Subliminal Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I started out in sw with a 55 gallon, but made a lot of wrong moves. Well water, power filters, overfeeding, crushed coral, incompatible fish, snails that knock over corals...basically it was a catastrophe. So, I decided to downgrade and do it right. Actually, I developed ich in my 55g, and had to remove the fish to save them. So they went through a rigerous 8 day QT session, and I released them to their new home. Equipment: 29g tank 2 maxijet 1200s CPR Aquafuge with chaeto ~50# live rock 40# live sand Hamilton Tech (old skool) 4x55 PC hood with 2x6500k and 2xActinic Fish: Pygmy Hawk Pair juvi True Percs Pair Blue/Green Chromies Inverts: 5 nassirius snails 6 hermits BTA ...I just say a little serpent star today ...I also just found some sort of little clams Corals: Pink Anthelia Pulsing Xenia Orange Digi 3 or 4 types of zoos Candy Blastos Frogspawn Some kind of hard leather with soft polyps Brown Star Polyps Hairy Shroom 2 different kinds of shrooms Some kind of hard branching coral..too small to tell yet. Fuge: Live Sand Live rock (and I do mean one) Chaeto Also have some hair algae growing right now. Pics: To begin: Ha. So young. Check out that power filter! A few weeks later with the addition of the fuge and removal of the filter A few weeks later, and the day before vacation. The day I got back from vacation. Cha-Cha-Chia! After spending some quality time as a lawnmower. A couple more days later, added the nem, and a few new corals in the sand. This evening, before the lights went out. Added a lil' rock. All's well that ends well...for the day. Link to comment

Subliminal Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 2 weeks. Crazy, eh? Link to comment
Subliminal Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Some pics from 6/28/07: FT Pic. All extra equipment out of tank. Just 2 powerheads and the fuge pump. This one is the favorite of all my zoos. It incidentally hasn't been open like this for about a month: Believe it or not, these are supposed to be brown yellow and pink. Funny what being closed for a few months will do: Xenia and Blastos doin' great!: Still have some hair in there, but that's gotta be eating nutrients at a great rate, especially considering I'm using the 'correct' water now adays.
