A pic of my 75 g today 1 year details.

My Naso wasnt a small baby when I got it, I would say it was 3-4".
She eats anything. I feed flake food Formula One, and Green Ocean Nutrition Seaweed select. One large piece a day of the seaweed folded on clip.

Do you direct feed the candy canes? If not, how do you think they survive?

 

[tonym10]

No. I do not direct feed any of the corals. My first year I did direct my anenome but not any more.

I just moved my alveopora flowerpot that has been growing in its same place for 2 years. The RBTA has gotten too big since adding MH , and it has been stinging the flower pot for months. It was very hard to move, it had calcified into all the surrounding rocks. I hope it makes it threw the move ok.

Excellent pictures, how long will it take the clown eggs to hatch?

I just love your hammer corals, here is a picture of the one I picked up yesterday, I hope it does well in my tank.

 

[tonym10]

Thansk RJ. Nice color combination on your hammer.

Thanks, Green with a gray hammer head, I am a sucker for the deep neon greens.

Just checking on my tank and found the reefkeeper said the water temp was 85, my water is never that hot , it always stays at 80. So the reefkeeper had the fan gowing to cool it down, I felt the water , it didnt fel warm. I have my heater pluged into my reefkeeper to turn on when the reefkeeper says water is over 80, so of course my heater was turned off and I could not get a temp reading from it. So I unpluged the heater from the reefkeeper and pluged it into a regular outlet , it read 75. So my reefkeeper not only was displaying the wrong temp but was turning my fan on to cool it more . I thought I was safe with the heater pluged into the reefkeeper, two temp probes instead of one, boy was I wrong. So now i will leave the heater plugged into outlet untill the reefkeeper gets fixed. I think I will get a third temp probe now with some kind of alarm.

I just have a colored stick on in the back right corner, and have my one 300w heater set at 76 which really means 81 I am thinking, since my tank stays pretty much between 81-83. It runs 81 at night with the lights off which is entirely the heater keeping the tank warm, and up to about 83 during the day with the MH on. I definately have a completely manual system when it comes to top-off, temp and everything else I do with it. I actually like being in complete control with all the mishaps I hear about automatic equipment failing and people losing a bunch of stuff in there tanks.

 

[rjwilson37]

Maybe by the time I start my next tank, (an in-wall tank of at least 180g) just maybe the different automatic pieces will be more reliable or have backup monitors in case the monitor's fail.

 

[tonym10]

Yea back ups to the back ups are needed. Digital Aquatics is sending me a new temp probe. But I will add a third temp guag with alarm now.

 

[rjwilson37]

I am completely manual... for the most part.... and loving it... Knock on wood.:hammer:

 

[tonym10]

I am trieing to raise my clown fish eggs. They will be ready to hatch on the 5th, so I am working on raising phyto and rotifers now.

Has the Tang police ever jumped you about your 2 Tangs in a 75g?

 

[kaweahnet]

Screw the tang police. My tang is perfectly happy, even though he supposedly doesn't have room to "run".

Tony, a year ago your tank insipired me to set-up my own 75 g. I've continued to follow your tank this last year and it's just getting better.

Here is a picture of my tank on it's 1st birthday.

You monster 4 Tangs in a 75g.
