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

Haha thanks guys!! I was hoping this thread would turn into something fun ;) very exciting to see who gets tagged next and check out their awesome tank!
Something else that came out of this thread that I find very informational (that I didn't even think of) is that we get to know members names behind the sn. I like that.

Beautiful tank Casey! I love rimless tanks ;) did those caps all start from frags and grew in that tank? The grow on those are insane!! What's your tank dimensions? I'm curious.

I had some help on the caps from psychobowler Glen. Thanks Glen. They have been growing nicely in my tank though too. My tank diminsions is 48x18x21 (20 inches tall at the waterlevel).

I don't have Chris and Hannah's phone number to inform them of the tagging. I was trying to think of somebody who doesn't show off their tank too often so we can get a sneek peek of it.

I will withdraw my tagging of Chris and Hanna for someone to tag them later. I want to tag a different person. A person who's tank is like the chupacabra, nobody has really caught a glimpse of it.......

I am tagging Hugo (HV1990)!!! You're up!
 
Hello from Hawaii! This sounds like an awesome idea for a thread!

We would accept the tag except but we do not have any pictures of our setup with us on this trip. So, we will be more than happy to accept a tag later on in the thread. We will be home in a few days so we will be back in the game then!

We haven't had the best of luck with catching fish this year for our aquarium. Turns out that most fish are too stupid to figure out how to get to the bait inside a trap. We have had unseasonal really large swells on even the most protected beaches, which has made snorkeling and fishing difficult. We have had some luck with tiny hooks and some squid bait, but no fancy fish so far, just a damsel, a few unknown fish, and a file fish (we think). We really aren't sure what we caught but we did get a bunch of new types of macros! So far the biggest thing we have caught is a pair of nice sunburns...:furious:
Chris also had two complete and total wipeouts on the lava rocks while tide pooling. The surf has been much higher than normal.

I knew those humongous montiporas looked familiar! Haha, glad to see they are getting even bigger. Sweet. I had to give them away because they ate up too much of my real estate. I have mostly acros in my 300.

That was my thinking. Pick somebody who hasn't posted many pictures of their tank. You have a nice tank so i'm glad you decided to show it off!
 
Starting a comeback

Starting a comeback

Okay so here is the deal. My hubris bit me in the @$$... I thought I could skip a few water changes, not clean out my sump and all would be well.... Well I was wrong and my reef tank has suffered. However I will pick my head up and keep up my maintenance.

Well first off lets take a look at the new sump. From left to right.
Drain and skimmer. The middle has a baffle in the middle that is movable. This is for new fish that come in. Let them get accustom to the water and allow to observe. I got this idea from 79choopper... And then the return. I run 2 pumps in this section. A Water Blaster 7000 that feeds my DT as well as my Ca RX. The Ca RX is a Korallian 1502 that I got from Fishnerd. Been rock solid ever since. The second pump is a mag 5 that feesd two 2LFS reactors with carbon and GFO. It also what feeds my chiller.




Now lets see a FTS. (sorry for the crappy phone pics) This was just with actinics....



Lets turn on the lights... =)


Ah much better. Well as you can see I am still trying to get my nitrates under control. This will take a bit since I keep adding fish..
Lets get some close ups. well not true macro shots but better than nothing

Now the one on the right is a personal favorite Red Planet. Now not in its prime since my Thalassoma lucasanum kept knocking it over I finally found a a new home for it.


Well I was going to start listing all the coral but,,,, Yah I don't want to keep looking up the names so here are the pics.













Well your probably asking what about the fish. Well here is a rundown

Halichoeres claudia
Halichoeres annularis
Halichoeres melanurus
Halichoeres garnoti
Halichoeres chrysus
Thalassoma lucasanum
Cirrhilabrus solorensis
Macropharyngodon bipartitus
Pseudocheilinus ocellatus

But wait there's more fish. (non wrasse)zomg I know
Chromis atripectoralis
Acanthurus mata
 
Thanks for sharing Hugo.
I was beginning to think you forgot about this thread, haha jk.
That sump design is very nice. How old is that clam? It looks huge!
 
Alright members, let's keep this thread Rollin. Please, if you get tagged and want to play along, please do it within 2 days of getting tagged, sooner the better, so this thread can continue to be fun and exciting. Thanks!
 
Haven't forgotten. Between the frag swap, losing 75% of my fish this last week and having to medicate my gigantea carpet I've been swamped. And today's my son's 13th birthday. I'll have an update by Monday if not later tonight.
