Mr_X's Tank

[mr_X]

here is the tank as of today (11-5-06)
recently added:
purple long tentacle anemone
maroon clown
toadstool frag
green mushroom frag
sailfin tang
some strange mystery coral frag????
i also added a green star polyp, and i noticed this morning that something tore a big chunk out of it.

BTW i also added a 3 inch niger trigger tot he 125 FOWLR, but he's not much fun because all he does is hide. :?

 

[mr_X]

yeah..and i forgot to mention....i haven't bought another MH yet for the left side....i know, it looks lop-sided.
i'll get to it. the creatures on that side are ok with CF for now.

Yeah, we do! :lol:

 

[mr_X]

if you like pics, well then, you are going to be amazed by this:
see the above weird, unknown leather coral?
it grew considerably in 1 day! ugh..at this rate, in a month, i'll have to get a bigger tank! is this normal?

 

[bleedingthought]

It doesn't look like it grew. It seems to be expanding. You might see some polyps/tentacles soon. :?

 

[mr_X]

just a quick shot of the 125 FOWLR developing...added about 50 pounds of live rock:

this is what happens when you try to get by with tap water instead of R.O.

i had my LTA in a cut off jar top in the sand so he wouldn't wander. it was suggested to me that i should leave it to him where he feels the most comfortable. well, i released him from his jar-top prison and look where he ended up:

and finally, here is a pic of the hospital tank, and it seems that every bed is full.......of ich speckled patients.

Looks good. Nice aquascaping. You dont need anymore rock as you get better flow around it and more fish room. You may have gone cheap as you put it, but you sure have a nice anenome. 8)

The LTA doesn't look nearly as rich purple as the other pics. What's up with that? :?

 

[mr_X]

different camera, no blue actinics on, other side of the tank(i have halide on one side, and 6500k compact flourescents on the other)

 

[mr_X]

upgraded the 125 FOWLR with a nice skimmer which i paid way too much for
it is an ASM G2 roughly $280.00 ugh!!!!
and also added a 6 line or golden striped grouper, which i can't seem to get a picture of as of yet.

 

[mr_X]

here's another shot of the anemone, and the ferocious coral beauty, who is anything but camera shy....(i think it might be too much flash?)

 

[shavo]

eh yeah i think your skimmer is a little undersized for your particular configuration, yadda yadda yadda

 

[mr_X]

lol...ok..i'll upgrade to a million gallon one right away. will that due?

 

[mr_X]

just to clarify things, a while ago i bought a wet/dry and a skimmer used, the skimmer i use now for my 75, i thought was a red sea berlin turbo. i was mistaken. it is actually an aqua medic turbofloater sl.
whatever the name is, it seems to work quite well.

it is time, get some rock and let's start drillin.
