Some tank shots

[Spongie]

Hi guys and gals,

Just thought I would share a few pictures of my tank at work (I know I am lucky enough to have a boss that doesn't mind me keeping one). Please try to ignore any algae or aptasia present in said photos. Also these were taken with an iphone and edited with an iphone app. So no fancy macro lenses on these pics (I'm just jealous of all those with fancy macro lenses).


Hope you all like them. Cheers :beer:

Looking super! What's the red/orange thing on the bottom to the right of the Dendros ( in pic # 4)? And when will you be fragging it!!!

 

[Spongie]

Those are red blastos. They are the same ones from the Aquarium's display tank. I finally (after a year and a half of begging) got them to frag them for me. I will probably wait and see if I can get them to grow out some before I frag them as blastos don't always do to great with fragging. I will let you know if I plan on bringing one to the swap.

looks good! is this a 75? what lighting are you using?

 

[Spongie]

Thank you, and yes sir this is a 75. I am using the Current Orbit Fixture 2x150 watt MH (14k Phoenix) with 2xPCF (420x460nm) Actinics.

Very nice.

I'd bet it looks really good in person. Nice work!

 

[Spongie]

Thanks everone. I really want to get better about keeping my calc and alk in check but it seems to be pretty hard for me to find the time to do all that. I am sure I would get better growth if I did though. I have an AquaMedic doser but I haven't set it up yet. I may just use it on my new tank and continue to dose by hand with this tank. Anybody have any experience setting one of these up?

 

[digidana]

dang, looks great! does the boss give you a sw allowance to keep it up? i want your job!

 

[Spongie]

No the boss doesn't buy anything really, he did help pay for some live rock and the original light fixture, but I have purchased everything else.
