Vic's Vivarium Project

Admittedly Vic, Im a bit disappointed you didn't leave that tank empty. It was aesthetically beautiful without anything in it. And a bit sadden it didn't go fwp. Although I love reefs, I sometimes feel they're a bit chaotic in comparison and I had fallen for the simplicity your tank offered

If I knew anything at all about freshwater setups I might have considered it, but I'm hoping I can still keep this one looking as clean

 

If only I had a nice enclosure to hide the pump and heater... :lol:

Vic - Once I get my new tank up and running, maybe I could have you snap some photo's. Of course if you really do work for frags. :)

 

I also have a couple secret projects that would be nice to have someone that knows what there doing snap some photo's.

Sounds good to me :)

 

I think that algae is on it's last leg. I finally got a clear shot of one of the frags I picked up a few days ago.

It doesn't really show up very well, but the centers are a nice bright peach color.

By far one of the nicest tanks I have ever seen. I remember you saying that you are doing LR only, what kind of water changes are you going to be doing and what is the fish stocking plan.

3 small fish, lots of inverts, weekly 10% water changes. I can easily bump that to 25% per week if need be.

 

And thanks!

The other frag I got from the LFS. I'm hoping this one colors up some more

Hmm, it looks a little underexposed on this monitor.

 

One of the 3 "nano" urchins. His disc is about the size of a dime.

My CuC is very busy at the moment, I'm still struggling with this algae. Right when I think it's about to die off it comes back full force. I'm doing a real lights out for 3 days now. I covered the damn tank with my car cover. I think it was receiving too much natural light from the room to work before.

It's just part of the cycle, it will burn itself out soon enough. Have you tested your phosphates lately?

It wouldn't do any good if I did, the algae would be eating them all up. I'm just trying to kill it off since I know it's not something wrong with my husbandry at this point. Nitrates are still undetectable, pH is steady and everything inside the tank is happy.

Nice tank Vic, that algae outbreak you got going is really weird i've not seen one that bad and it's so weird how it comes back so fast.

 

Also you probably mentioned but what macro lens do you have and camera?

Link to comment

Yeah I think that blue zoa frag has a ton of potential. It was under old VHOs in the LFS so I'm expecting big things.

 

I'm using a Canon EOS 40D and a Sigma 150 f/2.8 Macro lens.
