Here's an update. Everything has been doing extremely well, and i'm not sure why. It's beyond me. I do absolutely nothing with this tank. Here, let me share my maintenance schedule.

 

Water change every other month

clean filter sock every few weeks

dump unmeasured amount of fertilizer into tank once a week or whenever I remember.

 

That's it... I don't have any equipment. Not even a heater. The only thing on this tank is a filter sock and 10g sump with ceramic rings in it. I don't have baffles or anything in the sump. Just submerged media.

 

Anyways, enough talking, here's the pics... Excuse the dying monti cap. It's from my reef and got wrecked by my AI sol's. don't think it's gonna recover but if not.. food for the beast and algae

fuchea + monster bristleworm

Awesomely colored bristleworm... about 7-8" long. He's actually pretty photogenic

Looking great man, you arent every going to put any livestock in here are you :P

 

What is that red plating algae at the base of the blue scroll?

 

By the way, The frog is doing awsome, he has grown alot! Eats like a pig.

Great o hear it man! My frogs have made it all across teh US :lol: . I keep putting off livestock for this tank...

 

Oh and the red algae is just like blue scroll, except it's bright red. I haven't found an exact species name for it yet, but it's not coralline It's pretty flimsy and caps out.

love this tank. I'm going to shoot you a pm about purchasing a few things out of your FS thread. SO hard to find unique display algae.. I think it is sooo under rated in tanks.

Haven't updated in quite a while. Everything is looking great. I think I'm going to get some new macros soon. I'm also thinking of a pair of red mandarin gobies. I have a large population of pods, bristleworms, and mysid shrimp. I have about 300 mysid shrimp scurrying all over the place, it's pretty cool.

Love the macros!

 

Thanks!

 

I love the idea for a pair of mandarins, that would be a very cool addition.

 

Thanks, it would be pretty awesome. I would do horses, but the lower temps wouldn't really fly with my metal halides

That Tunicate is really cool! I love stuff like that.

It's neat seeing the "grown up version" of my Macro clippings in your pics.

Thanks again!

Wow! I love your macro tanks... Your tanks and a couple others on NR have been my inspiration for months! Now im stocking my 10gal macro/softie/invert tank, but very limited macro selection around me... Please PM me when you trim your macros... Id love some halymenia and octodes!

I love the macros,especially the blue scroll,red grapes and dragon breaths,the mangrove is beautiful.The bristle worm is like you said awesomely coloured.You should ad a banded pipefish pair and a seahorse pair,it would be beautiful with them. ;)

This is an awesome tank! So glad to see you still are growing a ton of macros. My hermits ate all the macros I bought off you so when I switch over to my 45 gallon the hermits aren't making the move. Then I can purchse some more of these beauties from you and hope they look half as good in a few months! :)
