Feel free to let me know if there is anything you think I need to with the aquascaping etc... It's a 72gal bowfront in case you're wondering.

Nice job! How long has your tank been running?

 

[rxonco]

About four months. Most of it came from a 30gal tank I had for about a year and a half. I transferred everything along with about 75-100 lbs more of live rock that I had bought from another MARSHian. The only thing that's not visable is the tube anenome. Of course, it picks today to not want to come out from underneath the sand.

Your tank looks very nice 8O What kind of lights are you using in your tank, and what kind of camera did you use to take those pics.

I'm using the Helios T-5 NO's. I've got 3 daylight and 3 actinic plus. Doesn't really give me quite what I'd like, but for the price, I've been pretty happy so far. Everything has been growing steadily. I know it would be much more and much better with the VHO or MH but I just wasn't ready to jump into that just yet. The main reason I went with these is that you don't need a ballast to run them. It's all included. All I had to do was screw in the brackets onto my reflector and plug them in.

As for the camera. It's a Kodak cx6330 3.1 mega pixel. Once again, you can pay more and get better, but I'm pretty satisfied with this model.

Very nice, and everything looks very happy. You have some very nice colonies. One day when my tank grows up, I hope it looks that good

agreed. i just purchased some HO T5s online. I hope they look as bright in my tank and can grow a variety such as yours. nice candy coral. it looks like you have a few zoo frags here and there. did you do that yourself?

 

[rxonco]

I got my first zoo frag at the last meeting. I couldn't find a good spot for them so I just fragged the frag and put them here and there.

The tube was out this morning...
