6 Month Update - 7 Gallon Minibow (pics)


Gilman

Recommended Posts

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...

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,

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.
