Thanks ricky...that 60 is still up and running quite nicely back home in LA...It basically receives no maintenance other than a little B-ionic and topoff once in awhile, but everything seems to be growing fine (no fish deaths in over a year). Ah the memories.... (photo taken 8/2002!)

Dude. What lights do you have on that? I'm loving that spectrum.

 

[NKT]

The 60 has 2x175w, 10k halides, supplemented by 2x96 actinic PC bulbs

 

[RobertoVespucci]

Sweet. Which brand of halide bulb?

Some more pics...I guess this would make it roughly the 2.5 month point... Here we go!

:lol: :lol:

Are you kidding?

 

[NKT]

Not kidding. But it was still probably a bit more than your average brain i suppose... i'm not complaining though.

 

[Juck]

Isn't that an acan?

 

[Anonymous]

yep. Put me in line for a frag of that orange side!

Nice work on the tank.

And chip's right. You SUCK. (happy gilmore quote)

Love the colors you have in there!

Let me get this straight...a store you went to had a rainbow acanthastrea echinata and it was available for sale? For a reasonable price???

YOU SUCK MONKEY FARTS, NICO!!!

Peace,

Chip

Where did you get that mystery wrasse, and do you have any problems with it in the reef tank? Are you able to keep any shrimp with it?

 

[NKT]

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Rook, got the mystery wrasse from an LFS in Jersey called Absolutely Fish...excellent store. They have some of the most amazing fish selection I've ever seen, outside of a wholesaler. As far as shrimp, it's a no-no with the mystery wrasse... I even tried a large blood shrimp 2/3 the size of the mystery wrasse (!) and it was still made into a meal.

 

[NKT]

An update for a pretty cool new addition to the tank....

and a fun pic of my mystery wrasse:

Niiice, C. joculator. So it's not picking on your acan?

 

[NKT]
