thepanfish's 55 Reef

Yesterday Mattias and someone else brought up my old build thread from June. Needless to say the tank has been through a lot (especially a move) so I figured since its so different know, another new build thread.

Gone is the pinnacle nutrient sink reef structure of old. In is 2 coral bommies with a massive Goniopora reaching between the two. Gone are the weak Koralia 750s, having been replaced with 2 new 1050s. Gone is the mishmash of corals wherever I liked them, corals are now placed according to flow leading to better colors. And finally, gone is the GHA!

Small Bluethroat Trigger 3"
PAIR of appie destroying Pearlscale Butterflyfish
2 Green Chromis

I know by now you want an FTS, I'll get one up in a bit when the daylights come on. So thats my boring little piece of the reef for you guys. Now two years old.

 

Looks like you've learned a lot since the last setup. Waiting for pictures. ;D

 

are you using KISS to represent "Keep it simple stupid?"

I look forward to the images the Panfish , certainly sounds like it contains some very nice looking corals and a less crowded aquascape now

Steve

 

No Steve, KISS represents the hard rock band created by my fish LOL.
Yes you're right ;D

Good to see you on here BTW.

 

You will upset Vinny if he thinks your painting the faces of your fish?

I look forward to seeing images of you new Detroit rock city, later

 

I knew that band was behind everything. Lol man that Duncan must be HUGE!

 

Looking foward to it! I just set up a 55 thats still cycling

 

Nice man! It sounds like you have alot of nice pieces of coral. Looking forward to seeing pictures.

 

Ready for images sir!

 

Umm, are you just teasing us? Sounds like you have learned so much. That sounds like a lot flow in there lol.
