Skimmer after 2 days, i cannot compare this to the sc-65. i have both and the BM skims way more even though they use the same pump. the design is similar but its different.

Well its been almost a month and i acquired some new frags for my tank, Sadly i will be moving again in 2 weeks, hopefully it'll turn out better then the last move.




all the corals are doing good and encrusting very nicely, my strawberry shortcake does not seem to have any polyps out ever since i got him from RAP.


FTS as of 11/17/12

I have the Garf Bonsai and Pink Lemonade right next to each other in the center of my tank also as my "Center piece sps" and I love it. Its a great mix of colors to be next each other. The tank looks great! keep it up.

Ok guys, so some really big changes were made,


1. Moved houses
2. Reaquascaped
3. Less sand
4. Changed from 6bulb t5 to 250w Radium
5. dipped all my acros before i adding them to the tank just to be sure they had no pest, im good on this part!
6 moved all the electrical to a different stand. so the sump is neat
7. added a screen cover to the tank
8. i gave away all my fishes because i had ich and lost 2 acros when i moved


I kinda like this scape better, its a bit minimal and also i have no dead spots.

Very nice! Cool to see the different aquascapes and happy to see that you stuck with it through all of those moves. Sorry to hear about the ich battle, but sounds like you made the right decision to go fishless for awhile. Will be interesting to see how your corals react with the reduced nutrients. Staying put for awhile?!? ;)
