lgreen Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Wow. The neon green toad, green ric, and no stripe are awesome! Link to comment
travisurfer Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks Travisurfer! Something I found really interesting is that I have been running the bio-wheel for about 2 months now and my nitrates are 0 with the salifert test kit. Also, I've only been doing weekly 1/2 gallon water changes. I'll be keeping track of nitrates for the rest of the contest so we'll see if the bio-wheel really does cause your nitrates to slowly build up. interesting to see how that will play out. perhaps that was just a rumor by someone that wasnt a very good aquarist.

pico1 Posted December 12, 2006 Author Share Posted December 12, 2006 Thanks lgreen! Finally, a good full tank shot! It took me about 50 pictures to get one where the corals looked good and the clowns were in focus. I'll be getting a new camera soon. BTW the new corals are the pink/orange/blue/green yuma on the lower left side and the purple blastos with green mouths on the lower right side. Link to comment
lgreen Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Very nice pico1. I'll have to say I wouldn't mind having your neon-green centered candycanes either. I've been thinking about doing a pair of regular perculas, but haven't decided yet. Not sure if I even want to deal with the extra bioload of keeping and feeding any fish. I think a pair of clowns would be a total chick magnet at the dorms though. lol. Link to comment
Asin Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Very nice, Pico. Love the clowns. Link to comment
