New QT TANK!!! Doors are not on yet but soon will be... It's a really awesome setup for my room

This one was doing bad in my main tank because we didnt have RO water at the time... so I put it in the QT with nice clean RO water and it looks much much healthier

Nice new Astreopora which is actually much bluer in person... im trying to find a good spot for this.. maybe i'll just stick it out open in the sand somewhere

New corals on the way! Just bought a Zoa pack from the bay of e.. decent deal... 5 different zoa frags...

I also got............... A FLAME ANGEL!!!

 

[reefman13]

Watch that flame. They are nippers.

 

[reefman13]

Looking good. I have to say, that Q/T looks like once all your fish are in your system...will make a very nice Nano reef

Lol you got that right reefman... Im wayyyy ahead of ya

 

[Kdocimo90]

doing ALOT of rockwork... Im kinda stuck right now.. cant seem to get these two pieces right... im gonna take a little break then get back to it

 

[Kdocimo90]

just finished 6 hrs of aquascapinng.. i will post pics when the tank clears up... PLEASE leave me your honest oppinion of whether you like the new aquascape or the old one....


I was going for more of a dimensional view whereas the last aquascape was sort of just some flat rocks stacked up, and you didnt see the fish too often...

 

[Kdocimo90]

New Aquascape

New Aquascape

Okay, so I have to say it looks better in person because you can see the dimension of the rock better... tell me what you think...

 

[reefman13]

MORE CORALS!!!!!!!!


j/k...believe me, I know its tough being a student and all...I do think however, that if you are going to have a smaller amount of rock in the tank, you need to get a few more fish, or coral just to "liven it up" a bit.

 

[Kdocimo90]

well i didnt take any live rock out.. its the exact same rocks just moved into a better position... oh and im getting some corals too... I like the rock work this way because there are ALOT more spaces to put corals and frags... I also like being able to see more sand...

I realized that once i put corals in there it's going to make the rock positioning look great..

thanks reefman,
and yes I DO need more corals!!! I'm looking to buy some if anyone has any cool frags

 

[reefman13]

I have a leather frag...finger leather...lmk

 

[krulee]

i have to say this tank is awsome

 

[Kdocimo90]

Thanks Krulee

Here's what I got today... Was afraid it was going to die during shipment but ended up real good

Heres a picture of the flash.. basically just to show the structure.. doesnt show the color... the next pictures will

These two pictures show the colors of it better.

Its funny.. whatever i put in the tank the peppermint run up to it and clean the heck out of it... you should be able to see the peppermint shrimp on the right of the carpet anemone

 

[reefman13]

Yeah peppermints are supposed to remove anemones...pepermints bothering a new anemone...especially a carpet (looks like a mertens carpet btw) IMO, would try to get them to stay away for a little while at least until the carpet is settled in.

 

[AwkwardParrot]

very nice carpet!!!! i miss mine sometimes, then i remember how much it ate.... :'(

Yeah it is settled in very good right now... you can tell... i'll take a better picture tomorrow... It's a haddoni carpet also... Its funny because I just saw one of the peppermint shrimp on the rock next to the carpet and it stuck it's leg on it, just touching it... and over course it got stuck to the anemone, and the peppermint shrimp quickly pulled his leg back lol.
