[Lotus]

Looks really nice. I love the little flame angel.

 

[SdJaCK&SaLLy]

I really like your tank.

 

[1979camaro]

Agreed - the tank looks good! I also like the flameback. What sort of equipment are you running?

 

[quaddity]

Looks good! I see your GSP is attaching to another rock. Nice.

 

[noob23]

Wow, thanks for all of the feedback people, i am really loving this tank.
1979 camaro - I am running an whisper 30 filter, carbon only, and about 25 lbs. of LR. Might be switching the HOB filter with a BakPak skimmer soon. Doing 5g water change every other week.

I snapped a few more pics...

Brain

The "Fan Favorite" (Best i could do, hes very quick, and a little shy)

Better FTS

 

[1979camaro]

What sort of lighting?

 

[MatthewLaw]

great question Camaro, I was just going to ask that same question

 

[noob23]

Its not too good, a 36w PC 50/50. I need to upgrade, but i cant find anything better that will fit in my stupid little canopy. Im sticking with fairly low light soft corals and polyps.

Why don't you jsut get a DIY MH light.. Check this place out they sell ballast's super cheap!..

Advance Ballasts

Then just get a bulb off ebay and your all set

 

[Lotus]

I wouldn't really recommend MH on a small tank in SoCal. The heat will be a huge problem come summer, unless you have a bottomless wallet for a chiller or to keep your A/C low enough.

There's nothing wrong with sticking to lower light corals and enjoying them.

Nice angel, and good pics of him. The SW angels have always been about the hardest things I've found to photograph (wrasses too).

 

[zoalover34]

Looks nice, looks like the coraline is starting to grow on that front rock.. Did you make those rocks or drill out the center or something?

 

[noob23]

Yep lotus pretty much summed up my thoughts, i still get a small amount of heat transfer with this light in the summer.

New Frag, and lucky picture of the angel

It's about time for another update. j/k

Nope, those rocks were all natural. The two bigger pieces which the xenia and flowerpot are on are Tukani, which are my personal favorites. The rest is a mix of Fiji and Caribbean.
