Gramophone Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 So I've been away for a while. My tank pretty much crashed due to a large drop in calcium and I neglected it for quite a while. Fortunately, I managed to get my parameters back in order to start round 2 (with a lot of newfound knowledge). Time to start slowly adding things to this tank once again. I have to say, I'm pretty excited Here's a small start: 11 Quote Link to comment
Psychosis Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Maxi's are a good way to start. More fungia are a good way to finish. Everything in the middle is kind of up for grabs. 1 Quote Link to comment

Are they not in this tank yet? Welcome back Thanks, Gena! I actually bought a BTA so I have been waiting until he settles in to bring back the rest of the gang. My LFS has been nice enough to watch them for a while. Your tank is looking most wonderful, I might add 1 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Nice What color BTA? Thank goodness for a LFS you can count on under these kinds of circumstances!!!!! And, thank you! Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 So after a long period of losing corals, I still could not pinpoint the exact issue of why things were dying. After finally buying a magnesium test kit I so desperately needed, I discovered that my magnesium was way too low. Now that I have almost fixed the issue, it's time for round 3. Third time's a charm, right? Newcomers: ...and my new favorite little critter 5 Quote Link to comment

fretfreak13 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Haha I think when people list stocklist/equipment in their first post they should ALSO list their camera and lenses. Please? Oh, and where are you from in Ohio? 1 Quote Link to comment
Gramophone Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wow. I'm glad you are back, your photography is simply amazing. Thanks! I'm happy to be concentrating on the tank again. Haha I think when people list stocklist/equipment in their first post they should ALSO list their camera and lenses. Please? Oh, and where are you from in Ohio? Ha. It's a Canon Rebel XTi with a 100mm macro. The other lens is just the stock lens that came with the camera. I'm from Dayton. Quote Link to comment
