Just uploaded this pic from my camera.
During the winter months I get some sun in the tank during the aerly morning. The corals seem to enjoy that

A better picture showing the progression of my system.

The birdsnest is growing:

The little goby loves it here

Enjoy!

Very nice. Glad it's going so well for you.

Nico,

Do you find that the goby irritates the coral?

Thanks!

 

[belgian_waffleman]

Scott,

the goby is so small the polyps don't event retract when it lands on them. Plus it has lots of places for it to sit.

SWEET TANK!!!!!!!!!!

 

[belgian_waffleman]

I rescaped the tank a few weeks ago. as someone else stated, change is good

The tank is doing good (knock on wood) all parameters are where I want them to be, I keep up with the water changes and other husbandry.

The pink birds nest keeps growing rapidly and a my war coral is finally on the road to recovery after loosing a few battles when it fell onto other corals.

and I finally got a good picture of my blue hippo tang.

I will take a FTS tonight, it's been a while since I posted a full shot.

Looking good, birdsnest looks like he really likes it there. Not sure what a war coral is but boy does it look good (I may have to get one). Nice job. - Mark

lots of color!

 

[Conesus_Kid]

Beautiful mixed reef!

 

[belgian_waffleman]

new addition, more color:

This is a favia with teal centers. I don't know the real name.

Wow it's hard to believe but my system is almost a year old. I have not made any hardware changes at all since the start of the project.
I will replace my fans in the canopy because these ICE cap ones are very noisy imo, even at lower speeds.

Here is an updated FTS.

Critique and/or suggestions are welcome!

Nice job. Watch out for the xenia spreading. I love xenia but it can take off quickly.

 

[belgian_waffleman]

It's been a while...

I keep fighting the Xenias and mushrooms. Soon I will add certain zoo's to the list as well.:hammer:

I've been scraping off the back of the tank, I like the effect and will continue to do so until it's all gone.
