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

Good to know .....& will probably get my CUC there too since I need one (plus added CUC for the nano) and local prices are too high.

 

So I got bored and took some pics of the Fiji rock in my 46...the rest will be Pukani since I like it better and has lots of hole in it for an in tank refuge for pods.
This Fiji is OK since it has some holes and caves and ledges for corals.

very nice i cant wait to see what your future aquascape is going to look like

 

Thanks, the right side rock on the top has a hole that is perfect to put a reef plug in, so my birds nest will be going there (is on a plug).;D

 

Got sand in there today...no more rock yet since the LFS was out of the Pukani!
Will be taking a Platinum Sailfin Molly from the nano tank and transferring it to this one (the 46) tonight...ordered macro algae and mangroves for the tanks too. Will post pics when the water clears...hope to get more rock later this week.

 

Got pics this evening I just have a single 23 watt 6500k twisty bulb on it for now.

 

I see some sand! This is getting exciting.

 

woohoo! Progress!!

 

its coming to life just that much closer to getting fishies

 

Thank you all.
Yup progress...still don't know for sure what to do w/those 2 big rocks...have some ideas the right side is open for the Pukani rock. I will top the white sand with a larger grain size fiji pink color sand (they were out of that too :-/ from someone setting up a 180 gal).

There are FISH... 2 SW acclimated Mollies in there to finish up the cycling process ;D

Later this month or 1st of next month I think I'll add a Yellow Watchman Goby & a Randall's Pistol Shrimp pair and some pods...then in a month a pair of Blue Mandarins (trained to eat mysis though).
