and now for something completely different

Thank you clarkkey594
Im going to leave it as it is, there are plenty of flat spots for corals
and I can get decent sized leathers now for the the tops of those islands

Thanks Nitty Gritty
should be a lot less to worry about than the SPS tank
I imagine carbon, GFO and water changes should be about all this set up will require aside from foodstufss

 

Lookin good Steve,even with the rough start.No matter how it turns out,i'm quite sure it'll have that Steve Wright gleam to it.

 

Thank you Grinder

its funny really because the week that the rock spent barely submerged in the emergency holding tanks and buckets
have really helped it
it looks a lot cleaner this time
all the decay and debris was mostly in the base of the tanks it finished curing in

so a blessing in disguise really
basically what we have is a 100% water change after 2 to 3 weeks of die off from the live rock

 

Easy cleanin,you can't beat that!

I really like all the open territory scape for the big leathers.I'm a huge fan of softies and the swaying motion,it really makes a tank come alive.Can't wait to see it stocked up.

 

well despite the 3 or 4 day set back
Im still counting it as tank started on 19th May
so about 19th July, some snails will be added
and then a couple of weeks later
the 1st couple of leathers will be in there.

 

Nice scape Steve

 

Nice scape Steve, you should have fun placing corals with all of those nice flat areas.

 

Thanks John

I may have to just increase the height of some of the steps
otherwise I will not be able to take advantage of all the flat spots

 

update
FTS










3 of the 4 torch corals, are going to be fragged at weekend for dividing between the 18 inch set ups

so I will have space for other leathers and LPS corals in the near future

Steve

 

Beautiful tank, Steve! Love the scape and coral selection.

Oh BTW, I also grew up on the original Star Trek series.
