WOW!!!!!! inspiration for all !!!

You've got quite a bit of Macroalgae in there, don't you.
Zoas, Mushrooms,Yumas (<3), and Ricordea are looking great.
Blastos don't look very happy though, what's up with that?
Still got 4 lil Gobies?

Ya, still have 4 gobies.
And yes, the blastos are a little po'd right now... I put one in the 15gal and it's looking better. I guess I need to test the alk in the 40.. I'm sure it's probably low again.

I'm letting the macro do it's thing.. I like it!

This tank still rawks. Your scaping also rawks, and your pictures rawk. Thank you for all of the rawking.

looks great kim- the macro looks awesome

Thanks, Travis!! Hope all is well with you.

Thanks, I'm doing great. Don't tell anyone, but I may be setting up another pico soon.

Big surprise there!

Hey, give me some credit. It's already been two months without a tank.

You have a neat tank, I like that there's no SPS. I should throw all mine away along with the red bugs and go seagrass and softies.

Spoken like a true addict.
Going to stock anything special?


Hah, thanks, but there are actually a few pieces of SPS in there.

Haha, I couldn't resist. Nothing overly special, but it will be small, it will be made of scrap aquarium supplies from around the house, and it definitely won't be your average pico. Some pre-planning is actually going into this one.

I figured there were a few but I like the opposite of the SPS dominated look you have going. Nice.

Ooooh, can't wait to see what you do.


Thanks.

Your tank looks awesome!

Wooh! I think I'm going to start the thread towards the end of October. I might get a chance next weekend, but the end of October is looking much better.

Thanks.


Yay! I'll be watching for it.

tank is looking pretty awesome there Lalani... i really like the macros up w/ the corelz, very natural looking. Also great photo skillz.

Gracias.

Spectacular! I dig all the macro algae.

So how do you like the new Oceanic salt? I have been using it for 4 months the Calcium is off the hook. My corals love it little low on Alk though. Tank looks awesome just like your pitcher skills.

You're looking at it all wrong, Kim. Fragging is good for the hobby! Plus, I totally need a centerpiece for the new tank. May as well go all out!

Looking good! Your tank has come along quite nicely.

I'm in ure tank taking pink yuma


Tank is looking so purdy lani

Maria!
How you cud do dat to R buddeh?
send to me half kthnxbye


I agree! I like the macros growing in there Kim!
Sweet!

Thanks everybody!!

I'm slowly switching over to the Oceanic salt... doing a 3:1 ratio of IO and Oceanic for the water changes right now, so I don't expect to see any change soon.

Wow! This tank has matured! Life everywhere! Good job, Lalani!

Thank you.


One of the cats just brought me a present from behind/inside the tank stand...... A very..... very dry mandarin goby corpse...

for the mandy

and at the kitteh present

Ah man. How long ago did you lose the goby?

Your tank is looking fabulous! I think it's actually my favorite tank on here...I like a natural looking reef with macros...and I love your gazillion zoas And the pink yuma of course.

Kentucky got crispy chicken, Weezyanna got crispy mandarin? Can't all be winners I guess

Ummm, couple months?





lol, crazy

Beautiful Tank!

simplicity.

me likes

so, when are you going to thin the herd? take a little off the top? do a nip/tuck?



srsly though, if you're looking to trim out any of the non-caulerpa macros, polyps, mini nems (lol), etc send me a PM. I have about a hundred dollars in my tank budget this month and it's burning a hole in my pocket.

lol, Jer. Oh, and thank you for saying what I was thinking earlier.. y'know what I'm talking about.
I'd gladly send you some stuff! The only non caulerpa macro I'd send is the halimeda. You really don't want the dictoya! I could spare a couple of mini nems too. Just lemme know what all you are interested in and I'll cut your frags this week when I cut Richie's and Jamie's.

ty.

is that thorny looking weirdness a caulerpa? I'd totally take a sprig of that, I just took all the caulerpa out of the NW9 and now the sand looks empty, lol. I gotta look through your photos, but I'm interested in whatever you think is fair for a hundred bucks. I'm flexible.

but if you screw me I'm putting a bad review in the feedback forum.

I would only charge you shipping, btw. You could use the rest of the money for a NEW CAMERA.

I think that algae is feather caulerpa, but maybe John could ID it for sure. You're welcome to it as well. I have a bunch in the 15gal! It's snaking through the sand. So, just look through the pics and see what all you want and shoot me a PM.



Hi, Richie.

^ that thorny weirdness, btw

Whatever it is, it looks cool!

Oooooh, that! Yeah, I think it's a type of caulerpa. It grows in spurts in my tank, kinda strange. I think a small clump of it actually went sexual the other day (turned white, cloudy water, etc.) but it doesn't spread... I'm not sure. I'll see if I can scrounge some together for you.

Wow, that tank is beautiful. I have been thinking about setting up a nano and now I am convinced I must do so.

Say goodbye to your money.
Thank you, and to NR.com!

I am seeing that. been thinking about this for a few months now... I already have 4 FW tanks set up. Thinking about getting a 20 long and setting that up. Might be able to pull a light hood from my planted tank. Just planning ahead. Maybe by the first of the year I will have something up and running

i really want this macro look in my tank... *drools*

Beautiful as always! Love how you manage to mix the macro algae with the corals. I thought about a 40BR before I moved but didn't have enough time, love the layout of a wide tank, someday... How do you like the Vortech, that's on my list of someday as well Photos are top notch too, no surprise there
