Lalani Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 You got problems, Chris. How many is that now? Link to comment
fewskillz Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 This will be display #4, plus 29 gallon QT and a temporary 55 gallon cichlid tank with some fish that are in limbo. 19 tanks total counting the sumps and empties. I'm very aware of my problem. This tank is actually part of the end game. I've had a little bit of everything over the years and have decided this is a tank I want long term. That's why it's all new equipment, no half-assed compromises. Link to comment
got2envy Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 You go boiiiii! can't wait to see it Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've been collecting frags like a mad man. The heater will be dialed in tomorrow and then I can pull everything from QT and aquascape this bad boy. Very happy with this setup so far. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks! Going bare bottom, for now at least. I can always add sand later. Link to comment
got2envy Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I went BB too! I painted the bottom of my 15g the same Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 All cleared up and temp dialed in. Corals tomorrow if I don't stay at the office too late like I did tonight. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I moved 14 frags over tonight and most of them started to open immediately. I have a few more things to frag from the 180 to move over, including Lani's famous yumas and some BamBam zoas. Today's frags included green mushrooms, teal mushrooms, grape ricordea, orange ricordea, tricolor ricordea, two heads of candy cane and a bunch of zoas/plays: God of wars, red ufo's, rde's, watermelons, nuclear greens and purples, GB packers, and a few others that I don't know the names of. It's going to be a long day at work knowing everything should be open when I get home. Hopefully I'll have time to glue everything down tomorrow. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Everybody is open and happy except for the reds. Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Looking good / nice and simple !!!! I love BB / so easy to clean too !!! Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm very happy so far. Hopefully my reds will open tomorrow. I still need to pull the few things from the 180, too. I'll probably glue stuff tomorrow, even though I haven't completely decided where everything is going. Guess I'll just wing it... I'm taking suggestions on fish. I can't have a tank without at least one fish, I'm wanting something colorful and active. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 The Red zoas still aren't open. Link to comment
got2envy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice!! I likey the blue damsel Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nice!! I likey the blue damsel Thanks. I like him too. I've had him for awhile bouncing around between different tanks. He's colorful and active, which are nice qualities for a nano fish. I might get him a True Percula buddy, but I don't want to overwhelm the bioload. I added a few heads of BamBams from the 180, the opened immediately. I'll add one of Lani's yumas once I can get to them, they're attached to a rock at the bottom of the stack in the 180. Still waiting on those red UFOs, I don't know why they won't open. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Finally some red peeking out! Link to comment
fewskillz Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 New Fire Shrimp: New plate: Forest Fire digi, it seems really happy so far, great PE: Fire and Ice: Left to right: GB Packers, Bams, and some random green zoa: Rics and Mushrooms island: The big rock: FTS: Ignore the pissed off leather coral on the left and the zoa frags in the middle, they're going to another tank. I'm really enjoying this nano so far. I let the bottom get pretty dirty while it was covered in frags and I was letting everything settle in. I got it mostly clean last night, I'll get it the rest of the way next water change. Sorry these are phone pictures. Once everything is settled into its glued-down spot I'll get out the real camera.
