Recent FTS :)


Normally post in my build thread, but figured I'd share this with those who aren't following it. Coming up on a year old in a month in a half, here is a shot as of tonight.

For comparison, here's where it started out last May (with way too many daylight T5 bulbs):




Here are a few more side shots from tonight.

is that a regal angel & a bluejaw triger?

Do you have any clams or inverts in your tank? Do these fish mess with any of these? Or any softies/LPS you may have?

Thanks

Thanks all.

110galreef - yes, a bluejaw, regal angel, and a baby imperatur angel The bluejaw is no problem to my corals, but the angels nip occasionally. LPS are hit and miss - can't have acan lords, but SPS are fine (no daytime polyp extension as it is in the wild, but are growing and seem healthy). My more toxic LPS (favia, frogspawn, chalices, etc.) also tolerate the occasional nip without a problem. I feed very heavily (5-6x day) which probably helps. No clams so can't comment on those, but my shrimp and starfish are all left alone.

mscottring - Here is my equipment list:

238g 60x36x26, 100g sump/fuge, 30g frag, 23g skimmer sump, 4 Vortechs, ATB L skimmer, Sfiligoi 12x54w T5 (Bulb Combo: Super actinic, 6 Blue Plus, Fiji Purple, 2 Aquablue special, Aquascience Duo, UV Aquasun), Geo Kalk Reactor, Phosphate and Carbon Reactors, Sequence Snapper return.

Here is the complete stocking list:

Bluejaw Trigger (Xanthicthys auromarginatus)

Mata Tang (Acanthurus mata)

Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurus)

Swallowtail Angel (f) (Genicanthus melanospilos)

Regal Angel (Indo-Pacific) (Pygoplites diacnthus)

Emperor Angel (Pomacanthus imperator)

Christmas Wrasse (Halichoeres ornatissimus)

(3 - 1m, 2f) Bimac Anthias (Pseudanthias bimaculatus)

Bicolor Anthias (Pseudanthias bicolor)

(2) Green Chromis (Chromis atripectoralis)

(3) Green Chromis (Chromis viridis)

(2) True Percula Clowns (Amphiron Percula)

(2) Bluestripe neon goby (Gobiosoma oceanops)

Lawnmower Blenny (Salarias fasciatus)

Pink/Blue Spotted Goby (Cryptocentrus leptocephalus)

Target Mandarin (Synchiropus picturatus)
