26 Bowfront update...


Super big thanks to Hansmatt. Everything is looking great. Took me an hour to move everything so the Galaxia can't sting 'em. It was very helpful to see how you placed your corals in conjunction with how they get along.

Tank stock

1 Frogspawn
1 Hammer
1 Gsp colony
1 Zoa colony
1 Galaxia
2 Typs Xenia
1 Orange Monti Cap
1 Frag Yellow Polyps
1 Baby colony Butterscotch Zoa's
6 Typs of Mushrooms

1 Purple Firefish
1 Firefish
2 Clowns
1 Yellow Watchman Gobie

8 Blue leg Hermit Crabs
1 Turbo Snail-(Hate him-PITA)

Thanks so much to everyone for all thier help...

Just waiting for everything to "wake up" so I can post an updated pic.

I am also looking for a frag of Bam Bam Zoa's. Need some color balance. I am also looking for a Neon Green Leather frag and anything with orange, yellow or red.

do you have any photos of the tank now?? Sounds like everything is going well for you. Sorry i don't have much in either of those colors, because I'm in the same boat, as far as looking for color balance etc....

I could break off a chunk of the bam-bams I got from Nick if you're willing to come to Eau Claire. Probably would be around 10 heads. Let me know and they're yours.

I'll be able to break off some bam bams in june I'd think, once school is done. Lemme know, and you can try out the pump on your skimmer.
Glad the frags are working so far...now to GROW!

What a major difference after a couple of weeks, some rock rearrangement and a few small additions. Even my crushed coral is turning pink. And the rocks are starting to color up as well.

Right now I'm running the T5 that was on my 30gal long. I have a bit of overhang, but it seems to work. Now the guy I bought the bowfront from had a halide light on it. Just depends on how much light is needed by what in your tank. I will eventually move most of the corals to a 90rr, so this is temporary.

That nice pink wasn't so nice after all. Turned out to be algae. Took just the top layer off and washed. I had a bad green algae problem prior to moving it. I dose calcium, iodine and strontium. Feed only frozen foods and Phytoplan. Seems to be much better. Now to get the pink under control...
