Gilman Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Well it has been 6months since we added live rock to our empty 7gallon minibow. I am as hooked today as ever, and still find myself staring into 7gallons of saltwater here and there on basically a daily basis. My girlfriend has been very helpful with the upkeep and basic maintenance on our reef by keeping the tank topped off with RO water. I think she actually enjoys the tank as much as I do, as there are many times when I am not the only one kneeling there in front of the tank staring... Here are our current tank specs...... 7 Gallon AGA Bowfront 32 Watt CSL Smartlight PC Retrofit CPU Fan for cooling light fixture Tronic 50watt heater Whisper 5-15 HOB Filter Mini Jet 404 Powerhead 8.75 lbs Fiji Live Rock 8.5 lbs Live Sand Corals Candy Cane Coral Frag (Calaustrea sp.) Yellow Polyp Rock Assorted Mushroom Corals Red Sea Xenia Small Tree Leather (Capnella sp.) Frogspawn Frag Green Star Polyps Orange Yellow Zooanthids Orange Purple Zooanthids Peach Green Zooanthids Brown White Zooanthids Peach Brown Zooanthids Toadstool Leather Tree Coral Frag Fish 1 Green Banded Goby Inverts 5 Blue Legged Hermit Crabs 3 Astrea Snails Numerous Stomatella Snails Bristle Worms (Lost Count) Tiny Hitch Hiker Brittle Stars Halimeda Here are some current photos of our tank and creatures.... Looking across our tank from the right side. Our newest Zooanthids added yesterday! Our first frag...... It had 3 polyps when we got it. It now has 6 polyps and many of those have 2 mouths. We moved our Green Star Polyps from the sand finally up onto one of our pieces of Live Rock. It is now holding on to the rock and hopefully will grow all over it in time. Hopefully the next 6 months will go as well as our first 6 months have, Gil Link to comment
birdman204 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 adinsxq . I am assuming you know Gil Gilman, I was reading a past post, Is Petown considered your LFS? I shop there occasionally. They do have the biggest selection I have seen in south county, Maybe you could direct me to a few other stores? Black Coral is ok for selection as well, but I have never purchased anything from them. Link to comment
