cthegame's 80 gallon

I figured its time i get my thread started. Wanted to be sure I have some pics before i start the thread...

Here you go. This is my tank so far. It's about 8 months old and i think i have waited long enough and will start stocking it with corals, etc. very soon.


This is my yellow tang, his name is Troy. He loves attention and food. This is an older pic...you can see the algae on the glass)




Best Buddies



The Tower


Some coraline that started to grow on the side




The left side of the tank with plenty of open water


My two clowns, one is named Flash and the other is named Pepsi




Fuge


Another tank only with water which will fill with LR


The only algae i have left YAY!!!

Re: cthegame's 80 gallon

Thanks everyone.

I'm thinking of getting a carpet anemone (
Stichodactyas helianthus) - I have been reading alot on them and know about their aggressive behavior. I still want one. I have this perfect open area on the sand just right for the carpet.

My lights are a 4 watts per gallon.

Any objections? Im also going to dedicate feeding it on a consistent schedule.

Anyone here have one? If so, have you had any problems with them?

Re: cthegame's 80 gallon

The coraline was growing pretty good when i didnt have any real bright lightining. Its still growing with the bright light but i'm starting to believe that maybe light is not the main factor for its growth. Partly, but it was growing like this when i had it under only 130 watts.
