calvin415 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Nice tank Pico, great balance, great selection of corals! Wish I could find place for a plate myself, looks fantastic even with the slight scar. Link to comment
nano7joy Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 WOW Thats a beauty. Wish I could find livestock of that quality anywere near St. Louis . Looks like this will be a tough one to judge its gotta be a hard decision, glad I dont have to do it. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Tank looks great, I have been thinking about ORA naked clowns for my sps nano. I think a pair of clowns would be a total chick magnet at the dorms though. lol. Tanks are always chick magnets....I used to have 100 gal tank in my room with a 12" panther grouper....Girls used to come over and be like "opps I think my panties fell in the fish tank!"

Rene Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Nice tank, there are some interesting corals in there. Watching things grow out should be fun! Link to comment
pico1 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Thanks Calvin! I am the kind of person that likes everything to be balanced and symmetrical. The plate coral is doing better every day (nitrates are at 0). NanoJoy & Rene, thanks! I've found that you get the best livestock when you trade and buy from other local reefers. Ather interesteing thing I realized was that everything in this tank is aquacultured except the plate coral and the fire shrimp. Link to comment
travisurfer Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think the most interesting part about this contest is that many of the stock entries looker nicer and overall much healthier than the custom's Link to comment
pico1 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks Travis! The tank is doing very well even though it dropped down to 68 when I left the window open one night I added a TON of new stuff and things are starting to show good growth! Nitrates are still at 0 with the bio-wheel. I'll post a FTS soon. Here are the new additions. derasa clam (a test to see if they can really thrive under PCs) I feed live phyto, rotifers, and DT's oyster eggs. It's an ORA clam BTW. tonga blue shroom more UFO alien palys, praying mantis palys, flaming meanie greenie zoas, and more blue zoas floorlord's palys more blastos more cloves two head frogspawn mean green zoas Link to comment
pico1 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 I also forgot to mention that I installed 2 blue LED moonlights. There is some awesome flouresing going on at night! I'll try and get some pics of that soon as well. Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 When is the deadline to stock the tank? Link to comment

lgreen Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Wow. I like everything you added. Nice find on the derasa. I don't think I've ever seen a derasa that looked that cool. Link to comment
Rene Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Ooooh so pretty... Why is it that all these stock tanks look as good as if not better than the custom tanks? Link to comment
pico1 Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 wow, thanks everyone! I don't have access to a camera tonight but so you guys know I'm not cheating I'll atleast list my last additions. I added a blue chalice, a lepastria, and a favia. Link to comment

InvaderJim Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Your tank is beautiful. Makes me anxious about the potential my tank could possibly have. Link to comment
FloorLord Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Dude, tank is off the chain, meng! the paly's look better under your lighting then mine, that's for sure! The Paly's you gave me have probally grown 5-6 times over what you gave me, I dig them alot! The toadstool really looks good in there, dude. D Link to comment
one8thscale Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 WOW! Very nice coral selection. Link to comment
pico1 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks everyone! Corals are starting to really grow and coralline is growing like mad! The bio-wheel was starting to break (turned on and off randomly) and was letting stray electricity into the water causing a few of the corals not to open. I replaced it with a whisper 10 and things are already looking better. I now have only 15x turn over. A bit low for me but the corals look happy so whatever works. Pictures up shortly. I just have to scrape some coralline off the glass. Link to comment
Truck_Under_Water Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 That sucks with the filter. Ive had a penguin filter do that to me as well. Link to comment

You might want to send a PM to Marks, if you haven't already. Link to comment
