I do 15% Water Changes weekly using IO Reef Crystals. I will be venturing into corals soon, Zoas, Shrooms, maybe some LPS. I don't do any dosing or supplementation as of now. I don't have a Mag test kit, so no #'s. Pay no attention to the cords and strips on the side...I will be building an extension onto the stand to cover that up, and house my 10 Gallon ATO Reservoir. I just ordered a RKL Controller, so I'll be toying with that over the next week or so.

Let me know your comments, suggestions, utter disapproval, whatever.

WOW!!! Half rounds are cool!!!! Especially when they are that big!!!!

Looks great!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

 

That tank looks huge for the # of gallons.

I like the viewing it affords without corners to obstruct the view.

It is a very nice looking setup, it really is attractive with the hood and stand.

It does have a lid right? That BJF will jump eventually.

 

Great looking tank congrats

 

Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, it is a different type of viewing tank for sure, as you have to view it straight on to whatever you want to look at...if you go at angles, it blurs. I have 3 lids on it, 1/4" Nylon mesh screen tops from BRS that I built to size...PITA for a rounded tank too. If he does jump, he has a long way to swim before he can...so far, he hasn't come out of his cave by more than 2 inches. Curious little fellow though, watches my every move.

Thanks.

 

nice tank and jawfish! love those little guys

 

Great tank and love the jawfish.

Had to check out your tank when on another thread you said you only had 45lbs of base rock in it but looks like more.

You weren't kidding. Now I know how much to order for mine, as a start anyway.

 

Thanks. That is all Pukani Rock from BRS. I have re-scaped since too.

I am acclimating right now. But I will take some new shots tonight.

 

Here is an update of my Ricordea Garden.

CoralMorphologic.com is who I have to thank. Superb quality and customer service!
