New 220 gallon build

Thanks guys.

I am thinking of redoing the landscape, want to get rid of one huge rock and go with some more tonga branch so there are more 'mounting spots' for corals.

Okay... what's the first pic?

 

[KurtsReef]

Yes, I take a lot of photos

These are my two pink pocs...one is almost purple it is much deeper/darker color than the bright pink version

I spent some time cleaning the tank today, the glass has never really been clean since I got home. I also hooked up a second DC8 to the ACIII so now I can work on cleaning up the electrical cords in the cellar...cleaned the glass tube on the UV unit and put the pumps/heaters/reactors in some vinegar for the night.

A good cleaning of everything this weekend.

Anyway, you know the glass is clean so figured I would take some photos.

Some of my Acans

Clam

Then I notice the two yellow clown gobies hanging out together and then notice the eggs they have laid

 

[KurtsReef]

So I set up a couple strobes to get some better shots

Yellow fish with strobes is tough to expose well

 

[SkiFletch]

Yeah you take a lot of pics... Even the T3 here at work is crying :lol:

 

[KurtsReef]

Kept waiting, wanted a good "Mama and eggs" shot

Sorry Mike

I will try to refrain from adding so many shots.

Don't you dare!

This is great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

 

[block head]

congrats papa, great shots keep um coming

 

[SkiFletch]

Yeah, nuts to that, keep on shootin

 

[Kent E]

That is amazing! I always heard that these fish rip up sps while laying eggs. I guess that's a fallacy.

I won't keep a Clown Goby in my tank after what it did to my SPS. However, I don't mind looking at your pictures. You should sacrifice that coral and raise those fry - I don't know of anyone that has raised them yet.

 

[KurtsReef]

Kent, it did kill the one inch area the eggs are laid on. I am not overly concerned about it due to it being a good sized and pretty fast growing piece. If it were a 4" frag of a slow grower then I guess it would put me off a bit.

Mel, I posed the question "have you tried this, what did you do" in the reef fishes forum. I do plan on giving it a try, just looking for advice. Did a search here and no threads matched.
