Brent's Super Awesome 12g Reef Tank

I believe they did call them Mexicans. And yes they bulldoze everything that isn't epoxy'd down. You can see them in the first picture. They're in the upper right hand corner hanging on the powerhead. They stay up there during the day to escape the mantis shrimp. The other ones weren't so smart.

Nice Tank! Looking good so far.

Here is a picture of Thor. I figured that was an appropriate name since Thor was the viking warhammer god that killed anything and everyone that made him mad.

Reminds me of one of my ex'es.

I'll have updated pictures of the tank soon. I've filled it up with lots of different zoas and palys, some green toadstool leather frags, the xenia has grown great, and there's lots of sea fans in different locations. Things are going really good so far.

Sounds Nice!

Also, I got a great deal from a friend on a new fixture and ballast for PC lights. I now have 130 watts of PC lights over the 12 gallon. One 65W 10k and one 65W 460nm. It's much brighter and the zoas and toadstools are definitely loving it a lot more.

Here's a picture of my current setup (and one from 2.5 months ago). I wish I had a good camera. I'll have my first couple fish shortly: a tank bred ocellaris clown and a six line wrasse. Hopefully the wrasse will pick off the red flatworms to have begun showing up. It's now going to be a waiting game to let the corals grow and things mature further.
