That sandbed looks kinda deep though , no problems with it?
It's not as deep as it looks. It started out only about 1-2" but the damsel has recently decided to build mountains at the front of the tank :lol:.
This tank has been set up for 4 yrs and there has been no problems so far

Hey Marie, I while ago I asked you about the Figi leather, good to see its doing well. Does your grow fast? My frag has good polyp extension but isn't much bigger than the day I bought it.

[marie]

I wouldn't say it is a fast grower, but it has grown quite a bit in the last 4 months :biggrin:

[Willow]

hey marie, your tanks rock! :smilecol:

Wow, someone who picks a theme for her tank & sticks with it :biggrin: Nice Softies tank Marie. I used to live/work up in PR (Powell River to non-res.) at the fish farm on Lois Lake, so I know how hard it must have been to get some nice specimens. I go up once or twice a year so pm me if you need me to bring you up something. :biggrin:

The FIJI looks incredible ! Can you give some details about its care/environment ? I have one but it doesn't look like that at all... :frown:

[Bob I]

That is a great looking tank :cool: . It certainly proves to me once again that SPS does not = reef tank. :biggrin:

[Doug]

:mrgreen: Very nice Marie.

[AJ_77]

Very nice and lush! :cool:

Yes, please help Deb with some advice on her yellow Fiji leather too, so I can get a frag some day, when its big and healthy and overgrowing her system... :mrgreen:

Before i could reply, i had to haul the test kits out to test the water. I haven't tested any parameters in this tank for at least 6 mths :redface:
s.g. 1.026
amm. and nitrites 0
nitrates less then 5
phos. undetectable
alk. 6.5 dkh(oops)
calcium 380
48"x12"x18" tank, It's about 4" below the surface under 440w vho light, 2maxijet 900s and 1 maxi 1200, a flame angel that can't resist picking at the polyps, kalk dripped every other day, feed flake, mysis and freeze dried cyclopeeze. I have seen it catch cyclopeeze on a regular basis but i don't know if it actually eats it or not :biggrin: Am i forgetting anything?

I forgot to mention the bak pak skimmer and the 5g water change every 2 weeks :biggrin:

I also forgot to mention biolife phytoplankton and since xmas, biolife coralplankton

In the picture of the yellow fiji leather are those green star polyps growing on the glass or are they a different colour. By the way very nice tank
