Thanks guys. I am going to take some more pictures today.

Well I officially hate Time Warner. They suck I had no internet for a few days

Anyways I was able to snap some pictures that turned out well. I have been reading about the Bio-Pellets that sound promising. Aquarium Specialty will be carrying them and they are just down in SC.

Like I have said before, my tank looks AMAZING with the new bulbs. I am still battling the aptasia and some bubble algae but nothing I am worried about. Just working on it small amounts has helped a ton. I really want to add some smaller fish the next few months but things have been tight. I sold my Dendro only because I like to keep my hands out of this tank and not enough time to feed it.

Now for the pictures...

Cool picture of new bulb

Great picture of the clam

DFason, In the reflection it looks like you are not running MH lights, why that choice. I am in the process of building a tank with a depth of 2 ft. and I would like to go with t5s but not sure. How long has that clam been it the tank and is he on top or the bottom, and what is your depth.

Thanks

Nice lord collection

 

[DFason]

Bobby - I went with T5's because of heat and power. I love them and have NO problems growing anything under them.

Thanks acro.

Well I needed a really lazy weekend. I have worked 12-15 hour days last week and needed some time to veg out. I snapped a few pictures and I will only add this one. This one turned out AWESOME

The FACE series tank is underway ( I am going to try and start a small side business and build custom tank and stand combos and this will be the first). I ended up adding everything together and with me only being 24 and looking for a house I did not want a tank that would be a pain in the butt to move. So I have this going and is a set in stone.... I am selling the SS stand and have a new steel stand being made and will be finished Dec. 15th. Tank glass has been ordered 13mm low iron, beveled and polished. I will have black silicon and the dimensions will be 30x22x20. This will be the start to a FACE series tank

As for the the aquascape for the new tank that will be up in the air. My girlfriend gave me a really cool print that I look at every morning. I love the picture and I have been thinking of doing some type of aquascaping like it. Shallow rocks, overgrown coral forest, fish swimming through and inverts hiding in the depth of the corals and rock. Hell who knows, I think I could figure something out with 22" of depth to work with!

Any ways here is the picture from today and the print.

Well I picked up my PVC board and its a BEAST. I should be able to get my glass before or right after Christmas so its really under way

I had to sell my WM with xmas around the corner. I felt a little down until I got a 500$ PP to my account!

The tank is still on auto-drive. Just dosing and feeding and things have been doing great. My flasher wrasse jump today when I was at work so that sucks but I will replace it with a cool fish soon.

I'm getting a little bit better with the camera but I really want to try one that feels good in my hands. So I will be shopping around. This gives me tons of practice so I cant complain.

I like your LPS and chalices. The coloration is very good. Can't wait to order some WM and ME's for my new tank. :bum:

 

[cherubfish pair]

What is this pvc board? I must have missed it.

I reall like your rockwork too, and beautiful chalices

Sorry, double post.

 

[DFason]

Thanks guys!

The PVC board is for my next tank. I am doing a DIY PVC bottom, glass sided tank. Should be fun!

I picked up a Flame Angel and it is amazing. It has been nipping at my caps but if it keeps it up I may have to take it back December 30th I should have a Golden dwarf Moray Eel!

-Dave

 

[mattskims]

Tank looks great, hope the Flame angel knocks it off, it's a beauty...IMO the tank would look even better with a 6x24 Sunpower or PM ;-)

 

[DFason]

haha thanks Matt! I am calling again today to see if they really came in.

I just took the little guy out. I HATE stressing about my tank. I am taking him back to LFS where I hope another owner will take great care of her.

-Dave

 

[mattskims]

That's too bad, but I completely understand not wanting to lose the corals...dwarf angels are hit and miss...some exist fine in a reef and some just have an appetite that doesn't quit.
