Added rock in November of 04 and started adding corals in December.


No rare or LE corals and a lot of fish.

Bro, that is f'ing beautiful. Excellent job.

 

[AlgaeMan]

WoW! That tank is packed. Nice job! I bet keeping those sps from touching will keep you busy

 

[just dave]

Thanks guys.

A lot of them are touching. I don't intervene unless it gets really ugly.

 

[SawCJack00]

WOW that's gorgeous. Congrats on a beautiful tank!

 

[heuerfan]

Awesome tank man, love the collection of wrasses also! How about some tank info, specs?

 

[Typhon]

Great looking tank!!!

How are you about to keep a Leopard Wrasse without substrate??

 

[naka]

Beautiful tank bro!

 

[Witch-King]

That is an incredible tank :thumbsup:. I'm also wondering about specs as well. I'm especially curious to find out if you feed your corals or depend on a large fish load to provide nutrients. Ever since I switched to bare bottom all my sps seem to lighten up and itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s driving me out of my mind.

 

[thrlride]

Very nice! Very nice photography and tank!

 

[willember]

whats LE?

 

[PUGroyale]

Simply awesome!!! Beautiful corals and I love all those Anthias Isn't this the tank with the sort of sand box in back for the wrasse?

 

[PUGroyale]

whats LE?

it's Latin for Listus Eternitus :lol:

 

[Witch-King]

I thought it meant, it cost more than a Little Elephant :jester:

 

[MiddletonMark]

Beautiful tank, just lovely and I like how you've pursued your aesthetics in it [wrasse heaven, corals that you think are pretty but might lack the letters to make others pay attention].

:thumbsup: Awesome.

I do feed the fish a lot and sometimes I add DT's oyster eggs to the tank. I also feed Cylcopseze to the fish as well.

I do a 40 gal water change every week with Oceanic salt most of the time( sometimes I.O.)

I also dose B-Ionic 2-part with a MTC doser.

They should know all about that in Angmar.
