elsefailed's 40Br (Picture INTENSE)

i am the same way! i think that i like the front open but i felt i was hiding all the really nice acans and i think when they are all plump and open they look great close together and showcased in the front

Awesome looking tank. Your photography skills are unmatched. How long have you kept the mandarin?

Sweet Tank

 

[elsefailed]

thanks again guys
i have had the mandarin for over a year now with two wrasses for the majority of the time ( 1 now )

my sump has millions of pods so i put rocks in every month or so pod infested sort of like a buffet!

nice video, love the camera work, question, i believe that is a chromis in there, how does that do alone? i always hear about them being kept in groups, which i find strange since they all gang up until there are only a few left.

thanks bud
i had 3 in the beginning but the two died
ive had just the one for over a year now and he seems fine
pretty timid though but no one picks on him

 

[lolgranny]

How many lbs of rock do u have in here?
Lookin real nice!

Also, hows the anthinas doing in the 40g? Ive always wanted one in mine, but they say they should be in a 125g. ahhh haha

 

[elsefailed]

lol granny not really sure i have about 6 pretty large maybe 10 lb rocks each plus various smaller rocks to compliment them

the anthias has been fine ive had it for around a year now but im sure it depends on the fish

jsut a few rnadom pics
