Re: 180 gallons up in this!!!! NWKRC!

Ok so i thought i would post some recent pics up of the changes that have been made in my tank..... Finally the coral lovers out there will be pleased.




Picked up some new corals for the tank. some are doing better than others. and of course I will throw up some new pics of the fish too.

here is a pic of my toadstool and the mushrooms.






here is a huge zoanthid colony i got.









picked up this HUGE cabbage coral. 9i believe thats what its called and there is an encrusting gorgonia on the edge of it.













FTS








Jack up close








picked up some more turbos, they are doing my dirty work on the edges i dont want to do!!!







6 line cruisin in the corals








Jack swimmin








Sohal making his rounds..... (I LOVE this fish! LOVE him. he is so active and so fun to watch now that he has completely warmed up to the tank)









Koran






Picked up a Deltec MCE600 skimmer. goodbye css never will i buy another css in my life!








chemiclean worked great for the cyano, also picked up some k4s to try to up the current. added some macro algea and a light to the sump to make some more effort to get rid of the hair algea in the tank.








I know what your thinkin, yep that light is hanging by zipties

Re: 180 gallons up in this!!!! NWKRC!

question for you Doc. have you had zoanthids with your Koran? the colony now looks like a flaming pile of crap and the only thing i can think of is that he is eating them. I have heard they are hit and miss with this fish. here is the sad pic of the coral. and it was fine for weeks and within days here is what it looked like.

AWESOME my friend!!! I am stoked about the sohal! I will live vicariously through you about the sohal! I have to be true to my angelfish!

great looking cabbage coral as well as the zoas. Your tank is coming along nicely. Keep the pics coming!
