Thanks Nick! It did not always look like that, it was bleached
when I first got it...a little TLC and it is looking healthy again :D
 
I love this thread, and am likely to "invest" to become a club member.

Are most people using T-5s or Halides? It seems that with the shallow depths that T-5s would work well and help avoid heat issues.
 
Some updated shots after some new additions... I need to get a better camera so I can get some nice shots of the corals though. I picked up an ORA Red Planet, Hawkins, and Roscoe's that all look very nice... but my junky P&S won't pick them up.

LOVE it!!! Kind of a show off..................You KNOW I want to join the club toooooooooooooooo!!! :) Great job tj.
 
Wow Tswifty8, you have a sweet clam collection going there :)


Nick I love that side shot, I didn't realize your tank has so much space in the front like that, its really nice and open. refreshing in a way the invokes larger oceans....
 
Thanks my g/f keeps an eye out for them... So far she's picked out all 3. Since I downgraded to a nano I need something to keep my interest now that all my favorite fish are out of the picture. I tired to keep a good bit of the sandbed open with my aquascape, because eventually I'd like to cover most of it in clams. :lol:

Right now I'm using an 250w DE Aqualine AB 10K Bulb... I'd like to switch to a 20K so I can really get the colors popping though.
 
Here are a few pics of my 112g. Its already a little outdated, since a bunch of frags have been added.

resembles the 190, doesnt it? Just 2' shorter.
 
I plan on getting rid of all the tangs. Its not really fair for them, but I downgraded from a 190g, so I DID have plenty of room. I did get rid of 6 fish already to my credit, lol. I would really like to go with nothing but anthias, and my pair of clowns.... Maybe a mystery wrasse.

Im not really sure to be honest, though... I do know Id like to have a tank full of anthias only, but Im attached to my clowns, since they were my first fish.
 
Joe it's funny there are like 10 members with "shallow reef club" in their sig that have never posted here. WTH?
 
Updated pic nothing special

It's been a while since I've posted anything here or seen it come up in my post notification. I thought I'd better post before I have my SRTC card pulled. Ha Ha....... ;)

I added a MP20 and can get about a 1/2" wave........
