Strife Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 another nice mini-bow... i like the setup.. keep us posted with some pictures...and let us know how you maintain the tank too .. Link to comment
jdiver Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Thanks NanoReefin and Stryf3. Maintenance: - Weekly 1 gallon water changes - Weekly dosing with Reef Complete - Weekly doing with Phytoplankton - Once or twice daily feeding of fish and shrimp (target feed some corals sometimes too) - Every other day isolated target feeding of sun coral (quite fun!) - And last but not least: Stare at tank for at least 5 hours a day.

Metznreef Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 nice tank! my 7 bow is starting to brighten up with my new corals. i love how the clown goby is perching on the mag-float:happy: Link to comment
Sahin Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Very nice tank! Love the aquascaping work. Done very nicely. Very nice use of soft corals to create a beautiful tank. You've got some nice button polyps in there too. Nicely stocked with critters too. Keep up the good work. How old is the tank? Link to comment
jdiver Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Metznreef- The Clown Goby simply loves the MagFloat. I moved the MagFloat the other day to reach something in the tank and the Clown Goby was on top of it as soon as it stopped moving. I find it ironic that my Clown Goby has adopted a "host" while my Clownfish just looks at my Xenia, Hairy Mushrooms, Leather, etc, and mocks me. Sahin- Thanks for the comments! The tank is about 3 months old. The tank is now pretty much full, so planning has begun in earnest on my 28 gallon bowfront . Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Beautiful! Great job Link to comment
lizbeth Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Beautiful tank! Are you going to keep this setup running when you get the 28 together? Link to comment
anthony812 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 very very nice looking tank...there is so much stuffs in threre...just hope they will grow slowly..^_^ Link to comment
jdiver Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Chris- Thanks! lizbeth- Glad you like it. I am definitely keeping this tank up and running even after the 28 is set up. This tank sits on my desk, so without it I might actually get work done, and we can't have that! anthony- Yep, the tank is full. When I set up the 28 gallon, the leather will be moved, as will the green hairy mushrooms (which are at least triple the size they were in the lfs). I also think the xenia colony will need to be fragged, as it has about doubled since I bought it. Everything in the tank seems to be growing quite well actually. Link to comment
