tank was started with out the harleys the asterinas grew out of control. Once my tank had plenty of stars I went ahead and bought them. They have been with me for 1month and I still have alot of asterinas to go around. They are realy cool they actualy had babies tonight but the fish ate most of them.

hahaha Greg your to funny, actualy I got the shrimps the day be for SCMAS. At first I as only going to get one of them but I figured since they are paired they might have babies and feed the tank for me. Far as top down shots I need to make another photobox I broke the front cover on the last one and I havent had time to go and get some more acrylic.
