[Quang]

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, lissa !!!

Both your tanks look incredible, nice work! :shocked1:
By any chance do you have any pics of your lights mounted up in the canopy of your 29g?

Hi Chris,

I actually only have the one tank - I moved everything that was in the 29g to the 40br. The 29g used PC lighting.

Here is the top:

Here is the inside:

I am sure there are plenty of other people who could show you something far fancier.

Thanks everyone else! I'm trying really hard not to buy anything else for the tank. I want to let what I have grow in a little.

You know how you can tell it will look nice? you have a plan for it

looks great......keep up the good work...my dendro now has 3 heads and a baby....LMK when you want a frag....you will need to help me with the actual fragging.

hey Lissa what kind of salt are you using?

 

[ellebelle]

Reef Crystals. I used to use Instant Ocean, but the petland near my apartment stopped carrying it in the big bags. Why?

 

[jhale]

I have a theory it's the salt, I'm switching salts to see what happens.

 

[ellebelle]

Okay, let me know. What are you switching to?

 

[jhale]

I'm giving coralife a try, I've heard great things about it, and seen the results. it had the best of what I want and the least of what I do not want in the last salt study.

Thanks for the picture of your canopy/lights trying to get an idea of a canopy setup for my nano together...

Keep up the great work with that beautiful tank! :biglaugh:

I debated within myself as to whether or not I was going to post this, but for the sake of complete-ness in my tank thread, I will.

My newest addition:

G. lamarck

And before the angel police get all up in my face, I do realize that this fish will outgrow my tank in a few months. I will be dealing with that when it comes around. In the meantime, she is very happy and appropriated the cave that my royal gramma used to sleep in.

Also, this solves the question as to whether my female pylei would attack any fish, or just wrasses. She didn't even flash at the angel. Of course, she's bigger than the pylei is, so maybe she's just hedging her bets.

Beautiful! Looks healthy and happy. Congrats on the new member of the family.

 

[JHOV2324]

Lissa that fish is hot....who cares about the fish police..its looks cool...when it gets big keep it...it will be your show fish

 

[ellebelle]

Hov, clearly I will keep it when it get big(ger). But I will also keep it in a bigger tank. The MR enablers have won and I shall plan my next upgrade.

 

[nikkibabee]

congrats...the fish is beautiful! Now...you are under arrest!!!

 

[ellebelle]

March Full Tank Shot

 

[ellebelle]

also

Thanks NaCL-h2o

A seriously strange aussie turbinaria from GA

 

[Domboski]

You have high PO4 my a$$. Your tank is beautiful.

 

[ellebelle]

Thanks. :happysad:

My Salifert PO4 kit is still tinting slightly blue, which I know means my phosphates are probably over .1 The cyano and bryopsis growth have slowed down a lot (particularly the cyano) but it still hasn't been eradicated. I know that both of those will grow in absence of phosphates, but still. My leathers are not opening up really big and some of my SPS is not coloring as fast as I would like. I know my water quality could be better.

 

[meschaefer]

Very nice. I have a Lamarcks as well. Yours looks like she is doing very well. I have had mine since November. Is she a new addition, or just a new photo as her coloration looks strong. The blue highlights get deeper as they settle in, and are almost an "electric blue" on the edge of the fins.
