holy huge photos !
:eek2: :D :eek1:

winstew where you located...or did I miss it?

Oh...and how 'bout some details. Looks like you're off to a fine start!
 
I like the big pics... The macro setting is perfect on my camera... Anyways I bought the tank in early Feb and got it for a steal.. 72 Bowfront with stand and a coralife 65W dual 50/50 PC light for 350. Can't go wrong there. Anyways it took me a while to set it up.. you know wanted to make sure everything was good and I knew what I was doing... so It has been about 8 weeks since I started the cycle which went quick and I just added my clean up crew on Wednesday and I "aquired" a red scooter blenny that I'm not to sure about. It looks good but i dunno if it will do good in the new tank. I'm gonna try putting some brine in there when I get it so hopefully he makes it.

OH YEA that lettuce is freakin awesome............
 
I'm from Charlton, which is between Toga and Albany. very close to the corner of Rt 67 and RT 147 if that helps.
 
Welcome. Nice deal on the tank. I know right where you are, that is one of my favorite stretches of road.
 
try to get the red scooter blennie ( which is in the same family as the mandarin fishes and have same dietary issues) to eat frozen feeds- else it will starve likely in a new tank.
try mysid shrimp and even inriched brine shrimp.

make sure to add some nori sheets after the nudi has cleared the algae- which it doesn't look like you have a lot of anyway.

Glad you found the club. If you ask politely, you might get some free/cheap corals that will have a great chance of surviving.
 
Yea I actually had a lot of Brothellias (SP?) algae but the hermits and the nudi have made quick work of that.

Just ask nicely huh.. ar you hinting at something... lol. I was goign to wait a week or so until I put anything else in there. My new MH system is on the way so I'm excited to throw that on there.
 
yeah it's a secret handshake kinda thing.
Seriously though if you want a few testers I'm sure one of us will set you up. Where are you at? Fill in that part of your profile- helps people out.
 
OK profile filled in for everyone... If anyone is willing to donate by all means let me know. I have a 130W PC hood on there now, but as stated above the 500+W MH is coming soon......
 
Welcome Winstew !

Int eh future, you may want to link those big pictures or use thumbnails. Somepeople still are on Dialup or laptop computers, and those huge weight pics tend to bog down the load and scroll times on the browser.

Just a heads up :)
