My 50

[koifishy]

Did you get a tank mate for your pipe fish yet?

I have added several fish.
First I added a rainsford goby. A very peaceful fish.
Then I added a swissguard basslet about 6 months ago.
I think I've seen it 5-6 times total.
About 3 months ago I added 2 banggai cardinals.
I think I may have 2 males, cause they don't like each other much.

Took a few random pictures in my 50 tonight.

I miss a tank with the emphasis on zoanthids.
I will still do some branching LPS, infact I just ordered a really nice orange octo and orange branching hammer. ( should come next week)

I also bought a ATI T5 6 x 24 watt fixture for the tank.

COOL ! Looking forward to seeing it once wet again.... maybe get down to see in person even.

Cheers, Todd

I also want to get it into condition again to keep pipe fish.
That may take a while.
I'm going to try and keep it fishless until then.
See if that works for me.

Some new pictures.
At first I couldn't figure out how I wanted to hang my new ATI T5 fixture.
I didn't want to hang it from the ceiling or use a shelf hanger from the wall, so I just adapted my Radion hanger I made, and using materials I had on hand.








So this is with 2 ATI Blue Plus bulbs on and the diy leds a friend made for me. They are 10 blue and 2 uv emitters.
The other 4 bulbs in the fixture are all Blue Plus.
Hope to go with a combination of mostly zoanthids, although I have the hammers and octospawns, a couple chalice and favias.

Once I get the white balance figured out for this color temp, I can get some detailed pictures of the corals. Right now the colors are way off for close ups.
