Looking awesome! I just picked up my 120g yesterday so looking at this is a true inspiration!

Thanks Guys. It has turned out pretty good so far. I still need a wave maker so I can get rid of the powerheads. This is a tough hobby for a full time student from the upgrade from my 75 to this 120 through used equipment and trades the display filters, skimmer, lights, sump, pumps, etc. for about $1000. Hows that for a 120 budget. :)

Sorry aboout the clam. But dont beat yourself, you mastered everything else! You have some huge colonies which is really nice to see. I'm looking at your thread, oh he just started and then boom, tank full of goodies. Nice work. And just watched the video. What is that fish in the left hand corner? A wrasse? It is awesome!

 

[dtpollard]

Yeah it is a Mystery Wrasse. I like him a lot. The clam died from doseing to try to cure a fish. My fault. Those big Pagodas have been with me for around 16 years now. They have grown quite a bit over the years.

Well it is about the 1 and half year mark and my tank although it needs new bulbs pretty much runs itself and looks pretty good too.
