BeardedReeferLLC Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Awesome build my friend. Love the tank. Link to comment
neuwave Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Thanks Wanna get some sea-fans or some nice sps to add onto the drop off edge. BTW, that acan in your avatar looks insane!!! Do you have a link to your 300g systems anywhere? Your the 2nd one today to ask not really a link but I do have a pic I snapped yesterday. I do need to make a thread.Wasn't really into forums until I got in nanos lol Umm Why do you keep doing this? That is not your tank. Bro that's the show tank at Wide World of Corals. You can see the tank on their counter in the reflection and their product case of chemicals in the reflection as well. You've done this a couple of times. Why do you keep telling everyone this is yours? To the Bello, your tank looks great. Link to comment
Bello Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 :Snap: Badass tank! Thanks for looking . Still a work in progress, and hopefully, things will improve Well, your foxy is still a beast, whether or not it has the average intelligence of a pea. Yeah....Don't have a thread yet....And won't for a good while. I'm getting stuff fixed up after a three month long saga.... Actually, this guy's pretty smart This is the only foxface I've seen eating off the owner's (me ) fingers. They're usually very skittish. 3 months away from your tank? It's gonna be a lotta work getting back into it, good luck Nice photos! That's an honor coming from you Jordon . Have a long way to go before I take those slick pics that you do, but hey, its better than before at least. Picked up a 50mm f1.8 fast lens (i think that's what it is), for my bigger system, and FTS's and fish pics come out pretty good Awesome build my friend. Love the tank. Your's is shaping up pretty well . Love your avatar btw. Umm Why do you keep doing this? That is not your tank. Bro that's the show tank at Wide World of Corals. You can see the tank on their counter in the reflection and their product case of chemicals in the reflection as well. You've done this a couple of times. Why do you keep telling everyone this is yours? To the Bello, your tank looks great. This is rather disappointing to read. Thanks neuwave Link to comment

I meant it's had a bit of a problem which is now coming to end after 3 months. And I'd hope the foxy is smarter this time around. Link to comment
Bello Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 lol, I read "I'M ON A BOAT" on your status, and assumed that you were sailing somewhere Glad to hear that things are coming back around. Link to comment
Hexadron Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You'll love the 50mm 1.8! It's the same one I have. Amazing lens for the price. Can't wait to see some new pics Link to comment
Blubbernaut Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 lol, I read "I'M ON A BOAT" on your status, and assumed that you were sailing somewhere Glad to hear that things are coming back around. Lol, I was on a boat not too long ago, but that was just fishing. Yeah, finally things are getting back to normal in the tank......Stupid ich Link to comment

I was all set to drop some money on the 40mm Nikkor Macro, but thankfully my friend who knows about a million things more than me about photography, forced me into it.... Thank god!!!... And a very reasonable price to boot!!!... I'm not really big on Macro shots, but I wanted better fish and fts pics, and this is really awesome. Have a long way to go, but this is a start I'm due for a rescape in the next couple weeks, should have some nice pics by then Lol, I was on a boat not too long ago, but that was just fishing. Yeah, finally things are getting back to normal in the tank......Stupid ich Ich.......eeek!! lol. Hate it! No matter how experienced you are, ich happens. How old's the tank? What fish you got in there? Personally, I've noticed quite a few fish, like certain tangs and butterflies, always carry 'em around, happy to dole out that crap on us Link to comment

Personally, I've noticed quite a few fish, like certain tangs and butterflies, always carry 'em around, happy to dole out that crap on us I don't know how old the tank is, I got it used from the LFS. It's a NC 28 with only a 6-line, a flametail blenny, and an Occy in it. Kinda small, but it get's the job done. Link to comment
Bello Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 lol, I actually meant how long you've had the tank running for? My bad. Ich issues are usually more common in the first few months of tank setup, as its stabilizing...at least IME. The fish list you've got should pull through well Link to comment

The fish list you've got should pull through well Oh, well, I've had it since last Christmas, but the tank was up and running at the LFS. And yeah, the fishies are doing well, but I think my blenny is nearing the end of his life span.... Link to comment
Bello Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Sorry.. apparently I don't check my own thread... missed your post. How's the blenny doing? Holding up? What happened? A couple pics of frags...I also redid my scape, but still have to clean up. http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20130612007_zpsc2cfb989.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20130612009_zps8d29355a.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Blubbernaut Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The blenny is still doing well, he's just acting out of wack, and every once in a while I'll find him reeeaaally thin. Nice frag, BTW. Link to comment

Lol that's strange , I have a blenny that my friend caught off the beach locally, ugly as hell, but awesome-weird behaviour... Didn't think I'd love the lil guy the way I do I now understand why people like blennys. Though, a Midas I had before, turned out to be really mean, and had to go Got any coral in your tank? Maybe its time to start a thread Link to comment

Maybe its time to start a thread Nope, don't have any coral. I probably won't ever, either. I mean, I like coral, but I'm not sure I'd be able to do well taking care of it. I may get around to making a thread here pretty soon. Link to comment

But, I don't know how you resist, with all these gorgeous tanks on NR. IMO, a well scaped, clean and simple FO tank can easily look great as well, and without the hassle and cost of a reef Link to comment
notwithit Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I.love this idea! Beautiful. Hopefully you find a spot where you can call it finito and just enjoy it. Link to comment

I do need to stop meddling with it. My rescape is complete, just need to clean the glass, and I'll have some pics up soon Thanks for looking Link to comment

Blubbernaut Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Perhaps a FO with macro algaes tank! And Bello, your tank is looking good! It's kinda a FOWLR with pest hitchikers (fireworms, majanos, caulerpa, etc). It's pretty nice, IMO. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Want update. NAO. Link to comment
Bello Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks guys for following along.......... It's been rather crazy over the past few months. I'm now a Dad to a 15 month old, and also have a Main Display 300g system to take care of too. This tank has been neglected to say the least....and to make things worse...the electric company has decided to DOUBLE the electric charges hereabouts....so have been seriously thinking of taking down the tank.... It's just .... I removed all the sps earlier, in I had trouble maintaining alk with 2 part, and its pretty expensive around here. Couldn't rig a calcium reactor up, either.... I may just keep it as a fish only...not much power consumption there, I guess...Dunno.... I did take some coral pics of whatever was left in there....I'd think an update like this would be irritating to read without some pics at the very least....just some zoas and stuff... http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025035_zps15740511.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025032_zps566f33eb.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025032-2_zps2887a683.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025037_zps79cb4f2f.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025038_zps416920c4.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025039_zps09e8372f.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025041_zps24887f1a.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025042_zps288a236c.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025043_zps0396dbdd.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025044_zps960c4077.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025045_zpsb8796594.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131025050_zps9d465d0c.jpg.html'> And a couple pics of my Main system, in which I've been battling Aiptasia, Flatworms, Cyano, Nudis for the last 3-4 months.... http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131016029_zpse6a23058.jpg.html'> http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131019007_zpsaeb0a93a.jpg.html'> The whole rig.. http://s1119.photobucket.com/user/BelloBlue/media/20131019015_zps27928538.jpg.html'> Thanks guys Link to comment
