I just wanted to start a thread where in the subject line I address myself in the 3rd person. Fun times!!!











And since I haven't post a FTS on URS in a while here goes nothing...

Beatiful Nate. Nice work.

 

[magdelan]

yeah... it's alright.

Tank rocks Nate!!! I'm loving the blue background. Which one is the Misty Blue? One of the two far left?

 

[Lanceafer]

Wow look at that clam!

 

[nwrogers]

Thanks everyone!

The Misty Blue is the big stag top left. It grows like crazy!! I like the blue background too but it is such a pain to keep clean.

Which clam Lanceafer? I have 6

Also I should mention fatrip took the photo for me. Thanks fatrip!

Check out this one he took of my bartletts anthias, I thought it came out really nice...

 

[PnoyReefeR]

TOTM for sure.. nice and clean and colors of the corals are wow!

 

[Lanceafer]

I don’t remember what it was exactly. The big yellow one on the bottom right, that showed up when you cleaned the glass.

when those SPS grow out a bit more, id also say future TOTM. looks great!

 

[nwrogers]

Thanks guys!

Lanceafer that is my Dersa clam. Wish I had a better photo to post. I will see what I can do

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

looks like you're on a roll, Nate. Congrats!
I need "Misty Blue"
those SPS on the overflow are very kewl lookin'.
Bartlett's look good- is that also a Lyretail in there? Is the top of the tank covered?
Tell us more about your system...
how are those powerheads set up (on/off etc. on wavemaker?) and how often do you do water changes. How big is the sump? What's your rate of calcium/alk consumption?

I know.... I should have come to the party

 

[Henry Colf]

Nate, your tank is sweeeeet!!!! How about some close ups of the different sps.

 

[nwrogers]

Gary I have a Lyretail, two Bartletts and, and a Dispar. Surprisingly the two that fight the most are the two Barletts. The tank is totally covered with a canopy/deflector so none of my nice fish can get out My powerheads were on an on/off timer but the shafts kept breaking every few months and I got tired of fixing them. I even had them on a nice "soft start" timer but that didn't help. Now they are just on all the time. I want to get a nice wavemaking device someday but I haven't yet. I do water changes about once every other month. Usually big water changes. I wish I did them more but I am too lazy. My sump is a 75 gallon tank with baffles in my basement and my calcium/alk consumption is unmanageable. I can barely keep it at respectable levels. Here is a new picture of my Lyretail...

Very nice Nate. Do you feed your corals ? If so what do you feed ? The colors are amazing.
