Nanogurl...what do mean the back half of your house as a zoo? My whole house is a zoo. I think that 1/2 of my electric bill is powering fish tanks, UVB bulbs, heaters and the like! I love the sugar gliders! My daughter wants a few (along with every other animal out there!) but we stop at the small zoo we have going now. Cute dog too!

Hope you didn't have to much of a sand storm. I did not rinse my sand either...but my Octopus cleared it up in 8 hours....awesome.

Kris

Thanks!

That wasn't my comment, it was another persons about the back half being a zoo.. but I totally understand what you're saying! Pets are so expensive but worth it You're daughter has great taste

No sand storm yet, no water.. we are waiting for the skimmer and acrylic to build a sump.. so hopefully next week we'll have everything up to test.

We went with the ASM.. how do you like the Octopus? We thought about that one as well but had an ASM before so we went with one we've had.

ROTFLOL!!!!!!!!! That has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a looong time. You have way too much time on your hands, obviously.

Still planning my sump. Skimmer is on order and should arrive on Wednesday. Post plans of my sump later tonight.

Here are some of our corals that will be transferred over to the new 75. Sorry for the bad quality photos, I don't know how to take better ones yet. All photos taken under the new Phoenix 14k 150w MHs.

Blueberry w/Plum outskirt zoas.

Blue zoas.

Teal zoas.

Cherry zoas.

Sour Apple zoas.

Watermellon zoas.

Cotton Candy zoas.

Combo zoas.

Florida Blue riccordia.

Red mushrooms.

Pink Birdsnest. When I got this it was so small with just a few branches.

Tank shot of the 20g. Pay no attention to the coraline algae I have been too lazy to scrape off

[H2OBUM]

Well, as you can see by my signature, we have a small zoo. And they are worth it!

The Oct is good...it skims out quite a bunch of stuff. I don't like this "cycling" part though....it's hard to be patient. Must have had some phos and nitrates on my rock...diatoms everywhere right now.

Good luck with your 75.

Kris

 

[NanoGurl]

Thanks Kris!

Your house sounds like a lot of fun! You're right, it is very hard to be patient. At least you have water!

 

[Kigs]

nice pics NG...especially that blue speckled mushroom! how is Nikon D50 with Macroshots? what's the megapixel on it? Surfing throgh ebay for few diff. makers and I'd apprecieate the input.

Oreo Cookie sand

Just read the whole enchilada and have to say congrats ,looking good so far. Started my 75 build about the same time as you maybe a little earlier. Was thinking of starting my own build thread but after seeing this one, don't think I could compete with the glider cuteness. Nice job on your stand choice btw

 

[daveonbass]

I wish I could get zooz to look that good. And I have rics that are growing big but appear to be browning...no real color. Anyways I'm checking in a lot and love the progress...keep up the good looking specimines.
