Aquaph8's 225 Build

Sweet! I can't get enough of that (what I'm guessing is a) green slimmer and red planet. The growth, structure and color on both are incredible!

 

[aquaph8]

Thanks, yes on the slimmer, the big pink one is another variety of hyacinthus. Its just like red planet just a little more pink color. If you look in the FTS there is a red planet just to the right of it but its hard to tell its any different in a pic.

Out of 12 longspine cardinals only 4 have made it past day one. Most of the losses were DOA, these guys ship awful.

these guys are funny, once in a while I catch them all together having a meeting.

Thanks man, I wasn't gonna get any wrasses quite yet but I want the earlei to be king of the wrasses like my pink margin was before, so I wanted to add him first and give him a chance to settle in. It also helps that he was a decent size, my per one was really tiny.

Very cool. I wondered who bought that one. Glad to see it went to a good home.

Good luck with it. Tank is looking great BTW.

Great pics Brett! I'm glad to see you are beginning to stock fish again, the earl's wrasse looks amazing!

 

[aquaph8]

Thanks Ed, he really is a pretty fish. I might have to rethink the cardinals though, they're dropping like flies. Really not as cool if you can't make a group of them too.

Sorry to hear about your fish Brett but looks like you are in route to setting up a great new live stock for your tank. It still with no fish in it looks better then mine. Oh and p.s you suck for beating me in the fantasy football playoffs lol

Haha thanks Mitch. I honestly thought you had me man. Don't worry Im the king of second place usually.

Very nice. Every time I get close to setting up something comes along and messes with the plans. Yours looks amazing.

Don't feel bad at all Brett! After having 15 of these fully established for over a year, the dominant pair began taking the subs down one by one.
Guess how many I've got now...

Despite the set back the corals look fantastic! Can't wait to see the comeback selection

 

[aquaph8]

Yeah man, I give up. I have 3 right now but only two are eating well so I guess we're going with a pair. I really want to give the Queen Antonia's another shot though, I did pretty well with them last time considering how tough they are to get to eat.
