[Leonardo's Reef]

Thank you guys! I would not been able to create this tank without this forum!
Also it is nice to recieve some positive comments. Over here (Holland) it is hard for people to say more then; "nice, but add sand"

This is a growth picture, keep in mind that the first picture was taken at the day I placed it. The growth really started more then a week later. In the future I will make more of this growth-shots.



Thanks again!

Leonardo the tank is looking awesome!!!! I agree with Gwaco, keep your hands off the tank and let it do it's thing for awhile. Yeah TOTM seems like a possibility for me too.

[Leonardo's Reef]

Are you guys serious?!? That would be the best thing!

I will keep my hands out of the tank. Haven't you read my user-title

Feed, add Ca/KH and waterchanges are the only things I will do. No more big changes. It's time for stability and growth now

That's the spirit!!! And yes your tank looks that good

[Viv]

Your tank has looked great from the day you started! Your fish choice has also complmented what you have in the tank. Your, TOTM, is something we've, well I, (and I know there are others out there) have truly enjoyed for months!

Looks good Leonardo cubes rock!

It has been busy here the last week. I read all the threads but did not placed any post. I did that because think I do have the theoretical knowledge to run a tank, but I don't have much experience with diffent BB-tanks, simply beacause almost no one has one here.
So what I post only apply to the experiences I have in my tank. And it's dangerous to give advice when you only know one tank.

I'm still increasing my feeding schedule. I'm also still feeding Pappone (fine blender mush) and slowly increasing that too.
I only see positive things. Better growth, deeper colours. And happy fish of course!

Someone made some better pictures of my tank, so I thought it would be nice to share them.

This Saturday I'll buy 16-21 New Apogons. (25-30 total) I've also bought 2 new corals, a blue/green Stag and a new Millepora. These are not in the pictures yet.

Leonardo: How has the growth on your digita been?

Mine no longer grows upwards, but has turned encrusting. It's encrusted base has to be something on the order of 20-30x larger than it's stalk.

[gwaco]

i was startin to get worried about ya ! the tank is looking better than ever !
man, don' t ever worry about posting anything ! nobody is gonna beat you up here (like some other sites ) , in all your post i knew you were refering to what is working for your tank , some may call you to the carpet alittle bit , but take this as constructive and not as demoting criticizem . everyone here really likes your tank and how its progressed !

[Leonardo's Reef]

Casey: I will do that!

King-Kong: My stag is encrusting, and growing upwards. Some of my stags encrust very good, some just very little. It has something to do with difference in species I think. Flow and lighting doensn't seem to make difference in my tank (in relation to encrusting). I'll make some pictures for you as an example.
I haven't experienced the sitation you describe. Can you make a picture?

Gwaco: Thanks, I was hoping that that was the case. I know it's construcive critisism, maybe I was just too sensitive (where is the firefish ) Thank you for the compliment.

King Kong, I made some pictures from encrustation. Similar looking stags, placed next to each other, grow different when it comes to encrusting. The first encrusts very fast, the other does it very, very slow. They came form another source, so I believe they are slight different.





Also a new growth pic, plus I made an overlapping picture for better comparison.
