[Reefnjunkie]

Thanks for all the compliments

a few chalics, and some SPS, I cant get the blue from the LEDs out when I do a top down, time for some reading I guess

My newest fish that has been hiding for going on day 3-hope all is good, the blue throat was not the friendliest, not bad really but "she" is hiding, hopefully alive-Wish I read about Mike and Terry's acclimation box sooner

Nice pics, thanks for sharing! Hope your newest addition is doing ok...

 

[Ch3tt]

Love the in-wall look! beautiful setup and coral!

 

[Sahin]

This is an absolutely beautiful setup. :smile:

I would love to see more of these SPS coral shot eye candy haha! :bigsmile:

Do you have photos of the LED setup and details of how many RB to White LED's etc etc?

I read your whole thread, you went through some difficult times dude. Well done on setting up this amazing reef tank. I have an LED/T5 tank and I really like the overall apperance of the light.

Show off your corals and reef, post more coral shots ok? :haha:

Thanks for the compliment-its been way to long since I have posted some pics-

In the interim, I have replumbed the tank since in hindsight that neat "manifold" that I had to redirect water to 4 seperate pipes was a terrible idea. I restricted water flow even when I swapped impellers and added the 4400GPH one I have.
Part of the issue was going straight to 1" PVC from 1.5" which also hurt.

Did it need to be done? No but I just cant leave things along that I know can be better-

I now have 1.5" all the way to the front returns that are reduced to 3/4" right about were the loclines screw into the 90 degree return elbow.

Anyway I think the motivation for the few pics was my newest wish I got. Its chillin out in the acclimation box and is eating already-:clap2:

Its a Red Headed Wrasse (Halichoeres rubricephalus)
These are shots I got right after putting him in, he wont stay still long enough anymore to get a decent pic

And here are a few more I snapped while the camera was out-:tongue:

This is my 2nd Sargassum, the 1st one disappeared after 3 days and was never seen again-This onr has been in the tank for a few months I think

Its to bad I can see the elecrtical panel at the other end-LOL

A few of my LPS

A couple wall hammers

Future Sticks-

Anyway thats a few-Next time I need to grab the tripod for some better quality shots, but these aren't to shabby

Thanks for looking!

It was a tough addition, I thought I lost it (died) for a while-it literally went MIA for 3 days, on day 4 when I thought, "there goes another 100.00 down the drain" 'ol red swims out from behind the rocks-

thats been about 3 weeks so I am out of the woods

this is one of the craziest tanks i have ever seen!!! great job, i hope to have a tank this cool some day.

It's been a dream for decades (literally)
Thanks for the compliment!

Great looking tank and corals bro!! =)

Ah my brutha from another mutha-Thanks man, there is some sexyness in there fro sure. My Del Fuego is "growing up" as are many other pieces I got from you-I've been lurking and have seen a few lovelys I wouldn't mind adding

A reef fishes dream! Looks great and awesome wrasse!

Thanks Rev, I keep seeing Mike and Terry posting new fish in their 300 so I gotta have room for more....Dont I-

Great looking tank and corals. Love the new addition.

Its a really cool fish-Its been less than a month and this little guy eats from my hand, I was trying to get a snail to attach to the side of the tank the other day so my hand was cupped while waiting for the snail to attach-'Ol red swam into my hand and hung out-it was

My most current addition (there have been many since my last update) is a LARGE donut coral that I traded my Oregon Tort Colony for. I think this thing is at least 8 inches across and I could not resist the trade I made. The tort had close to 3 years of growth and had 4 thick branches with the tallest only measuring 6" but I have about a dozen frags with the largest being 3" so I'll just start over.

So here is my 20.00 donut (thats what I paid for the frag about 3 years ago)

And here are few quick pics while the camera was out-I keep telling the fish to hold still but...........

Thanks for looking!

Dang I did not realize how long its been-Its sad looking at the above photos, My Lineatus kicked the bucket, my male Hawaiian jump out somehow getting past the screen tops, the flasher got eaten-
Needless to say my bio load is much less than it was-

I also got rid of the potters and added a leopard and I think the Chevron is new since then as well-The tank looks much different now but
here is a FTS from 11-15-12
