45 Gallon Reef Diary From Setup To...?

[Mr.September15]

And now that darkness has fallen it is my GREAT pleasure to tell one and all of General Eisenharts victory! On this the 25th day of the 11th month of the 2006th year of our Lord, the Forces of Algae surrendered to General Eisenhart and his Algal Demolitions Army. The enemy has been routed from their positions and ended this war. Som scarring of the field of battle still remains but today is V-A day . Due to General Eisenhart's fierce hunger for combat, he has been transferred out of service to an allied army in hopes of satiating his hunger for battle. Meanwhile, the General's second in command, Major Julio Chaves and his subordinates, Captains Sturm and Beldar will be required to keep any Insurgency at bay. Hopefully they are up to the task.

For a photographic depiction of the General's success, please view these before and after recon photos of the theatre:

After

Now that victory has finally been achieved, command has seen fit to turn its attention to engineering feats. The corps of engineers has been recruited to fabricate new powerheads and more importantly to design a new landscape. A great earthmoving project will be undertaken as soon as the corps has sufficient time.

OooO. It's clean

I dont feed anything directly to the corals like target feeding. I just dump in my mix of food every day. Polyps grab what they can and fish eat what they can. I do feed cyclopeeze and cultured live phytoplankton 3 days a week for my corals to munch on.

Just a little teaser, the corps of engineers visited the theatre this evening and great earthmoving projects were undertaken. Photograps of the theatre will be provided tomorrow evening once the detritus has settled and the glass is cleaned

 

[Mr.September15]

Why do you call it a theatre? Is this whole story supposed to be a little reef tank drama

"Days Of Our Reefs"

Thanks Sam, I really appreciate the compliments, you guys are too kind. Make sure you check back later this evening (or perhaps tomorrow if you're in the UK) for the re-aquascaping pics. Tank looks lots different now.
