So much for the 1 year update...

[Satori]

I was waiting until next month to do a "My tank at one year" picture thread, but I was going through the old photos and I just had to post this.

Here's my 180 when I first set it up: (the photo is stitched, so the fish appear multiple times)

And here it is today after 11 months. All the same corals as above, only bigger.

Thanks Chris

You realy think you can fool us? You have a 10 gal nano, cut and paste 20 shots, airbrush a little and tell everybody you have a 180. At least you coulda brushed out one powder and 2 sailfins for credibility. Nice looking tank if it was for real, lol

Very nice Mike! Is that Monti near the back left corner from Ed? Is it the one with the green base and red polyps? If it is...it originally came from me but somehow I managed to sell all that I had. That stuff sells like crazy around here...more than Tyree LE coral's!

 

[Satori]

Thanks Bob, are you talking about the encrusting monti that's growing onto the back glass on top behind the blue tort?
BTW, the blue tort just to the left of the hydnophora is yours.

I am talking about the one underneath that purple ring cap on the let side the tank. It is the branching one...really really red!

 

[Satori]

Ah, that's a common orange digi. For some reason it has turned redder than the orange cap.

I do a 25 gallon water change every 3-5 weeks. I only dose some iodine, when I remember. I feed the fish 2 cubes of frozen food per day plus nori.
I have an Aqua-Medic CR-1000 calcium reactor, ER 8-2 skimmer, a 1/3 hp chiller, 30 gallon fuge, and a Neptune AC-JR controller to run it all.
