have a full tank shot of your 75 For Charlie

Yep just salt & Rodi

Jeff, do you have a full tank shot of your 75? I was just reading your other post in Krish's thread, and was wondering how big some of your corals are. The reason I ask is because I am getting to the point in my tank where it is getting real touhg to keep up with the calcium demand. I am "shoveling" the CaCl2 in, and can barely keep up. Just curious.

Ok Charlie First shot is the hole thing ( Crappy Kodak)
Next 4 are starting left working to the right..
Ok Gabby time for you to get some Orange Montipora Like Charlie said It grows!
This guy of mine was a 2" circle 14 months ago

[Krish]

[CarlaW]

What kind of flow and what are you feeding Jeff?

 

[The Apprentice]

Having fun!

Thanks Gabby good luck On your frags. You wont have any trouble just do water changes about 7-10 days apart. Yea the Coral Ed gave me is just the tip of the forest He has spoiled me rotten with frags He is the Man!


Krish I want to see your nano filled up with some coral!


Charlie The 29 gallon tank is seeing about 370 GPH which I believe is a little to hard and too much for these guys they don't seem to be very happy a couple of times I have shut the pump down to adjust the spray Bar and when I do they seem to get more aggressive with swimming around the Tank. I think I am going to Install a smaller pump and drop it to about 300 gph.
As for feeding Rick Berg ( Rico ) set up a 1/2 clam shell for a feed trough for his sea horses and I tried the same thing I took one of them about 6 hours today to find it I hope she shows the other one. As for the amount I have put in one Teaspoon full ( Frozen Mysis with garlic and selcon soaked ) and there is still a little left.

Didn't make it

The male sea horse wasn't shipped. The people had shipped a bunch of females and no males. So maybe this weekend we will get a male sea horse...I found this to Make the trip home Worth while This is a pom pom crab. It is maybe 1/2 inch big. We just got him. So he is still in the bag, so the picture isn't to good. But if you look at his front pincher's, he has what looks like pom poms. They are actually sea anemone. He clips them off and put them in his front pincher's and when anything comes near him that he thinks is his enemy, he will wave those pom poms as his defense. I hope he will make a fine janitor Also My Shrimp Gobies are starting to come out way more they are all of a sudden more brave
