Thanks Drew, good to hear from you again. How are things going for you and your tank? __________________
(always good to hear from u as well)the tank is stable...lol...red slime is discouraging me at the moment but other than that ready to get rid of it and i have decided my tank is stable enough after about a year and a half to get some sps!i may also change my tru bulbs on my fixture to some ati or geissman bulbs...other than that high hopes for the future!!-drew
I'm wicked jellos, Michael. I really like some of those pieces, too. Those last green zoas are great, I'd be stealing them if I lived closer. Dressed as the hamburgler.
Looking good Wolf! I really like how the rocks are closer to the front almost like the frag rack was hidden. Seems like the rock is always the back drop and the goodies are shoved up against the glass. Now it's like the hidden treasure waiting to be found. Cool.
Thanks Ray, I was hoping it would work well. Now is the time for patience to see what happens with it as I get closer to changing the lighting.
I was hoping to go to the LFS today, but we had a tornado touch down 1/4 of a mile away from my home last night. Unfortunately it was between us and the power substation and claimed numerous large trees and a few power poles as well. We just got the power restored after 12 hours and I am really not up for a 4 hour round trip right now.
These are my "test" zoanthids so to speak. I want to make sure they are going to do well before I move some of the others over to this system.
Drew, I saw your thread about the Cyano issues and wish you the best in getting that sorted out very quickly. It can definitely be frustrating, but it can be beaten as well.
I have an update on this system. The 2 bar rabbitfish was captured and traded in at an LFS as it was caught red handed, or would that be yellow mouthed, eating zoanthids. Bright green ones were his first choice.
The better news is that I finally got the 250 watt pendant installed over the tank with a Phoenix 14K bulb in it.
Here is the latest FTS with the new light.
I think it lights it up very nicely.
Oh yeah, my wife wanted me to make sure I told you all that she actually hung the pendant over the tank while I was at work. Isn't love grand?

Yes Robert, I had a method to the madness though as it has hang on tank equipment and I wanted to be able to reach everything without any problems. I kind of used it to make a little corner. :lol:
Holy cow, meetings too... mine will go in the fish room and read every now and then just for the piece of mind, still trying to figure out how to get her into it though. Maybe one day.
How bout some updated pictures? :thumbup: Wolf, i love all your tanks i wish i could somehow have a tank like that in my life time haha all of your corals fill in so nicely and have such great colors, congratulations on making this tank into another beautiful tank!

I think what really got her into it was when we had the seahorses. They were like her little babies. It was very hard on her when we lost them, and I was afraid she would not want anything else to do with the hobby but she came around.
One of these days take her to the LFS with you and ask her to pick out a coral. Hopefully it will be one that your tank can support and you can take it home. If not then you can impress her with your knowledge about such things, and your compassion for not wanting to kill one of these animals. Remember, many people think that corals are plants still.

Thanks, but the most recent pictures are not very pleasing at all. I have them posted in the thread I linked to above. I had a 400 watt heater stick on and am sharing that experience so that others can learn about it in this thread: http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6/to-heat-or-not-to-heat-nuking-of-the-54-gallon-133872.html . Not one of my prouder moments, but we have to learn from our mistakes and carry on.
looks awesome as usual, love the frag rack i say fill up the frag rack with some sps frags and let them grow out, it would still be considered a frag rack since it originated with frags lol.
