46 to 65gal upgrade. New photos added 1/17

Since the last update I have removed the jasmine polyps from the frag disk and adjusted the flow a little to get a little more movement on them. The purple acans have been eating leftover pellets that flow their way and have inflated wonderfully but the rainbow acan still looks like it could use some help. I also think the Ricordea that I thought was 2 heads is actually just one that has been undergoing splitting.

Also it seems for the first time my nitrates are either 0 for very close to it!

 

Generally I'm not a huge fan of bowfront tanks. I like this one! Looks great man, keep us updated with pics!

 

Thanks for the kind words! I think I overpost pictures I do not have that much going on in there yet:LolLolLol and have been going slow with the build adding about some coral once a month and a fish every couple months but will keep updating as things change!

 

New addition today, decided on a Tiger Watchman Goby. I am afraid it might get a little large for a 46gallon but liveaquaria suggests only a 30gallon so I should be ok. Pictures to follow

 

As promised more photos
The other morning I found that baby bristle worm has all grown up on me! Hadnt seen the guy in awhile but man its grown


The new guy, named him Mike and he is a landscaper/screener. Photos taken about 30min after acclimation so colors were still kind of drab

 

I like your Tiger Watchman he is really cool.

LOL, on the Bristleworm, I am kind fond of mine as well, and he is huge!!!

 

Thanks, yea I saw him enter the tank when I bought a small piece of liverock. Was maybe an inch and barely visible now the thing has got to be 4 inches or so long.

The Goby is interesting thats for sure. Darts around the base of his favorite rock and even moved the coral frags to a position of his liking before mounding a pile of sand at the entrance of his tunnel.

 

Tank is looking great so far, I love bowfronts. I have a 72 right now and I am thinking about going up to the 180-200 gal.

 

Thanks for the kind words.,

I agree bowfronts are great looking tanks, only drawback is the front glass can be a little more difficult to clean because of the bow but not that big of an issue! I plan on upgrading to a 72bow at some point a 180-200bow now thats a build I would follow!

 

The Jasmine Polyp has really begun to expand. The original polyps have grown in size and length and it sent out a bunch of new runner-like things that have multiple new polyps growing off of them


Mike is not doing so good really hoping the guy pulls through though
