It has been forever since I last posted on the forums here. I originally had a 55 gallon setup. Since then I have upgraded to an 80 gallon deep blue tank with the dimensions of 48x24x16. The tank has been running successfully up and running for six months now. I have an issue that is brown...

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. Here are some updated pictures of the tank. It has come a far way. FTS: Here is a great picture of my pipe coral that my wife took: This a protein skimmer I recently purchased and it seems to be doing it's job well: I got small piece...

I upgraded my light. I was running two T12 10,000k and a T8 actinic. I know that was a bad light system, but it was what I had available. I replaced it with a 48" Odyssea T5 HO fixture. It has 2 T5HO 10,000k and 2 actinics along with 4 built in moonlight leds. I read mixed reviews on the Odyssea...

That's great news about your manderine. It's great that that LFS will train the fish for you. That way you will be able to be sure it would eat what you are feeding.

Yeah they are doing well. They took a bit to become accustomed to the tank, but now they seem happy.

Thats great news. Can't wait to see a pic.

Yes, yellow tangs are neat. My LFS has quite a few of them. Do not know much about their care though.

Have you considered a wrasse of some sort. I have a Canary Wrasse or Banana wrasse. Bright yellow and very pretty with lots of personality. I just posted a pic of mine in my journal if you want to see what they look like.

My wife got a decent pic of the Canary wrasse and some others. Canary Wrasse Diamond Watchman Goby Star Polyps

Place the powerhead side in the water where you want it and hold it there. Then take the other half and place it on the otherside of the glass away from where you have your power head held. Then slide that piece up to your powerhead. This should stop from them slamming together.

Yes a Banana wrasse. Although, I call it a canary wrasse lol. I ried to get a close pic of him, but he hides when I get close with camera. It's funny because I can get close to the tank without the camera and he won't hide lol. I have about 45lbs of live rock now. I have a internal and back...

Yes, I would like to get one. I might wait a little longer as my tank is finally starting to do really good now and I would hate to throw it out of whack with another fish. I would also like a Red Scooter Blenny.

Here is a bigger FTS.

Alright lol. I'll keep you in mind and make sure full tank shots are bigger. :good:

Sorry to hear about your cleaner wrasse. It's good to know your gonna try again. I hope your Mandarin does well. I would like one, but I do not know how long I should wait for one. My tank is 3 months old since I upgraded. Congratulations on doing well in school.

I made all my pictures 400x300. It makes faster load times for those that dont have decent computer or Internet connection like I do.

I have more live rock and a few corals in now. I also attached a metallic blue back to the tank. So far so good. this picture i was trying to get a pic of a mushroom coral that had moved between the rocks.

Ya. I put a blue metallic back on my 10 usg nano. Thats what I'd like on the 55usg but couldn't find big enough at LFS.

I am not sure what to get. I didn't like any I have seen. I thought about painting the back of the tank black, but I cannot get behind it very easily. The tank is too heavy to move lol.

Sorry to hear about your frogspawn. I just got a frogspawn frag as well. I have had it for two days. So far it is doing great. Stop on by my journal I just put a pic of it up yesterday that came out very nice.

Thanks much for the compliments. You are right it is a Xenia. The rock behind it with the pink or red coloring is actually a skeleton of some coral I bought off my LFS cause I thought it looked neat. Here is the full tank shot lol. As you can see my corals are all little frags but I hope they...

Got a new coral today. Do not know what kind lol. Could use help Identifying. Have pics really figured out camera now. New Coral Christmas Favia have had for two weeks now A better pic of my frogspawn

Your tank does look very nice. I like your corals. I just got a new Frogspawn coral. You should take a look at my journal. It's not as in depth as yours. I agree with seffie, the cleaner wrasse should stay qt'd till the wound goes away. My canary wrasse had a mark on his side but it healed nicely.

Just got this nice Frogspawn. It opened right up in my tank. It's just a baby frag right now, but I hope to see it grow nice and big. The picture came out quite nice. Starting to figure out my camera.

Yes my LFS owner gave me phosphate remover to put in with my filter cartridge for free. I might try and submit the photo just got to figure out how lol.

Them corals look nice and so does the fish. Sorry to hear about your clown. It is trial and error. Do not let it discourage you.

Told ya it looks fantastic and I hope it grows as well.

I got myself a beautiful frogspawn frag today. It is doing great so far. Opened right up in my tank. It was part of a 54 US dollar piece and the frag was 18 US dollars. I love this hobby. Here is a nice image.

Going to pick up more live rock today. I am really excited about this tank but still want to take my time and cycle it right.

Yes, I'm surprised they didn't get fried. All is well now. :)

None of that mushy stuff.

Baby?

Thanks about the light. I am not really wanting fish in this tank. I was leaning towards what corals would go well with sexy shrimp.

My heater was blaring hot today :(. Time for a new one. But I have to wait for the wife to get home.

My one fish looks like he has ich or velvet. I have medicine but there is noway I can catch him to put in a separate tank. He is clever and hides. I have corals and inverts so i cannot put he medicine directly in the tank. I do not know what to do. My other fish seem unaffected.

Your tank makes me frown at mine :P. However, mine is only two months old. I just do not have a clue how to get the colors that you have produced in your tank.

I have decided to start a little 10 USG Nano. I posting this a bit late but the tank has been up for one week. I only have a 2 lb piece of live rock in it right now. I will get more at the end of the week because my LFS is having a Black Friday sale. I went with aragonite sand. It has a acintic...

I will be watching your progress because I have recently started up a 10 gallon nano and plan on going he same way. No fish, some easy corals, and im going with sexy shrimp. It is currently cycling.

My tank is better now, but I haven't posted in awhile. Here are new pictures.

I have to go with Sand. Like Nemo said sand dwelling creatures are nice to have.
