BAR show off your full tank shots!

[jmc74]

also what light are you using to get the colors so nice?

 

[rleechb]

No UV. I run a little bit of ozone, but I haven't noticed any difference in water clarity/algae at all since starting. A bit odd considering there was a huge difference in water clarity on my last tank (I may just have a bad ozonizer).

I have a little bit of algae, but not too bad. I run a phosban reactor/fuge and skim heavily.

2 x 250 Phoenix 14k's. Kind of wish I had actinics, but I'm far too lazy to install them

rleechb, very nice colors. I am definately getting 14k's when I replace these 20k's.

Thanks for the compliment. I'd recommend looking into the iwasaki 15k's; people have been raving about those bulbs for a while now.

 

[Cozen89]

ok, I'll try to remember that recommendation in 9-10 months when it comes time to replace =)

Hey Ray. Your tank's still amazing. Still don't know how you can keep it so clean with the little cleaning you do. Btw can you find the frags I got from you in the pictures? Here's my tank shots.

fishes wanting some attention

nasotang, what kind of angle is that on the lower right of the last pic?

and Ray, your tank is amazing. your being far to modest. I'm wish i hadn't posted my "holding" tank pics in the same thread.

Thanks Mike! You probably just catch my tank right after I finish cleaning


Hmm.. I see the sunset, but that's it. I don't remember what else you got from me!


Great tank! I envy all you guys with bigger err... tanks. Watch out for those mushrooms though

[nasotang]

Lordhelmet- It's shot from the front...a close up of the middle.

rleechb- the sunset's grown out nice, but the superman I got from you is in the 2nd pic right below the purple haze. It's pretty much doubled to tripled in size in the month I've had it. The turqoise blue zoas I got from you went from 4 to 12 in a month. =)

 

[NanoClown]

much has changed since this pic, i went on vacation, all on my SPS in this pic are dead, and the brian died, my baby maxima was found being devoured by my nassarius, and no signs of my male true perc. but surprisingly my Squamosa recoverd from PM, my purple mushroom split, and my zoas started to spread fast

since this pic i have added a frag of idaho grape monti, a yuma, a longnose halkfish and some shrooms

 

[Lordhelmet]

HA, i just read what i posted. sorry I'm tired. I meant to say what angel is that in the lower right.

Thanks Chris. I still can't get as good colors as you did in that 55 of yours though (remember the Pink milli???)

Don't worry about the 75, your 180 is going to be up soon and looking awesome

P.S. YGPM

 

[nasotang]

=) I had to read you question twice to make sure I got it right.

It's a female bellus angel that's about 5" long. I've got a 3" female watanabe angel swimming around in there also.

 

[Lordhelmet]

nice, i just picked up a small 2 1/2" female lamarck angel the other day. It hasn't been out much with the other fish around but I really like the look of it. I read they change sex to males when there are no other males around.

 

[nasotang]

Lordhelmet- Does you CB pick at your clams or corals?

wow, how do you get the 14k's to show that color, I have new 14k phoenix DE and see my shot, it look nothing like yours.. I just orderd new PC lights that are Actinic 03 420nm, unlike the Actinic blue everyone has the is just blue light, the ones I ordered are purple 420nm, so i hope I get the pop you have...

 

[rleechb]

What ballasts do you run them on? I run mine on coralvue eballasts, which for some reason or another, tend to burn phoenix's quite a bit whiter than other ballasts.

 

[happyface888]

Wow some nice looking tanks, so who wins tank of the month
