I used to be a big rock wall guy and then got inspired by a bunch of our reefers here to try the island feel (4x5 mainly lol) Well, you've pulled it off well!! I'll be setting up a display tank soon myself and plan to do something kinda similar with my rockwork. Link to comment

bpounds1991 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Its been a pretty busy week in the tank, since last time I picked up a couple duncan heads, a free cyphastrea donated from a friend, and a pink monti digitata frag. My girlfriend and I were going to the beach the other day when we stopped by Petco just to take a peek, they ended up having snowflake clowns paired and hosting a sebae anemone?! I ended up picking both clowns and the sebae up (rash decision I know ) for 85$. Think I'm gonna up my CUC this week, so far the hermits seem to be bored with what little food I have for them but my ceriths and turbos seem to be busy as ever. Last but not least, some pics http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/027AF50E-32AA-4EEE-B5A8-D1E410FB67F0_zpsdkcmgxyj.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/63028B3F-B312-4970-99C0-30F3CCDF8D37_zpseapdjb4h.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/6B1B6339-3A40-452E-822A-BADE31E19AF0_zpskmmcibba.jpg.html'> Even the jawfish is making his way out finally http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/91EB15E9-03BD-4343-9C4E-32AACEF827CD_zps7cbz5hcv.jpg.html'> I'm also picking up some camera films early this coming week so the pictures should be a lot better Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 So yesterday when I woke up the jawfish was hanging out of its den (which is right next to my clown pair/anemone) acting like normal... to bring you guys up to speed he didn't come out of his den for the first almost 2 weeks I had him, and he was the only fish in the tank. Now fast forward to last night and he's trying to jump, sitting in corners, darting around the tank and just lying in one spot... I know jawfish are rather odd but that just doesn't sit well with me at all. Anyhow, here's some updated pictures..I purchased some film lenses and I'll be able to take a lot better pictures now. Here were some rough first shots but you can already see the increase in quality. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/DE8664E8-5022-4B08-B4D2-B9EDC5D519CD_zpstwqrgm0l.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/BA7F89BD-C02F-4A32-9C50-74E374760F49_zpsgy4ejiau.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/F5593BE5-9FD7-4CE5-8C46-F2F1BB0D5313_zpsygaj2fnt.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/A46F12F9-6AA9-40E0-9361-F7F9A472044B_zpsd9bwlbfv.jpg.html'> The jawfish when he was acting normal http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/CB4CF430-2F29-4335-9866-8B79D62B84C4_zpsfm7ujqbc.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/FE457FAC-476D-4103-A97A-24025DB82E54_zpsgzbz9yua.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/2E3B768E-F14C-4F85-B7D2-07577EBF8A7D_zpswafnrm2a.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/13C58A82-608F-44EF-9AEA-2F9EA25ACFF9_zpsec1ldfel.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/2B10E19D-3E57-4844-BAB8-DC4641BD1CDA_zpslh1wp5fw.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/94FBA6D4-08BC-485E-8FA9-632192B01EA0_zpsdos1xutg.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/7D3A37C8-5355-4E46-B813-FFA800AA0462_zpsrdnm2rku.jpg.html'> Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Also, I only have a 240gph return pump and a koralia nano 240, do you guys think swapping out the 240 for a 600gph would be too much? Link to comment
hockeyhead019 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 what's the goal of the swap? everything looks happy to me lol hopefully the jawfish calms down but the scaping looks awesome and the corals all look great under that color of blue Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 The other tank had a leak so that's why I swapped them, I never even had it set up but for like a week or so anyways Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 A small update from dinner time, definitely getting attacked by the brown algae monster (first bloom i believe) Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Well is been a little while since I updated so I figured I'd give some news/pics! Jawfish unfortunately had a parasite and didn't make it, surprisingly enough he managed to go almost 3 weeks without eating and was paper thin by the time he passed :/. Haven't really picked up any new corals lately except a green millepora and orange monti digitata, and the anemone decided to move somewhere else in the tank where its darkened up and appears much much happier. Also picked up a Jebao RW-4 and am still getting used to the wave features/attempting to not create a complete monsoon inside the tank. Also picked up an anemone crab and is happily hosting the anemone with the 2 clowns http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/6A378DD2-67B6-4F36-AE6F-7BD7FE8D5FE7_zpsavtlfbi7.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/2DB30261-7976-44E4-A1C2-FEEB1DDDA04B_zpsghuqprh5.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/C61CA780-AA4C-4EA6-B3F8-F27AF2CF6763_zpsdbvp01m2.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/4D52A522-53FF-486C-A508-D27C0183733F_zpsbjzz4w99.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/CB5A09B9-E701-45DE-A34A-F7C6C22B5809_zpsvhp0n2np.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/0E47377F-F5BC-4848-91A2-23B51EB6142B_zpskam9ehhb.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/42FBC15A-C929-4BE9-96BE-095DC3E42B96_zpsxfjmpexr.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/79139010-AB39-443F-AD98-DFAA2799B919_zpsixmoaidq.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/1D596274-9FCE-4204-BC23-E20DCB8F7285_zpsgh7x7bf0.jpg.html'> Link to comment

bpounds1991 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 A minor update, i'm doing away with water changes in the meantime and have begun dosing calc/alk (yes don't worry I test for it ) and am also selling some of my acan garden to go back more to the original island look I was going for. Also selling the duncans/frogspawn and going towards a more true SPS dominant tank...it was only a matter of time http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/427B840C-7362-4771-AA91-85D752EF9A16_zpscnvenqjc.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/DDF8CDC8-E5A2-46DA-B4B6-7E935D61EC53_zps4u67g8f6.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/086ECDA4-6FBC-4DC1-9973-D419D055907A_zpsilxftzeu.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/E5043C25-9422-47F7-92FD-59C07D2DE483_zpsn84nlgxz.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/BFF4467C-C9F4-44CB-B657-174693E38A08_zpsdpo5mkuo.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/2382232E-0592-4CD5-A1A9-E85CAD18659C_zpscshptshf.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/1911AB53-9126-45AF-B5EE-0893EEA3A496_zpsqpbrnovm.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/FD4DDCEB-166F-4131-B84E-537BC6CEC03D_zpsjbtzemwm.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/BF807E1D-A5A0-474D-B0FF-7BBCE470FA95_zps4hrlu9cf.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/93DD742E-57B1-4B16-9E98-FE3E0B938754_zpswj2dppyo.jpg.html'> http://smg.photobucket.com/user/joker577/media/Newest%20Tank/506B16A5-5FAA-42E9-960C-F6A2F1416FFC_zpsrqlontof.jpg.html'> Link to comment
