May 7th, 2017 - Photo Update

The journal spilled over to a new page, have to add one more photo for today.  This is my latest addition.  I've wanted these for a long time but have always resisted without lids.  With lids in place, I have my Helfichi's!

Very nice fish!

[jstuver]

So in love with this build!!

Great looking tops! Don't think they take away from the tanks at all. 

Appreciate that - I think they are as good as a lid can look.

I am dosing, just a few ml's per day but it's keeping everything locked in.

Appreciate the kind words.

It's frustrating to have to have a lid on each tank, but the peace of mind you gain (and those Helfichi's!) is worth it! These lids really turned out nice and don't distract from the aesthetics of the whole system one bit. Another thoughtful design as always.

Those lids look amazing! 

Also, those firefish are stellar

Wow, I'm so excited to see this.  Beautiful work, Brad!  I'm at a loss for words at the moment. Finally caught up!

Agree - It's nice to come in the room and not be looking down at the floor for a fish.  Thanks for the kind words on my "thoughtful design"

Yep - He's always in the middle of everything.

Thanks so much.  I'm digging the firefish as well.

Just a gorgeous build, man. Everything was so thoughtfully done. Congrats!

One word; stellar.

Love it. How'd you manage to get a helfrichi pair?

Really appreciate the view and comment.  Now just need good water chemistry and time.

Thanks!  Time, money and patience.   I gave my LFS owner my wish list a few months ago.  He's slowly been chipping away at the fish I want.  He was able to get the pair from one of his distributors.

Beautiful fish, and beautiful tanks!  How big is each one of the tanks?

Thanks for the view and comment.  Each tank is an standard ADA 60p which is 17g.  Total water volume with all 3 tanks and the sump is right at 50g.

May 9th, 2016 - My Favorite Shots

The tanks are right at 3 months old now.  I wanted to share a collage I put together with a few of my favorite photos up to this point.

May 10th, 2017 - My Favorite Shots

One more compilation that I put together.  I'm going to attempt to put small photo summaries like this together every few months to show the progression of the tank.  This is kind of an extension of what I did with Project 365 but much less work and commitment.  Here you have a FTS, FRS and a few of my better coral shots.

Bigger tanks are certainly easier when it comes to water chemistry but I love how quickly I'm able to do water changes.  I'm also enjoying the lower cost of the smaller tank.
