SkyFire's 46 Bow Front - Update 1-1-16

More pics.

Spike Freckles & Bishop w/two peppermint shrimp in the background.



















I also added an Evo 1400 and changed the flow a bit and now the cardinal is out & about more. The LTA seems to love it and is getting huge, need to accelerate the 113 build to move it, I read they can get up to a foot across and it's now about 6-7" at the base of the tentacles when fully expanded.

 

Thanks.
Yeah my sea hare is missing so.....guess it didn't last long, but was very cool.

Spot has been a good lil' puffer and doesnt touch myu CUC whch currently consists of 3 nerite snails, 2 hermit crabs and 2 now large peppermint shrimp.
I need to refresh the crew.


Correction: the sea hare has reappeared! Yay!

 

Very nice.
I'd really like to put mine in the reef tank but I'm afraid he'd destroy my cuc and I have a beautiful pair of Golden Coral Banded Shrimp that I just don't wanna risk.

 

Awww....freckles is too cute..is that a type of scooter blenny?

 

Thanks (yeah he is a cutie and a scooter blenny), and he is a male as he (like male a mandarin) has a sail.

 

A couple of days ago I added 4 lbs of sand a as well as a Dendrophilia coral.

Today I added a 4lb piece of dry rock.





The nem is anchored to a small hole/tunnel in the rock and will occasionally switch sides, and it recently moved to the back.

I hope that dendro works out for ya, I really love those things. Your set up is looking really cool. Well done : )

 

The tank is really improving. Looks great! Keep it up.

 

Thanks I hope so too, it ate as soon as I put it in the tank ;D
Thanks again for the compliments, it's finally looking decent w/o all the ugly algae I've been battling since sincen set up.

Thanks. I'm finally feeling good about it.

 

my tank has gone thriugh some changes, not all for the better. It's been in the care of my mom for about 3 months but hope to bring it to my new apartment sonetime this month. My (and everones) favorite fish got spooke & jumped tank as did one other (freckles).
Newly added are a bi color angel, a strawberry pseudochromis & a neon goby. Pics to follow.
