+1 full tank shot!

Love the brain and hammer man!

 

[Derbird]

Thank you for kind words. That brain is my pride and joy And that hammer has grown from a 1 head frag to a 10 head beast. It is splitting a new head every other week right now


I'll try for a full tank shot. Its a challenge of a 125. 6' long and 20" tall. Makes for a funny long bright streak between the hood and stand, but I'll try

Well I did my best :doh:

And just for fun a zoa rock

Hey, very nice! I like that frag rack. And that zoa rock, is out of place in your tank. I think it would look better in mine lol!

Yea ummm..... :nono:

Its a Thrive frag tree. Many LFS carry them now, and they are only $20. The only down side is they use suction cups but I don't want to lose magnets in my overflow so the suction cups work out well for me

Hows the tank coming along. would love some updated pics. Anything new in there?

FTS looks great!!

Thanks guys. I haven't been adding too much to the tank. I have been working on upgrading my lighting. I did find a little something I liked though

I bought a 8 bulb tek light

I'm just saving up for the bulbs now but this should rock my 125. I see clams in my future

I also got the fish that started me on Saltwater. I waited almost a year for my tank to mature enough but I now have a stunning male Mandarin Dragonet I can watch him peck at the rocks all day long.

And I am a bit parinoid abut being sure he has enough food. He is picking at cyclopeez and I have a fourty gallon refugium under my tank. But I have no idea how many pods make it to the main display. So just to be safe I picked up a HOB refugium from a fellow reefer to really explode my pod population. I know I probably don't need this but I figured it couldn't hurt anything to have more macro and LR rubble in the system so why not.

Hum, I guess I have added more to my system they I though LOL

Very nice additions Thomas, 8 lamps should make a huge dif in being able to support any type of corals/clams now. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.

Cheers, Todd

Looks great! Ive been looking for a welso with red in it like that.

 

[IPisces]

Thats a nice light unit. You can keep clams under that for sure. Congrats on getting the mandarin. They are such pretty fish.

You are getting dialed that light will be a great addition to a really nice DT
What bulbs are you thinking?:flame:

Thank you. I am a little worried about quadrupling my lighting but I figure start with a few hours and slowly increase it and hope not to burn my corals to a crisp :target:. I will finally be able to get more then just softies and hardy LPS (not that I'll will stop with those, I love my zoa's and LPS)



I'm planning on copying a friends lighting combo. They have absolutly insain color and everything looks out of this world in their tank.

4 ATI Blue Plus
2 ATI Aquablue Special
2 ATI Purple Plus

I like the ATI bulbs. They are affordable and seem to be built very well

 

[iroll253]

I agree ati imo makes the best bulbs i also sometimes pair them with uvl also.

Great looking tank!
