Great looking tank.

That Galaxea should do good for ya.
Just be mindfull of its placement cause it one of the more aggressive corals.

Thanks...that's what made me get it...I saw it stinging the hell out of a montipora at the lfs and fell in love with it:D

I keep it around 8 inches from the xenia...in hopes the xenia will stop growing like crazy in that direction.

I'm sorry to say, but the clam died a while back...it was my fault, I removed it from the rock, causing his foot to rip, which killed it:frustrat:...thinking of getting another one soon.

Next time, press a metal butter knife up against its foot when you want to move it. It should release it on its own when it feels the metal.

Credit card works good for getting clams to turn loose too.

Just an update...I traded in the naso tang, and walked away with a new skimmer from the lfs...an Aqua C Remora. Its producing skimmate like crazy.

Full tank shots since I moved a few things around...

My frogspawn is starting to split again...

And my duncans too...

And last but also least...the lazy ass conch.

whoa!

 

[dcantucson]

Looks great Smitty. You have got tons of purple growth! Watch that Xenia so it doesn't take over.

 

[Smitty]

You're right, the xenia is starting to become a concern. I'll probably just give some away, that's if the lfs doesn't want it. They have tons also.

 

[project5k]

beautiful!

i'm wondering one thing tho...

i see 3 powerheads, what size are they?

 

[Smitty]

I have a koralia 1 at the bottom,along the sand...a koralia 2 and 3 at the top, for the ripples...and a maxi jet powerhead behind the rocks for movement back there.

I'll take some!!!
