I took some pics of my tank with my fiancé's new camera. It is much better than the last one.
Here is some pics. I will be building a stand for my elos mini this weekend. I got some sweet rock last Friday from marco. I will be working on the structure this weekend and next week.
Skimmer working great!
how long does great skim like that full of foam last for, my skimmer did that in the beginning but now its not making much foam after a few months? just curious if yours is still consistently pulling crazy foam like that

IT has been skimming like this for about a month. Ever since I got this skimmer.
Sounds like your skimmer has cleaned up your system and that is a good thing. Mine will eventually catch up and slow down as well.

Thanks, how is your tank going? Haven't seen it in a while.
Can't wait to get some more frags. I got a nice flamethrower chalice that I am trading for a ton of nice stuff from a friend. I also have a bubble gum monster frag. I traded some dry rock for both.

I will be building the elos mini stand this weekned. I am looking forward to spending time with my uncle. I will also be working on my rock structure this weekned. 10 lbs of rock from marco is alot more than you think. I am leaning towards a bonsai look. The setup I bought I got a really good deal on. It didn't come with a stand so I had to build that. The tank has a couple minor screatches. So I will either keep the system or see it for a good price. I am leaning towards keeping it.

Stopped both. I started getting cyano. There was really no purpose for me to do it this early. Ever since I have stopped the cyano is disappearing. I might start it up again if I start getting algae issues. Right now I am just running a GFO reactor. I am still dosing 2 part with bulk reef supply dosers. I sold my other 2 dosers that were dosing vodka and MB7.

Got the stand built this weekend and stained it today. I am really happy with the way it looks. Not bad for the my first stand build. My uncle helped me out a lot. He has some very good craftmenship skills. All I did was draw it up, sand, drill holes, and stain. It is exactly like the the elos stand just higher quality. I used 3/4" thick alpine wood. The entire project with the hinges and stain was about $110. Here are some pics.
Here is the door handle. My uncles work.

Here are some pics of my tank.
I added a femal squarspot anthias that is doing very well. I have been feeding here three times a day. She eats very well. She is starting to show some male coloration. She is a lot brighter in person. In the picture she is kind of a dull orange. In real life she is brillant orange.
Like my new clown?

Thanks, yeah the dimensions are really nice.
Got my square spot to eat some spectrum pellets. Pretty excited that she is eating so well. I am really trying to fatten her up.
I am going to order soem more corals from sunnyx pretty soon.
I am debating on using warner marines new bio pellets as well. My tank is doing really well the way it is and I have no algae issue at the momment so I have the mentatlity if it isn't broken don't fix it.

Got a new member a couple of days ago. He is eating very well! Eating mysis and blood worms.
:bounce3:
Not a very clear picture. My SPS have a lot more color than this picture represents. My camera is garbage. Just showing my polyp extension.
Debating on running ecobak pellats. I have no algae issues or color issues at the moment, but I am feeding 75% more than I used to. About three times a day because of my squarespot and copperband. They are eating very well and I want to fatten them up.
I will post some pictures up tomorrow of my new aquascape. I didn't change much just a little bit so that it was more SPS friendly.
I plan on getting another frag pack ordered in the next 2 weeks to a month. I want to get about 15 more sps then I will just sit back and wath thme grow out.
Then I will work on my zoas collection.

:spin3:I have decided to go with some ecobak pellets. I have heard some good results with this brand of pellets and jon Warner is the man!!
I have plans for the summer to build a new stand and canopy. I really enjoy wood working and the only downside I can say for this tank is the stand and lack of canopy. I also hate that I don't have more than one light. I only run my MH for 6.5 hours a day so I am missing those VHO's:spin3: I really am going to have to think about my next lighting setup. I won't be able to keep my current large pendent becasue I have to have that thing so far above the water level that I would have to build a 2 foot tall canopy. I also realize that with a canopy I need to invest in a chiller. I am almost thinking about going all T5 since I will have to invest another $300-$400 for a chiller. Might as well sell my current light setup and buy 8 SLR with Ice cap ballasts.
I really want to redo my sump area and build a nice sump and have a clean plumming setup. I also want to build a water resevoir in my sump. I really enjoyed that with the elos mini. Mine looks like a nightmare.:eek2:
AS far as the stand goes I want to do a nice dark cherry color with some nice trim. Maybe throw some granite in there.

Thanks for teh complements! Yeah the clam is getting larger and developing brighter colors. I want to get some more clams sometime but I need to work on my SPS collection first.
Unfortunatly the blue spotted jawfish died this summer. He was a really cool fish to have and I miss him a lot. I will probably never get another one becasue they stir up the sand a lot in the tank. Very interesting fish though. I will post some pictures this weekned of my ecobak pellets. I should have ordered a phosphate meter, but I would rather save the money for a par meter for my lighting.
