xmetal's 75 gallon upgrade (2/22/12)

Aren't they all that way. Congrats, controllers are a wonderful tool to have.

 

I rotated a number of these, but it seems as though the website rotated them back to keep them uniform.

 

Everything is looking great. Do you scrape the back glass to keep the coraline off?

 

First attempt at top down;

 

Thank you. I don't scrape coraline off the back glass. All the coraline grows behind and under rocks. Makes my life much easier.

 

Very good job on the top downs.

I get coraline growth on the back glass and wherever my chitons can't get to on the rocks. I don't worry about it on the back so no problem there.

 

Yea, algae really isn't an issue in my tank. As a friend says "your tank is sterile".

My current issue is removing a yellow tang that has started nipping at one of my clams without taking the tank apart.

 

Did I start a top down trend?

One day coralline will get the upper hand on you.

I've always wanted a blue/teal hammer like that, looks very nice.

My candy apple reds have taken off once I placed them up high in the tank. Looking forward to them becoming a money maker for me.

Lastly, I spy a nice looking sunset milli frag. That guy should get even nicer for you as it becomes a colony.

 

Great looking tank and pictures! Is that monti cap growing over your overflow or are you having to cut it to keep it out of those grooves?

 

I had what could have been PM on one of my clams, but, according to a clam expert somewhere else, it has been determined to not be PM. I had to take a top down shot of the clam for easier ID, so i borrowed the one we have at work and the GF decided to take a hole bunch of top down photos while we had the top down viewer.

That hammer has grown a lot. I haven't put my candy apple reds anywhere yet because I want them to grow on to the thin disk the grag is glued to. I will then cut a small part of the disk off and glue that to a new disk. That way i will have a frag growing, while the main frag will be colonizing where I want them to be. I cannot wait fo rethe sunset milli to take off. I have been having issues with my Cal being very high and my mag was low a week ago. After raising the Mag properly, all of the sps has taken off.
