I miss seeing the little green mouths though :(, but i'll take it.

Pulled out the camera today and decided I would try shooting a few fish pics since I rarely ever take the time to get a good shot of them. Corals don't move so it's a lot easier :).

Awesome tank, you've got a lot of growth. I have a RSR 250 also.

It was a fish picture kind of night.















I took a few corals pics too!

Can we get a FTS?

Can we get a FTS?

Absolutely.

Tank is still doing well, and I'm seeing more polyp extension as some acros are waking up after a long time of no growth. I almost forgot what encrusting and branching looked like on a few of them.

Added a few new things to the system over the weekend as well. Will be interesting to see how the new things grow.

Very nice!

Daelie, I see 4 fish in the FTS, is this all you want to stock?

In the tank right now I have only 2 small tangs, 2 clownfish, and a purple firefish. Wouldn't mind adding something else, but I find myself decently picky when it comes to picking out fish that I really like. Maybe a springeri damsel since they're generally supposed to be decently peaceful.

Fantastic tank! Sorry if you mentioned this somewhere, but what is your bulb combination for T5's? Also is this a hybrid?

 

[daelie]

Thanks. Not a hybrid, just running T5s. Bulb combo is 4 blue+, 2 actinic, 1 coral+, 1 purp+.

@daelie last FTS was March 18. Five months. Can we get a recent one?

Do your tangs show any aggression towards each other or other fish?

No, definitely not towards each other and I haven't seen them do much to other fish.

Removed the sand, turned up the flow a little bit, things have restarted growing since my tin dropped back to 0. I did have to cut some tips to actually see some growth, but it surely sucks that things were dormant for so long or especially the things that died. But here's a few pics, first one right before I removed the sand which was relatively recent.

Also I added a frag tank that has quickly filled up as well.

Few more pics.

So did you do some water changes to bring the tin down? Did the Tin actually cause some corals to die?
