Another new tank...this makes 9

[Rendos]

A few updated pics.
My anemone moved to another spot in the tank so I had to rearrange a few things to keep them from getting stung. I also added a few new things.

My male ventralis anthias...

I bought a couple of Aqua-Mags (deep water rock) at MACNA XX. They look great in the tank and I am sure they will look better once some coralline starts growing on them. They opened up some new real estate for corals in the tank.

that's one amazing tank! you have done a great job! how many fish you have in there in total?

 

[jnarowe]

you really have a fantastic mixed reef. The Potter's is amazing. So hard to get them to survive long-term. Great red planet and Goniopora. :thumbsup:

 

[MIKE HUNT]

wow , good work!

 

[mcliffy2]

Looking really nice. I also like the way your aquascape is maintaining its shape as the corals grow in.

WOW....I love this tank! That Ventralis kicks a$$ dude! :thumbsup:

The "Deep-Water Aqua-Mag" is very cool. I just had to go look those up...one thing I didn't like about the frag-mags is it just didn't look right IMO. I'd just assume glue/epoxy a frag to the tank, whereas the rock looks pretty cool. Have you had any issues with it moving on you? I wonder if you might over time...


Totally off topic, but where did you get this TV stand? IT ROCKS!

I assume it uses the wall mounts on the back of the TV to mount to the center post? Very cool, it looks like its floating.

Good looking cube you got there. That Potters Wrasse is gorgeous. What happened to the group of Cardinals? They don't seem to be in any of your last few pics..

And one suggestion - could you scrape the corraline so it has a nice crisp backgroun? JMO, but I think it looks better because the corals tend to blend in with the corraline, but really pop against the black background.

They are still in there. Two of them are carrying eggs in their mouth right now. They stay in the back most of the time, but are doing great, and don't miss a meal (except when they have eggs).

Thanks...that would be a full time job. I have to scrape coralline off the 2 viewable panels daily. Anytime I add anything, it is covered 100% in coralline algae in about 2 weeks. The Aqua-Mags in the tank were added the week after MACNA XX...so in three weeks they are almost completely covered in coralline.

Vlamingi -

And one at a strange angle.

 

[The Escaped Ape]

Really stunning tank! One of the most successful attempts at a mixed soft/LPS/SPS tank I've seen.

 

[kcdan87]

wow great pics and nice tank!!

 

[porthios]

nothing better than a tastefully done mixed reef imo. can you describe your husbandry/dosing methods and schedule for us?
