brad908 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Quick iPhone pic while walking past the tank. Looks like he might be getting a little more comfortable in the tank. Changed spots to the front corner 6 Quote Link to comment
reefaramos Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Planted This. This is so awesome. The photgraphy, the setup of the tank complimented by the ambience of the room and the computer desk. This is awesome. This is the what I want my house to look like when the time comes and the image of the type of lifestyle I'd like to create. Fish and modern. Awesome, man. 3 Quote Link to comment

mattgreene22 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 So are you sumpless on the salt tank? What approach is that using now for top off? Great stuff Quote Link to comment
brad908 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 So are you sumpless on the salt tank? What approach is that using now for top off? Great stuff Yes, this tank has been sumpless for quite a few months now. I currently do manual topoff. I don't have any set schedule, just whenever I remember to dump FW in which usually comes out to about twice a week. 1 Quote Link to comment

4x5 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Where do you suggest getting mangroves from? You can find them pretty easily and cheaply on eBay. 1 Quote Link to comment

This tank was eBay, the mangrove tunnel seedlings were from my algae source, and John at reefcleaners sells them too. __________________________ Not sure who it was on here, but shout out to the person that tagged me on IG on an account posting an older picture of this tank.

brad908 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Everyone should go blast but not follow this IG page - https://www.instagram.com/reefmarineaquarium/ I don't care about getting the credit, especially when I don't post any pics on IG and want to drive traffic for followers, but it is annoying and wrong. They've also taken 4x5 photos, and I am sure plenty of others from here. 1 Quote Link to comment

brad908 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Went to the Bay Area coral farmers market today. Pretty underwhelming to be honest. Very small pieces and over priced. I picked up a clam from Unique corals then went to my lfs and got a couple monti cap frags. Overly blue iPhone pics Legendary corals: Neptune aquatics stores display tanks Their peninsula tank is amazing 4 Quote Link to comment
brad908 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Clam Clown gang Growing up quick The mandarin is still alive and well but he lives in the cave and nearly impossible to get a pic to come out. 5 Quote Link to comment

brad908 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Nice! Love the new clam addition! Thanks! Hopefully more clams to come. I always wanted them in there but wanted to wait for the tank to mature. I was able to hold off for 15 months Quote Link to comment
