uwwmatt Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Here is my first and oldest fish, still kicking after 3 tank upgrades. Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Feed it anything special? I don't do any direct feeding in my tank except for the anemone. I rotate through frozen cyclopeez, mysis, shrimp, and various other goodies. Link to comment
tom_m Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 What kind of anemone is that on the right?? Your tank looks awesome, great job! Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 What kind of anemone is that on the right?? Your tank looks awesome, great job! Its frogspawn an LPS coral not an anemone. They are really easy to keep alive. Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Wowzas!!! I noticed you had lots of SPS in the June FTS but in the May FTS they are not nearly as abundunt. Any reason for taking them out? I had a tank crash not long after that June picture was taken. I had some guests over and they knocked my backup battery pump into my tank and either stray voltage or leaking chemicals killed lots of my corals. In addition to most of my SPS I lost one of my cardinal fish, my clam, 90% of my zoanthid, and my toadstool has never fully recovered. I am actually still fighting the effects of that crash today. About 3 months after I started to get hair algae and diatom outbreaks that I still have totally taken care of. What sucks most is less then a month before that June photo was taken my sump cracked in the middle of the night and partly drained my tank and my ATO pumped a bunch of fresh water into the tank. My losses were not to bad, but my tank sat on the floor like this for a few weeks while I tried to come up with a sump design The corals that were not effected by the two tank crashes have continued to grow and have filled in the areas where there had been losses but if you look back to April 2009 before I had any problems, that is when I had the most diversity in my tank, and things were the healthiest. I can only imagine how my tank would look if there had been a years worth of growth without any problems. Link to comment
