n0rk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 How terrible. Try harder imo. Definitely one of the picks around these parts, buddy. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Harder you say, my good sir? That's what they're always after! Like life wouldn't be hard enough as is. And my coralline sticks to the glass harder than a coffin nail making it ridiculously hard to remove. Elevated Mg and Sr levels really do wonders on that pink stuff! Righty ho skip - off to pick up some more fishies and critters. Link to comment
n0rk Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Get an Urchin, cuts through coralline like butter! Tank is looking tops though, mate Link to comment
Aquanist Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 You're tank is awesome! I'm tank says thank you all. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 One local(ish) reefer took his tank apart (FOWLR) and I picked some goodies from him on thursday: - Synchiropus splendidus (female, so I now have a pair, and they're already hanging out together) - Acreichthys tomentosus - Paracanthurus hepatus (10cm). - few turbos - sand shifting star - couple of totally feather duster and sponge covered rocks for my sump - 25kg unopened bucket of TM Pro Reef salt If I would have known my wife's reaction to having a "Dori" I would have gotten a hippo tang as one of the very first fishes ever.

tundrashaul Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Beautiful tank, that scape looks amazing. Link to comment
maxwell Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Daaammnnn...thats it...time to scrap my lil crap. I used to dragrace motorcycles and the one thing you never did was ride a faster bike. The behemoth just did that to my tank. Beautiful tank...one of the best I've ever seen. Great Job. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thank you maxwell and tundrashaul!! I shot a small video last night as lights were dimming in my tank. Only 2 foremost tubes (out of 8) were on. Quality is pure unedited iPhone 3GS non-HD. So nothing special.. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks! Yours is a real piece of art too if may say so. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Ciao! Been to Italy for a while and my tank has been on 100% autorun. Everything turned out perfect! My only vacation preps were to fill up the ATO reservoir to the brim, clean up the skimmer cup and to rig a feeding automat (eheim dual-channel) to give fishes just a tiny daily amount of pellets and flakes (during different times of day aka. random mode). I didn't even bother to check out myself how much it were giving per serving. So I pretty much arrived back to a perfect reef tank - all fishes active and healthy and awesome color in corals. I just needed to swipe the front panes with mag float and that's it. And the holiday? Yup - fantastic!! Here's a shot for you from Milan aquarium (Acquario Civico) - a small aquarium in central park with free admission. Picture parsed together from 7 pictures by using DoubleTake. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Impulse buys anyone? Just got home with Acanthurus japonicus fresh off of my LFS's QT tank. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Wow. That is a fantastic specimen! Tank looks great! Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 wow what beauty! Wow. That is a fantastic specimen! Tank looks great! Thank you guys! Yellow and palette tangs are giving it some hard time as a newcomer but nothing too serious. He's holding his ground like a man he is! Just in case I'm currently supplementing all meals with vitamins and garlic. Better safe than sorry. Here's my male anthias captured yesterday I was shooting the japonicus. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Todays FTS 2xblue + 2x fiji purple Same as above, but tweaked the white balance for more natural look (think I over-did it a bit). Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Got a good deal off of a few weeks used 39W UV filter and thought, why not.. So I added one today - better safe than sorry I quess. Link to comment
d9hp Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Beautiful new fish...I love the anthias as well...will always be one of my favorite reef fish. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Crazy Finns! Borderline sane that is! Beautiful new fish...I love the anthias as well...will always be one of my favorite reef fish. Yes he's a really fine specimen. Still small (4inch) but holds his own nicely in already established system. I love the anthias too - sure win over any chromis any day in my book. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yooo, very nice reef tank setup. I subscribed to your thread months ago but never had the chance to read the entire thread, as I just did now. ps: you should put your blasto front not back of the tank Link to comment
