Tag, YOU'RE IT!! Everyone play along, will be fun!

Tagged by WES. Great. Not an easy act to follow. Beautiful tank as always Wes. Unfortunately I will be out of town most of the week and won't be able to have anything (pictures) until beginning of next week. So I will have to tag Mario (marflo530) for now and will gladly accept a tag back. FYI. As most of you know I have been "MIA" do to laziness. With that said. Not too happy with my tank. Tons of dying corals :( Die off SPS 20%, Chalice 40%, Z and P 30%, LPS 70% and Softies 50%. Yea sucks but still in the hobby :) Hope this tag will encourage me to get off my butt..lol.. till next week if I get tagged back. Have a nice week guys.
 
wow wes!!! that's tank is just awesome!! pics looks wayy better than i last saw it. sorry about the losses, but i guess it was getting too crowded in there anyways ;)
thanks for sharing though, i want to see the lighting set up. no need for the lightnings, just a pic of the lighting set up will do :p lol
 
My lightening isn't the one with the pattern, but it is one of the offsprings. I purchased it when they were first available and wasn't about to spend 10,000 for ones with the pattern. Funny how supply and demand work, you can get the pattern ones for the same price as I paid for the non pattern one :crazy1: I wonder what the masked angles will go for in 5 years?

Thx for sharing!
 
I am sure the interupptus nips here and there along with the bandit and regal. They are really a hit and miss. My temp is low due to many of the fish I keep who resides in cooler temp area.

If it's gonna take longer than few days, just tag someone else that way the thread keeps going. Thanks

And yes I need to get my tanks going. Both my tanks takes 4-6 guys to move it and I've been having a hard time getting my friends to wanna help. Lol. But on Halloween, they're all coming cuss there's gonna be food and beer.... Perfect time to make them help lol.

Thanks Wes. This is a pretty bad time for me as well, but I know if these threads start bogging down they can come to an dead stop quickly. And I love looking at everyone's tanks here in the Sac area. We have many good ones and a lot of knowledge behind them. So, I would like to dedicate my portion of this thread to Tim (tfp), because more than any other reefer and any other resource, I feel it was he that has lead me most to the place that I am at with this current tank. Obviously nowhere near perfect, but better than the last tank I had and closer to what I really enjoy keeping.

This is the only current pic I am taking for this thread, but the others are only a couple months old. FTS is from tonight:



This shallow 40 gallon tank from Advanced Acrylics is now a little over a year and a half old. Finally, some of the frags that I have acquired I have started to grow into small colonies. All corals in my tank come from vendors or other hobbyist and all started has frags. Because this tank is so small I quickly ran out as a rock space for the Acropora that I wanted to keep, so about a year ago I turned my focus more towards interesting LPS corals. This has been a little bit of a new experience for me, as I have really not kept many LPS in the past. But, it has also been a learning experience and kept me quite interested during the long lull of slow growth associated with Acropora frags.

Tank info: Advanced Acrylics 40 gallon shallow tank(14" deep). I purchased the tank and stand from a Reefer here in Northern California. The dimensions are 32 X 20 X 14
Sump: 20g. Bubble Magus- 2 section sump w/ 3 baffles
Skimmer: Seaside Aquatics CS5.5
Flow: 2mp40w on the sides and 2 small tunze low on the back behind the rockwork to keep detritus from collecting under the structures.
Lighting: Geissman Infinity 250w w/4 T5 and 2 reefbright LEDs on the front and back.
Dosing: 2 BRS Dosers for Ca and Alk and manual additions of Mag.
Controller: Apex Lite Controller.
Top-off: Tunze and a 5g. reservoir that automatically fills from my RO
Maintenance info: I am on a 2-3 gallon water change every other day schedule right now that has been working well for me. I do small cleaning jobs along with a water change on occasion. Rarely do I do a big cleaning, as I am going for stability with this practice.
Stock list: Heavy stocking for a 40g, most from my last larger tank, that works well with my regular small WCs.
Fish: Melanarus Wrasse, pretty big Magnificent Foxface, Copperband Butterfly, 2 cardinals and a blue/green chromis.
Corals: SPS- primarily deepwaters, but others as well. LPS-primarily Chalices and Favias, but a few odds and ends here as well.
