Updates 9/1/2011

I haven't done much but add some new corals to the tank. I want to use biopellets but I'll probably have to wait for a nice christmas present! I just thought I'd share some photos of the coral growth and new corals. I'm going to need to start dosing something soon if I keep buying them at this rate!

this little nub is getting bigger fast. I love the blue tips!

pink milli is looking good

my first coral frags I did myself. I'm so proud! hoping to trade these guys when they grow out a little more

great jawfish pic

clowns are getting big

My last anthias. He's the only one that would eat well. I'm not sure I will get anthias again. even feeding 3 times a day wasn't enough unfortunately. I think the female that died may have had internal parasites.

my kole tang has easily doubled in size since I got him!

Update 12/1/2011

I know it's been awhile so I figure I'd do an update. Things have been going great! I finally got the new red sea algae control test kit so I know my actual nitrate and phosphate values! Nitrate is at 0.875 ppm and phosphate is at 0.06ppm so it's not too bad. I still do run GFO so it helps a bit. I would really love to do biopellets but we'll see what kind of money I get for Christmas.


As for equipment, I just added the new hydor smart wave and I love it! so much fun! I want to get 2 smaller koralia evolutions to put on it as well. I was thinking a couple of 750s to go with my 1400s. Right now I have the smart wave set on 1 minute alternating pumps. My corals and fish really seem to enjoy it and there's no more crazy flow that disturbs my goniopora.

This frogspawn if finally taking off and loves his new position. so beautiful!

bubble coral frag is doing really well. I need to get pvc to keep it upright though so I don't have to use empty snail shells lol

my ricordia is FINALLY splitting!!!

purple monti cap is growing well.

christmas favia has really colored up since I got it

this acro is finally coloring up nicely. It has great hues of purple/blue and green

my pink millepora is showing some green coloring

these zoanthids are finally content. something was bothering them big time but they're ok now.

some frags of my miami hurricane zoa colony

whatever this acro is is doing well

my birdsnest is not doing so well so I fragged it

new fish, tailspot blenny

only one carberryi anthias left but he's so pretty!

kole tang is fast and is getting big!

Looking great! I am still in process with my 125G but it should be up in a couple weeks. I like the rock work having lots of open fish swim room. I am going to try accomplish that too while still having room for my corals.

Looking good! Nice progress.
