Tank Turns 1
Tank Turns 1
This weekend tank will be a year running ....
Overall, a very successful year, though I confess to beginning to feel the upgrade itch again
Anyhow, pretty good survival rate. Lost only three fish, a leopard wrasse that apparently had some kind of internal parasite problem, a pyramid butterfly that just went missing this past week, and a naso tang that died for no apparent reason. Most corals have grown, though my pair of dwarf angels have proven tough on both LPS and clams, most of which either died or had to be removed. Magnifica anemone outgrew the tank.
No equipment issues, really, though I did find it hard to resist buying a really big skimmer again. Probably going to get a bigger frag tank soon though. 20"x20" has proven to be too small for a tank that is now a net frag-generator as opposed to a frag-consumer.
Pictures are getting a bit repetitive, so from now on I'll just post ones of note.

Do the butterflyfish eat any corals?
Beautiful tank btw.
Beautiful tank btw.
Thanks! Depends on how broadly you mean. SPS, LPS, Zooanthids and most softies get left alone. Pyramids cleared my tank of Xenia and blue Clive polyps though. Whether that's a bad thing or not I'd leave to you .....

Thanks, keeps me amused.
Though found myself with the measuring tape this evening musing over whether that 450 would fit into the space currently occupied. After all, this tanks over a year old. What did Woody Allen say about relationships, 'they're like shark, got to keep moving or they'll die' ..... I think that applies to big tanks too.

Awesome anemone! Good luck with it.
No, this one came from a local reefer.
