Great looking rockwork, very inventive! It makes for a very clean looking tank.

Any reason you have that little powerhead in the front corner like that? Can you cut a hole in the rockwork and hide it back there?

I'm trying to get some flow to the back wall since it'll have SPS on it. As for putting in in the rockwork, not really. I've already got an MJ600 behind the rocks and to cut a hole in the rock would cause a lot of trouble. The only thing the Kor nano is covering up is the sump return, so you're not missing much.

Looking good! Be sure you don't have any snails or critters that will eat that algae. Mexican turbos plowed through some of Weetie's & something ate my flame macro.

Yeah - I thought of that. I have ceriths and periwinkles and so far they haven't messed with it. The fuzzy chiton (if he's still alive - hasn't moved much since he got in the tank) might go chomping on some of it.

Check with Johnny. He can tell you what is safe. I'm not sure about the chilton.

Johnny sold them to me

It's alright though - I'll be getting some more display algae from John soon - the shaving brush was DOA, sadly, and it's been removed.

If he knew where they were going you are good to go. I got stuff for 3 systems & he told me what not to put in the display sump with my macros. Great guy! Wouldn't buy from anyone else!

Dude build me a rockwall like that please.

My wife would kill me if I did another one of those, lol. Seriously, though, it was way easier than I thought it was going to be. You should def. try it!

Added a poll!!!

A question: The tank is now well past the cycle. How much longer would you wait to add fish? Easy corals?

I think I'm going to go with a single goby/shrimp pair and maybe also another small fish (YCG or the like). It'll still be a while till I add them though.

I don't see the poll but I think your ready.

Yeah - I axed the poll - got two responses and they were both what I was leaning towards, so I'm going with it.

is that your final answer? lol!

kick ass tank

Thanks! My wife keeps asking when I'm putting something in it. I think some zoas and rics are in order very soon.

i could totally see you rocking something super exotic. Like jokers, AOG, or tubs blues

Oh trust me, that's the plan

what's the plan ?tank is looking good ,DHaut!
and yeah,build me a rockwall ,too.lolz

Sure thing! I just get to come pick 10 corals out of your tank, my choice

Right now I'm thinking about putting tank additions on hold for a while. Since I may be moving apartments in a couple months, I don't want to risk buying something that I kill in the move. I still will probably go ahead with adding some nice zoas and a ric or two, but (if I can stand it) I'll hold off on the fish and other mobile inhabitants for a while. Plus, it gives me the benefit of letting the tank mature.

WOW I would not be able to take that.

Yeah - it'll be tough. I'll see if I hold out.

tease

M'akoy Pinoy hooked me up!!!!!

Armor of God's



M'akoy Mohawks





Top-down

You lucky lucky man

Sweet D !!

Give the AOG some room.
Probably the fastest growing zoa I have ever had
Awesome looking too!

Thanks Richie

No prob.

M'akoy freed up some of his prized zoos huh?
Prolly cuz he's on a chalice kick right now
He has awesome stuff for sure.

btw, didja see my 5.5 thread today?

kewleo. This seems fun. I think I'll follow this thread

Welcome on board!!

Nice zoos my friend ... Makoy told me he hooked you up yesterday. The Mohawks grow like weeds!!!

Yeah, man. He's awesome - sweet tank he's got too. That acan garden is just gorgeous.

Hell yeah ... I want some of those acans!!! He has an itch for chalices now ... which I seem to be developing as well ... lol

His collection is quite nice so far. I'll let him frag those in a few months and pay him another visit

Coming along nicely!

Thanks!

Verah prettah zoa frags!

You'll have to trade me some of those the next time you come down.

For sure!

great stuff

Thanks man!

Better pic of the Mohawks

schwingg! very nice

Last night I saw the urchin in my fuge again, along with a 2nd baby chiton! Pics tonight if they're still out.

Started the Mg bryopsis treatment today. I really hope it works because my tank is becoming overrun.

Whats going on here?!

Meh. Waiting on the bryopsis to die. I added an emerald crab to eat some other random stuff that's growing in the display. Might have something interesting to show tonight.

I prolly missed it but.....what product are you dosing for Mg D??

Nice score! I love Mohawks. Mine, unfortunately, are growing very very slow.
