2.slowduo Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 so, this started as a 20 extra tall that was given to me by a friend. I've had great success with this tank,keeping all sorts of things,sexy shrimp gobies even a tiny trigger Link to comment
2.slowduo Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 this was the current set up as of 12/27/2010 as we can see some things had grown too big for this tank the toadstool at purchase for comparison Link to comment
2.slowduo Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 spotted a 28 euro in the box store for cheap,somehow I got it for xmass yay!!! change over day 1/1/11 I used this opportunity to rid myself of some things I no longer wanted,like my royal gramma. what a jerk,he chased every fish I got after him right on out of the tank,good bye! also many rocks covered in "cammo"pallys. beware of 1$ frags at a swap.I could not get rid of them all,and I'm gonna have to prune them in my new tank.also got rid of a bunch of colt coral and some loose shrooms. came home with a bunch of liverock,some star pollops,and a bunch of water I also moved the location of the tank across the room as I was getting direct sunlight in the morning and early afternoon,causing all kinds of algae issues all set up and kinda foggy Link to comment
2.slowduo Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 the next day all clear and happy my toadstool looks much happier in here,I'm sure it woll still out grow this tank too,as well as the monti picked up a nice little piece of dunkan pollops,and a coral banded shrimp also got 3 pajama cardinals on thursday,have not taken any pics of them yet,but they have acclimated well and started eating pods right off the glass as soon as they went in the tank Link to comment

ngoodermuth Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Very nice! Thanks for stopping by my thread The upgrade to the euro looks really good, I like the scape and how you have a good amount of room at the top of the tank... I wish I had a little less rock in mine. I also like the ricordia/mushroom rocks at the bottom. I've been battling a little algae myself, red slime. It's under control but not completely gone which can be frustrating. Great job on the upgrade! Link to comment
ReefTaco Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 sweet tank!!!!! whats your filtration system and whats your usual maintenance like Link to comment
2.slowduo Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 my filtration is pretty simple,and I have had good luck for years using this method 1 decent skimmer in this case a cpr bakpack and a cheepo hob this time I'm using an aqueon(junk) 240gph for flow,carbon and mechanical filtration,carbon only about 2 weeks a month got some phos-ban in the bottom too top off with ro\di and 5g every 2weeks wc with prepared saltwater (reefcrystals) and a capfull of purple up every other day or so and now for some recent pics hungry trumpet new war coral,about 1\2 way up on the right,eating every time I feed monte getting bigger every day some stuff Link to comment
2.slowduo Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Longtime no update I thought I had killed the war coral, so I put it in a rubble pile under the Monte And now two months later it looks great again. I guess they don't like high light and I guess my T5 ho. Are pretty strong Anyway looks great and feeds now. Camera bit the dust so I can't take any pix Going to be moving in the next two weeks. This tank is going to move into my 46bowfront. It will also run ho T5 lighting and my backpack I look forward to the extra room of the 46 I have missed that Link to comment
