You're up past your bedtime Gary!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

my crabs are spawning and I'm trying to get pix :worried:

 

[Capt_Cully]

OH man, a million different ways to respond to that one. I shall continue, as I always do, to window shop your photos. Makes me miss my reef even more

note that I have a hanging light fixture.
this means water returns are located INSIDE my aquarium (see 'em?)

how 'bout them overflows.... they hardly take up any real estate!

the icing on the cake: there's an MP60 sandwiched between those two drains at top left.

It don't get much cleaner than this!

I love the barebottom, i need to do this eventually to my nano.

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I do have a little bit of Special Grade Seafloor in there...
mostly for some of my wrasses to sleep in.

I have a remote DSB in my sump.

 

[Capt_Cully]

With all that surface aggitation, do you get a lot of salt spray or creep on your lighting fixture?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I was getting more spray than I wanted until last weekend when I lowered the MP60 a little bit. Now it's acceptable. The bottom of the light fixture is about 6" above the water and protected with glass. I'll still probably have to clean the glass once a month.

That Achillies is getting too big for that tank... I think it needs an 8 footer ;-) ;-)

I do have LPS in my aquarium but there are certain LPS I wouldn't trust with an Angelfish.

josepha- I know you were kidding around (winking smilie) but in all seriousness I don't believe my aquarium is too small for any of the fishes I currently have.

So what kind of LPS do you have? And what kind wouldn't you trust em with ?
I have Torches, Hammers, Frog-spawn and Anemones highly unlikely they would survive with that predator

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

I have torches, hammers, chalices, Goniopora, Duncans as well as "non LPS" Gorgonians, anemones, Zoanthids, Corallimorphs ("shrooms") etc.

I would not trust Cynarina or Scolymia with any Angelfish.

My Powder Blue is the most destructive fish in my aquarium.

 

[Henry Colf]

Sweet pic Gary!!!!! Love the way everything is glowing!!!!!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

thanks, Henry.
Obviously, pictures can only show so much. The glow is much better in person around 9PM with all the lights off in the house

[Gary Majchrzak]

picking at rockwork is a good sign

It has been a really long time since I've posted here. I decided to take a quick glance at what URS was up to. Glad i stopped by. Tank looks great Gary

How come? Is he eating things or knocking them around? Aren't they primarily herbivores? I have zero experience with any tangs and I'm curious.

Beautiful shot as usual. You too victorcan!
