iball1804 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Nope. Do you know how to upload pictures through a online photo album such as Flickr, Photobucket, imgur? Link to comment

ThatDude Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Recently I did some new aquascaping and moved the Koralia to a different spot. My bubble coral was acting funny and wouldn't fully open, so I figured it wasn't digging the spot it was in. I moved it towards the middle to get some more light and a different flow. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Like the little zoa clusters and now their placed. Nice coralline also. Link to comment
ThatDude Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Like the little zoa clusters and now their placed. Nice coralline also. Thanks! The aquascape has changed a little and I'm debating on if I should keep them where they are or move them towards the left side of my tank so I can see them from my couch... Link to comment

Maybe keep one cluster in it's original place and then move one to the left. Balance it out and/or can view from your couch. LOL Link to comment
ThatDude Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Tank Update: Recently I did some new aquascaping to find a new place for my Bubble Coral. As I look at pictures of other bubble corals I was sad of how pitiful mine was looking. I tried to limit the flow reaching it to see if it would open up but it just didn't look the same as the day I bought it. For a while there it looked like some of the flesh was receding so I moved it to a new place in the tank. I'll wait and see how it goes and hopefully it makes a full recovery... Link to comment

rO.oster Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very nice scape....! Link to comment
ThatDude Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Very nice scape....! Thanks! I think I'm finally satisfied with how the tank looks now. I may need to move the Hammer Coral because it is growing fairly quick... Link to comment
Red Sea Reefer Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'm jealous of your aquascape. I trying to set my tank up. Tried to scape on 5 different nights and can't come up with anything that looks good with good water flow. I think my rocks are too large. I'm just about to take the 20 lbs back to the LFS and buy a premade piece of cerameco that will fit nicely in my BC 29. Im going to scope out one more LFS before I do that. Did you epoxy any pieces together? After I scape mine it always seems unstable like it will come crashing down on the glass. Link to comment
i<3nanotanks Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 looks awesome!!! Link to comment

Did you epoxy any pieces together? After I scape mine it always seems unstable like it will come crashing down on the glass. The piece at the top is wedged in there and I still haven't epoxied it in place. It fell once and broke a branch off of my hammer coral . The two pieces creating the arches in the back are large pieces I had from my other tank years ago. I think now I have one piece on the left epoxied in place at the moment. Everything else is stable or on the sand. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Man I dig this scape. Pretty awesome and original. Link to comment
ThatDude Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Man I dig this scape. Pretty awesome and original. Thanks! All the rock began as dry rock except the piece with the shroom. Link to comment
ThatDude Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 I started playing with the placement of the koralia and think I found a good place where it is not a hurricane in the tank but also eliminates some dead spots. I eliminated the elbow on the return and the flow through the filter really picked up! Let me know what you think. Link to comment
ThatDude Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 New Years Buy/Update! This week I finally jumped into SPS! I picked up a nice piece of Birdsnest, Monti Cap, and some Chalice. My new Panorama Pro came in and I switched out my remaining PC 50/50 Bulb with a 10,000K. The lighting is exactly how I want it as far as color but I still would like to purchase a 12,000K Panorama Pro and a dimmer. Link to comment
ThatDude Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 So today I was trying to mount my monti cap in a good place and accidently fragged it. We will see how it does! Link to comment
JDK Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Like the scape. Love the acan as well. Link to comment
