New tank pics

[danny zubot]

After upgrading my lighting and a few other things to my tank I thought I'd post some pics for all to see.
The first and second pics are from the left side and then the right side of my 54 gallon corner tank. Sorry about the blurry fish, I haven't perfected the art of motion photography yet.

The third shot is of the bulk of my corals, those green candies always mess with the color rendering.

And finally a full tank shot of the reef under 380 watts of MH and PC lighting. What do you think?

Very nice looking tank danny..!!
Thanks for sharing some pics. :biggrin:

[Corey]

great pics. whats the thing on the lower left of the first pic coming out of the sand?

[danny zubot]

That is a "Shaving Brush" culerpa. You can see why they call it that. Very cool form of algea, it actually changes its shade of green depending on the nutrient content in my water, kind of an NO3 indicator.

very cool, I want some

[Chad]

That is pretty neat.. I was wondering what that was as well.

Nice rock work, Danny - that has got to be quite a challenge with that shape of tank.

How's the fish? :biggrin:

[danny zubot]

He is quite the pig actually. When I use the turkey baister to feed the fish he'll swim right up to it and pick the food right out of it with his long nose.

The rock work really just comforms to the natural shape of the tank.

Thanks guys! :smile:

Nice - Good job hiding the base rock... :lol: :cool:

[danny zubot]

Thanks everyone! I got the shaving brush from Big Al's about a month ago for $6.00 I think. It grows pretty fast and quite oftern my hermits will be found climbing around in it looking for a snack. :mrgreen:

The base rock worked out really well Deb. It gives the tank a really cool dimension and behind it there is a bit of a gettaway for any fish who needs a break.

Possitive feedback is a good thing! :smile:

Wow nice tank i would realy like to come see it some time. Does that CBB get enough food even in a 55 gal? I guess you said it eats the corals food. Looks realy good. How many clowns u got in there 3? Last question what type of anemone is that and is it bleached?

[digitalsteve]

what are you using for a sand bed?

[danny zubot]

Thanks for your replies guys! The CBB eats a lot of food, I feed with a turkey baster and he'll pick the Mysis right out of the end of it as soon as it is dipped into the water. I only have two clowns in my tank but the reflection can be misleading. The anemonies are BTA's and yes they are bleached. I only have the big one left, the two clones were sold and given to a friend of mine. My friends has begun to develop zoanthalae again, I can't figure out how to get mine to the same.

The sand bed is a mixuture of about 20 lbs of crushed coral and about 30 lbs of fine aragonite. If I could I would get rid of the crushed coral, I like the look of the aragonite more. The tank has already changed so much since these pics so I'll have to post up to date ones soon.
