Pastey's 200DD--SPS v. 3.0

Hey guys! Had a few minutes to kill so I figured I'd post up a video I took this morning. Not much has changed lately with the tank except I added an Achilles tang.

 

3 min clip of the tank. Was just sitting and watching the fish doing their things. I swear I could watch it for hours.

 

everything looks great. Nice to sit back and enjoy which sometimes we forget to do.

 

I definitely don't do that enough. I'm always worried about something....

 

Hey stranger.

Is that one huge Chromis? How is the 28 gal?

 

Hey! I know.....I've been away. That's a chromis I bought a few years ago when I started my old 8. It was the first fish in there and the first fish in the 200. It has become affectionately known as the "bargain fish" (costed $3) and is tough as nails.

The 28 was taken down after a short run. I got tired of running multiple tanks and if I had to go out of town, I felt like I was training a public aquarium marine biologist on how to care for them all. My 2 Clarkii clowns developed a bacterial infection when I was sick with meningitis so I didn't have the energy to set up a treatment tank....I was very upset. After that, I traded my haddoni at a LFS for some credit and took the tank down. I'll post some recent pictures so you can see more than just a vague FTS.

 

Brought the Nikon out for a couple of shots

Achilles putting on some weight. It still has a ways to go to be as fat as the sailfin but it has twice the appetite!




FTS:


L/S:


R/S:


Red Goni Island:


Zoa island:

Pinks, oranges, sunny d's, fire and ice and gumbys. Hoping to stumble across some king midas or similar bright yellows, a deep red and maybe something like a tubb blue to add and then let them grow out.

 

Added an Advanced Acrylics 20g ATO reservoir.

 

Oh I am sorry to hear about the meningitis, nasty nasty stuff!!!!!!!

The Goniopora is really beautiful, I might have to get one.

Thanks for the update, I have thought about you and your tanks more than once.

 

Picked up a large toadstool (like....measured in feet instead of inches) yesterday. It hasn't acclimated completely and stood up but its massive. Polyps were extended earlier but I imagine it's going to take a few days for it to get truly comfortable.
