Hey there! Love your tank! I'm also from the PNW. (Maple Valley to be exact.) I am currently trying to finish up putting together my first ever tank. Yours is very inspirational.

Thanks and good luck with your new addiction.

Sure is. I only spent about 15 minutes making it. 45 if you count glue drying time.

I took a few more top downs tonight to make up for the ones my camera didn't save yesterday.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I like taking pictures of the tank far more than I like working on it. :) I need to take another FTS. I can't believe how much some of my corals have grown in the last two months.

I love the way that highlighter stag or slimer looks over the purple pocci and that nice blue clam! Nice shots!

It's a "growing like a weed Green Slimer". I tend to keep one end of my tank more colorful because it's closer to where my wife sits.

Awesome tank trido! Love the videos, pics and the great DIY projects you've done!

Thanks I've done quite a few DIY's over the years. Kalk mixers, Ca reactors, Tanks, and the list goes on. I like to buy my equipment for the most part now days.

Any time you're this far north let me know. I'll try to whip up a tank tour for you.

March FTS. My corals are really starting to gain some momentum over the last few months.

Looking great! Don't you love it when everything starts just taking off?!

I sure do. All my SPS are loving my set up this time around. Most of my zoa's that I'm hoping to get going are not liking my super clean water.

I've gotta come see this tank some day..

Ive been threatening to have a North Sound Reefers meeting here. I'd call it a PSAS meeting but would be afraid of 60 people showing up.

I had another large store credit yesterday and added a few more fish since I dont have much more room for corals. SPS anyhow. I added two zoa colonies that caught my eye. Green Bay Packers and King Midas. For fish I added two orange spot sand sifter gobies, a flame angel (crossing my fingers that its not a coral nipper) and two Wrasses. One is a solar wrasse from the LFS and the other is a misc. Fairy Wrasse I picked up at Petco for $20 while getting dog food.

Its always stressful to watch the introduction dynamics for the first day....

My Kole Tang is the only fish that really seems to dislike the flame angel and the Saphire Damsels are picking on the Gobies and wrasses. The Fairy wrasse is making a good effort to establish some ground but its very small. The Solar wrasse is struggling very hard to even pop out for a second before the larger wrasses in the tank chase it back under the frog spawn. Unfortunately for that wrasse, the frogspawn is in the "feeding" end of the tank and is desirable territory for all the established fish.

Oh, on another note. I also treated my tank for Red Bugs yesterday. I can already tell that my Loripes and Lokani are having better polyp extension. They are about the only corals that showed the effects of red bug. That and my macro photography.
