lgoins Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Either you have unlimited funds, or you're not eating. It looks good though, the rainbow acan is one of the most beautiful corals I've ever seen. Link to comment

Withers Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Lol, so we're on what, our 4th, 5th thread now? Lets try to keep this on point so it doesn't become 50 bajillion pages long too, j/k Those acan's are nuts. Everytime I look at your tank I get a little bit closer to trying to buy one :| Link to comment

August 2004 September 2004 October 2004 November 2004 December 2004 January 2005 ****** lgoins: haha. I definetly don't have unlimited funds (just a student). but thanks for the compliment! kabal2 - thank you very much for the kind words.

waynefish Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 nice growth on the frogspawn tigah...not sure if you mentioned it elsewhere, but what do you feed your fish and coral? Link to comment
Cesar Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Oh my Tigahboy. That tank is looking better and better dude. Those Acans are the most beautiful things I have seen. Your tank is superb. Link to comment
i have crabs Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Geez, absolutly beautiful. I hope I can get mine to look even half as good as that one day. I just turned mine into a reef after I saw all the great looking tanks on here, especially yours! Link to comment
ODOG Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I see you have quite a few SPS....I'm converting a 30 gallon hex to a SPS dominant tank, so the question is what are you dosing and how are you doing it? Skimming? Link to comment
jbird Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Wow, that really looks great! Great job. That rainbow acan is really phenominal! Link to comment

baylisc Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Tigah, your tank is great! I was wondering what type of salt you use as well as any suppliments you add to the water. could you give us a rough schedule of when you do the doses and water changes? Thanks! Baylisc Link to comment
BelowH2O Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 D Had to drop in and say whats up. The tank progression shots are great! I bet you can't believe how far its come. check yo PM... Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 Maintenance & Dosing Schedule Sundays - Seachem's Reef Plus, Reef Carbonate, and Reef Complete (in that order, 15 minutes space between) Wednesdays - the same as above. Fridays - test for calc & alk, and ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH, salinity, and sometimes phosphates Saturdays - weekly water changes - Catalina store bought water Mondays - optional - another water change Once I get my RO/DI unit working, I plan to mix my own saltwater w/ Tropic Marin brand salt. Every other day - Kent Algae scraper and mag-float w/ cloth inbetween to lessen scratches. Once a month - replace chemipure and Poly Filter pads Feeding Schedule Every other day - Lights on - Frozen enriched brine/mysis Every other day - Light off - Cyclo-peez (liquid or dry), mysis Once a week - Marine Snow, DT's (but I'm gonna try another brand soon) ****** Thanks everyone for the kinds words! Pili4444 - Cherub angel is now out of my tank. I got too paranoid...he behaved when I had him tho. Link to comment
warrior_boy Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I really like the progression and comparison pics. your aquarium has come a long way Link to comment
supernip Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 get a golden angel. those things are so cute Link to comment
The Speez Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 honestly I cant wait to see how your 65 turns out...I think it will be completly insane, but I'm sure you will be eating top ramen and cup of noodles for the rest of your law school carrer once you start stocking it! Better yet, once you get a mega $$ job at one of those LA firms you can have an in-wall 500 gallon or even create your own public reef aquarium that you charge people $20 bucks to come see.
