new pics! (56K watch out)

[mr pink floyd]

Its a 29 gallon tank, 150 DE, 2x65 watt PC actinics, mj 400 modded for flow(Feels like at least 900 GPH or more), DIY stand, 4 gallon HOB fuge with about 5 lbs LR, 10 LBS LS, cheato, Xenia, carbon

tank has ~45 lbs mixed LR, 50 LBS southdown, cleanup is 12 nassarious, 12 cerinth, 1 brittle star

fish: cinnamon clown, hi fin red banded goby

goby added a week ago yesterday, is doing good, eating, out almost all day, clown is about 3 weeks old. Im slowly re-stocking after my july 4th crash(heat)
im planning on adding a firefish as my next fish, then after that im not sure, looking to keep 4 fish, maybe another goby, but i only want one until i start building my canopy, which will house an aqualight retro(24" 150 DE)

any fish suggestions would be great

corals are 3 digis, 1 gorgonian, zoa dominated, palys, ricordea, 1 toadstool, Neon GSP(need to get it off a main rock before it over frows the zoo area)

working to make this an SPS/clam/zoa(and palys)/ric tank, sps on the left, zoas and others on the right side, i may keep some softies on the sand to grow and sell, so i can keep myself going in this hobby

History: Tank is 2 years old, reef since february, only 2 crash in its history, i now have temp controlled much better

sorry for some bad pics, colors are really off in some, the tank isnt as blue as it looks in the actinics!

not sure what the white on the side of the stand is, on the top it is salt creep(just did water change) and the door i just got lazy painting the top of the plywood and inside
Stand with doors open

Shot inside the stand

Messed up colors, the rics glow like that, but are all orange, not as pinkish

Growth Comparison of green digi (2 months old)

its growing a new arm under one fo the old ones, base has spread out about 3 mm all around, and arms have grown 2-3 mm each, not bad

not sure why the digi came out so brown in this picture

thanks,

Mike

[mr pink floyd]

Is that supposed to be funny? That is how you can get banned from the site and have the police knocking at your door!!!

 

[mr pink floyd]

he was a nice person, i posted this in reef club forum where other pics are but it is NOT a credit card

Why do you have hockey pucks in your stand? I recognize them from being hit in the head by them more than once. Hey, that could explain a few things.

 

[Salty Brother]

very nice, cant wait to see canopy done

 

[mr pink floyd]

not sure why i have them in my stand... found them in my room, was to lazy to put them in the bucket downstairs with the other 50 or so i have

so i just put them there, adn yea, ive taken a few hits with them too

used to play goalie, then a nasty pond hockey incident(no helmet) didnt lose teeth luckily
