fifty50 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 I really dig the aquascaping you did with the LR! Looks real good. Thanks. Looks better now that I removed all the LR from the previous tank, IMO! Now it's the final scape. Link to comment

fifty50 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Nice!!! nice move on removing the old rocks from your new tank!! Looking forward to those new corals you got there. Yea, that was always the plan. They were just in there to seed the new dry rock. Some now live in the sump along with rock rubble. Pics will come in a few hours. New frags already opening up nicely!

Deleted User 4 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice fts man. What kind of lights are you running again??? Seems like your corals are bleaching in a way and I'm thinking its the lights that are causing it to. Link to comment

Seems like your corals are bleaching in a way and I'm thinking its the lights that are causing it to. in person nothing is bleaching. probably just my lack of photography skills. lighting is 4x24w T5HO (2 AB Special, 1 Blue+, 1 Purple Plus).

Deleted User 4 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice additions again. So, have you decided what other kinds of fish you getting? What about a pom pom crab?? sexy shrimps? Link to comment
fifty50 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 was thinking of midas blenny and a trio of blue/green chromis for the fish. but maybe change it around for a fish that is more of a bottom dweller. I'd love a yasha goby and pistol shrimp pair but I have egg crate in the sand so that wouldn't be good for the pair. also want a fire shrimp and thinking of a peppermint shrimp to take care of some aiptasia in the tank. haven't really thought any further but always up for suggestions and have time to add!

Deleted User 4 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I feel like you can add a couple anthias as well with the chromis!! Add pom pom crab, anemone shrimp, sexy shrimp. I don't think you should get a blood red shrimp...those get aggressive overtime. A wrasse would be awesome as well. Link to comment
fifty50 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yea. All in due time. Still only at the 1mo mark with this one! Link to comment

fifty50 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Pulled the trigger on a few things today. Ordered a quick crew from reefcleaners to beef up the lazy CUC that's currently in there. Crabs included this time around. Also took advantage of the free shipping and added a peppermint shrimp to take care of the aiptasia in the tank. Also ordered two T5 bulbs; Coral+ and another Blue+. I currently have (front to back): AB Special Blue+ AB Special Purple+ Decided its a bit too white for my liking. May try the following: Blue+ Coral+ Blue+ Purple+ What do you guys think?

fifty50 Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Try a purple one ahah. already have a purple+ Link to comment
