Diskusting Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Im lovin that chalice. That bubble algae is odd. Does it have the same properties and green bubble algae? Link to comment
travisurfer Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 amazing tanks as always Link to comment
icenine Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 ...not exactly. It's "softer" than the valonia I have seen and it seems to have holes or vents on it that at first lead me to think it was some sort of sponge. Link to comment
icenine Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Here is a closer pic of the algae: Link to comment

icenine Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 This is what our other pets think of reef keeping, taken while I was doing this weekend's tank maintenance ( "wakes us when something jumps out or you are doing something more exciting than scraping the glass with a credit card .....k?" ): Link to comment
moppy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Just curiour about a few things. Is everything stock? Pumps, lights, and you used everything RS provided for the back of the tank? NO live rock rubble or Purigen etc...??? And do you find that things die quite a bit (or at least slowly dwindle until their gone) or am I just doing something wrong? I just got the RSM and am hoping to get it going soon. I also have a BC29 going but I have lost a number of creatures over the past few weeks. Very frustrating. Thanks Link to comment
Haagenize Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 ello just dropping by, ur tank still looks nice =] just gotta wait a few weeks eh Link to comment

I also have a BC29 going but I have lost a number of creatures over the past few weeks. Very frustrating. Thanks Lights are stock... so are the pumps, save for the HK I added. I use nothing but a bag of carbon and the stock skimmer in the back. ...as for losing animals, not really. Everyone loses animals now and then. Most of my losses have been due to my own stupidity (i.e I left fleshy LPS in too strong a flow, left agressive corals too close to each other or fragged something to death). As for your BC29, how long has it been running and what animals have you lost over what time period? Link to comment

Douma Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Wow Ice, Glad to see everything survived all the moves. I just spent an hour reading through this topic. Pretty sweet...I've never dabbled with live coral - but you got skills. Keep up with the pics, that tank is awesome! Link to comment
icenine Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Nothing exciting, nothing new... just stuff growing out. The sps I added are doing well, in particular the montis. Here is that orange polyp jobber when I added it back in what? ..the middle of June I think? ...and this weekend: Nothing outstanding or anything, but I think it's looking pretty good. I'm still using a low maintenance approach to sps keeping, no dosing or dripping anything, water changes are the only replenishment. Link to comment
icenine Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ah... every now and then the reefing gods smile upon you. In this case I had been looking to add a gold maxima for some time now, but was holding out for one that was just right. Stopped into a LFS tonight that honestly I've never been a huge fan of and low an behold they have among several croceas a huge (as in round about 6") and stunning gold maxima. ...for all of 40 bucks. Here is a pic after having just dropped it in the tank. *edit* replaced with a pic the day after.... Link to comment
Rocket Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I want a Clam so bad, now I'm jealous! Link to comment
c est ma Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 That looks like two pythons lying there! Sweet clam!! --Diane Link to comment
travisurfer Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 that is one amazing clam. how about an fts? this is afterall one of the best looking tanks on the site. Link to comment
nUgZ Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Very nice clam. I second the FTS request. Link to comment
icenine Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks! I replaced the original pic with one I too this evening.... she was a bit more relaxed today and showing a bit more color than in the pic I posted yesterday but most importantly she did not budge from the spot I set her in last night. I'll try a get a decent FTS this weekend. Things are looking a bit more grown out and a new FTS should look much better than the last. Link to comment
Hoobahans Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Oh man, maybe you mentioned it and I am just an idiot, but where did you get that clam! It is gorgeous. I've been eying fragglereef for a few weeks now...they have some sweet clams. I have told myself no more purchases this year. It is so hard to keep to that after looking through your thread. Great tank. And I agree, FTS! Link to comment
icenine Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hmmmm... maybe an update is in order? It has been a while. The new year may bring lots of new pics of this now three year old reef. Link to comment
colinadam Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Yeah a huge update is in order What fish do you have now? Didn't you used to have the Indigo Dottyback? Link to comment
PurpleUP Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Whoa. I caught a glimpse of this tank somewhere on the internet earlier this year and immediately I thought this has to be one of the most beautiful nano's I've ever seen. Excellent use of macro algae to accent the aquascape, I thought. Right-clicked and saved the pic on my hard-drive. And now I've found the thread! Looking forward to see what your tank looks like today. Link to comment
