Beautiful set up....

Thanks!

Thanks.

That was amazing. The colors are very rich. Does your BTA look that green in person?
Thanks.
The BBT, as the other yellow/green stuff in the vídeo, is a bit oversaturated.
To correct the blueish in the vídeos I use a yellow filter, so the yellows (plus the greens) screams.....
It was a little test and I didn't try sooooo hard to correct it.
Plus, I like it that way...:)

Beautiful tank. Awesome song choice too.
Thanks Sam.
I was looking at your setup other day......Very neat and well executed project. You're doing a very good job.
I'm looking to see it full of water!
And the black plumbing is a plus.... I love it.

I like this song a lot too......I hear it in a television series or in a movie, that I'm desperately trying to remember which one.....even the Wiki didn't help me at this....:(

Looking good Alex.
Could you remind again which program you use for the video editing?

I decided to give the Green Chromis another shot, but this time I’ll do it in a little different way.
I got 15 small fishes at once, and put them in my frag tank a month ago.
In my tank I already had 6 fishes, 3 bigs and 3 mediums.
The new ones are very small, some of them with a less than ½ inch of length. They’re arrived a little thin and 2 of them died in the first night.
After that I started to feed them 6, 7 and sometimes, 8 times a day.
After a week, I did this first video of them:



After almost a month in the frag tank I decided to put them in the display tank, due to the arrival of a new fish.
Until now the older ones are not harassing the new ones, but one of the group of 6 previous fishes, died 2 weeks ago. So, now I have 18 fishes.
They spend most of their time in the upper part of the big island, where some of my bigger acros are, specifically my Blue Oregon tortuosa.



The fishes are healthy, eating well and slowly growing.
I hope that the growth of the acros plus the bigger group lead me to a success that I didn’t get until now.
Now I’m thinking about to add a dozen more fishes, to get a really big group. My Discus experience show me that some fish really needs a bigger group to get well.
I’ll keep posting about it.

Bed time.




Regards,
Alex

Thanks so much I’m flattered you even took the time to look at my thread!

Love the new chromis videos. They’re so active I could watch em all day. Lucky your tank is big enough to house a school of fish. How fun.

I like them a lot...they give the tank so much color and movement.
I hope that this time I have a better luck with them.

Since the beginning I want that this tank shows some biodiversity.
Choose fishes that are reef safe and skips the common sense of: tangs+tangs+clowns=reef tank is a very hard task.
Recently, after a friend got a Bluethroat triggerfish I decided to give it a shot.
The Picasso trigger is one of my favorite fishes off all, but I need something that don't destroy my corals.
Looking at some threads I discover the Pinktail triggerfish (Melichthys vidua) a potentially reef safe triggerfish which have a very interesting color, body shape, swimming pattern and personality........Everything that I wanted in a fish!

So, I give it a try:

Last week I did some minor changes in the layout,
I remove a lot of things that are laying in the sandbed. I glued some, removed some to the frag tank and sold some.
Now things are back in the track again.
It's hard to keep the tank from turn into a coral shop display or a deposit.
No big changes was made but I'm a lot happier now.
Plus, the new fishes always brings the tank some fresh....air....
Hope you enjoy.



Alex.
