Project 65 underway.....(Lots o' pics)

[Blazer88]

Here is a picture of the top of the tank. This gives you a good idea of the acrylic pieces I had cut and how my fans are situated. Here is also an updated shot of the whole tank. I've added probably about 20 pounds of rock and a few new fish; a Coral Beauty and a Kole Tang. And don't mind the box over my goni, he's in rehab I'm really happy how everything turned out. I'm hoping to pick up some new corals during the frag swap as well. Sorry about the large pics!

Jiddy -

And don't mind the box over my goni, he's in rehab

Blazer88 - Looks great!!

 

[Blazer88]

I bought the goni without doing any real research on it and found that I haven't been giving it the best of care. That was my first and last impulse purchase. It was in high light and flow and it's polyps were never extending. So I built the box to reduce flow and make spot feeding possible at night. I'm hoping I can slowing increase the flow and light as it recovers, but we'll see. And thanks for the comments, this tank is way more fun than more my previous 26 gallon

Nice looking setup there Blazer. I enjoy seeing the fine work being done by reefkeepers everywhere, and your setup is very nicely done. Congratulations!

I am looking at a 200 to 240 myself, this winter, and I don't if I will be able to stand all the fun!

Keep it up, and Happy reef keeping > Wave98

Very very nice Blazer88. Keep an eye on that nice coralline I see there...Jiddy is on the hunt for some (LOL)

It's pretty funny to dig this old thread up and see those old pics. The tank sure looked bare when I first set it up and I think it has progressed nicely. Here are some updated pictures and new livestock shots. Enjoy.

 

[Blazer88]

Here are some more. I figured it would be easier to attach the pictures rather than host them on photobucket so they stay in this thread.

those zoo's are sweet

 

[Blazer88]

Thanks for the comments. I'm still trying to dig up more pictures that I've taken recently

 

[Blazer88]

I think I'm just about out of pictures for now. The picture from August of the tank with only 35 pounds of rock is pretty funny :lol: I've had a lot of fun with this hobby and look forwards to more successful years to come!

Rick- Nice set up & I see you got a new copper banded buddy. Hopefully you have good luck with him. Is he eating frozen foods? eating aptasia?

By the way, what type/model of camera do you have? those macro shots are really nice- I mean really really nice!

 

[Blazer88]

I did pick up the CBB yesterday. He was eating frozen Mysis like there was no tomorrow in the LFS, I figured he was my best chance for success. He has been eating Mysis and Brine in my tank, but not much of it yet. I figure he will be fine once he settles into the tank. I only have one aptasia in my tank, which of course he hasn't touched yet. I was just happy, and surprised, to see him eating at the LFS. And sorry bro, they only have one or else I would have called you, lol.

 

[class clown]

Sounds great. I am glad you found yourself a new friend that actually eats. He looks like he has really nice coloring too. Although it could be that Sweet camera- what type is that again?

P.S- thanks for rubbing it in that you only have a single aptasia LOL.

 

[Blazer88]

It's not all good.....my nano has two aptasia :lol: The camera I use is a Kodak DZ7590. Hopefully you can find another CBB someday that is eating as well. So far he is a really cool fish. He has started to explore the whole tank and checking out the rocks. He has only been eating like 5 or 6 pieces of mysis at a time though I don't know what is considered normal for them. I am glad to see he is interested and eating food, but hopefully his appetite will pick up once he settles.

 

[Blazer88]

I figured why he wasn't eating much. The Mysis I had was well over a year old (it was half full when I got it a year ago). I bought a new package and he ate 20-30 pieces and didn't spit any out. So looks like I got lucky that he loves Mysis Now if he would only find that one aptasia I have.....

LOL!!! dood were you trying to give him dihirrea? :lol: :lol:, now don't forget to get him some peptobismol.

Here is the most recent shot. I've posted about a thousand different livestock pictures in the photography forum but not many full-tank shots. This was taken in November. I'm hoping this tank will come down in spring time to make way for a 120G tank.
