Nice tank, I really like the stand

 

[Rendos]

A few new pictures. I added a bio-pellet reactor and started dosing amino acids and Oyster Feast. So far coral growth is decent...coloration is really getting nice.

And a few new top downs.

Very nice tank!

I would like to ask what you think of the CR-100? I just purchased a used one and will be setting it up soon.

 

[Rendos]

Thanks guys.
matty - I like the CR-100. It is very easy to set up and use. I control my CO2 with an APEX controller.

Tank is pretty much in maintenance mode. 10 gallon water change every week with Instant Ocean salt. Calcium reactor running, BioPellet Reactor, feeding heavily and adding amino acids and Oyster Feast daily. 5ml of Aminos and 5-7 ml of Oyster Feast. Lights are on for 8 hours, but white lights are only on for 4 hours.

Hey Richard, Tanks is looking great.

 

[Rendos]

Few updated pics.
P.S. if you ever want polyp extension, don't add a orange spot filefish. Very cool fish, but I haven't seen a SPS polyp since I added it.

 

[OneReef]

Wow, I had no idea how beautiful that file fish was when you told me about it. Nice!

 

[Blindside]

I thought they file fish were sps eaters for the most part? That one is beautiful

Carlos...He is INSANE wait until you hear the story behind this fish!!!!

 

[Rendos]

No story. I just always wanted one and read that they need to be in a tank with lots of SPS. You can get them to switch to prepared foods but they always need to have SPS polyps around in order to keep them long term. I have not seen any damage to any corals yet...just no polyp extension. I also have not seen him eat any prepared foods yet, but it has only been about 2 weeks now. I'll give him time. You have to admit, though, that is one gorgeous fish!

My wife bought me one at that fish store on whitten a few years ago, they told her it didnt eat coral? I wanted to keep it so bad, because they are sweet lookin, just didnt have the guts. Will be cool to see if it will take mysis and such.
