few new shots, things are all cleared up and looking good. I'll try to get a few FT shots tomorrow before the lights come on. it's hard to get anything good with the light glare. enjoy.

You gotta charge admission. Or offer rides on that whale of a vlamingii. How big is that bad boy anyway?

 

[tropills]

he's 14.5 inches NOT including his streamers so right about 17 inches from nose to end of tail total.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Tharrrr she blows!!!!!!

 

[tropills]

his name is monster, it's a fitting name I think.

 

[tropills]

It's so hard to get a FT shot, everytime I try it won't show any of the rock setups like I want. If anyone has any Ideas I'll take them.
but for kicks here's a few other shots.

 

[tropills]

two more for you capt. :bum:

Well thought I would give a little update on the lagoon, several months ago I had a almost total crash, I lost all fish and a ton of corals. since then I have added a few fish and a bunch of LPS and SPS corals. ( thanks Jedi ) the cause of my crash was a bad refractor, high temp and a wore out RO unit. replaced all faulty items switched salt brands and have done more scheduled maintenance. but any how here are a few new pictures. enjoy and please feel free to criticize. ( cully) haha

Lookin Great Greg...........

Thanks for the update. Fantastic and unique build. Sorry to hear about you losing those fish. They were beautiful. I guess now that you've got all the room, you can go ahead and start from tiny fish again and let them grow out!

Also to help take pictures, you might want to look at a UV filter if your camera is an SLR, if not, then maybe you can use very lightly tinted polarized glasses to put the camera lens through. It'll cut the glare from the top and be almost like using a top-down box (another investment worth making when using a setup like this).

Thanks for sharing, and man is that an awesome build

Sorry for your losses. Definatley go for a top down box. http://www.melevsreef.com/topdown.html Alot better photos without glare or ripple. Did you get a new tang?

 

[nate82]

awesome tank! love that stack! glad to see you're making quite the comeback

 

[tropills]

Thanks guys, I'm really trying to keep with just corals, yes I have a couple fish ( 3 ) and I'm going to add another big Vlamingi but that will be all. lol Nate, that's my original stack from when I first set it up.. Jedi is going to come out next week I guess to give me the pro. stack, then I will have a ton of extra rock and a lot more open areas.

Your gonna love the tang! If my tank wasn't only 180g I would have kept him!
