My 58 show off tank

Thanks, I keep feeling like it needs something, some coral. But I guess that is probably just the addiction calling

Looks good. Approximately how much did you start feeding( pappone) and where are you at now?

[franklypre]

I actually started with a larger amount than I use now. I use ziploc bags that are filled so they are thin sheet about 1/4 inch thick I use a 1/4 by 1/4 inch piece, sometimes more sometimes a little less. I do this 3 days on 2 days off.

Cool thanks.

That is full to the brim! Gonna need an upgrade to a larger tank soon. Once all those sticks start growing this is gonna look just incredible. Well done!

[franklypre]

Thank you and I really don't plan on upgrading for about a year or so, I will however start fragging some of these up in a few months. I want the look of the mature Italian tanks.

[spanko]

Gottcha! I too love the look of those tanks, a forest of nice SPS coral. Keep posting updates here so we can see how your tank is developing.

A few new acros a few less LPS, they are hard to keep with one of my buddies around. Most SPS are in there final places and probably not a lot more additions to make other than the occasional frag.

i like it. now if youll just keep your hands out of the tank!!! pphaaahahaa! kidding really. remember when that was one of the rules???? i get better growth when i have my hands (still nasty from work) in the tank than when i just let it be. ok i went to left feild. nice tank

[franklypre]

I wish I could keep my hands out however the nudi's, which are still in the tank, seem to make that improbable for a while. I'm thinking about maybe using drywall dust as food, LOL. Thanks Steevo.

Haven't seen this one in a while, coming along really nicely.

I appreciate the compliment, I should have mentioned I took the wavemaker off and added a K3. So I have 2 K3s and a Rio 1400 in the sump, the flow is much easier to control.

I really like this tank. This thread needs more love lol.

[franklypre]

I appreciate that, I will add a recent pic in the next few days.

[Jacobnano]

That bonsai is amazing.

[franklypre]

Yea just think no acro in the entire system cost me more than 25 bucks. BlueZooAquatics is my secret, and Pappone.

[Jacobnano]

Cool cool. Yea same here man, I love reasonably priced things haha!

It is faster due to facebook 50kb limit on photos, I'll gladly wait for the high quality photos of a photo site load before I'll look at facebook crap.

[franklypre]

For those of you that don't like the facebook crap here are some full size photos.
