Updated tank shots, and some macro shots and stuff

[OCDP]

Well last night I finally got everything in my tank running back to normal.. picked up my replacement part for the Fluval 404 (ceramic shaft) .. now that's running perfectly again, running one bag of carbon, nothing else. I have my Remora skimmer back up and running now as well, and am running an Aquaclear 150 with a small sponge, and mostly for extra flow.

I was running a Maxijet1200 from my Remora for around a month and a half or so, so the tank had no skimmer or anything for a while.

A little about my tank for those who don't already know:

- 20g reef, setup August 24, '04
- Running 2x65w PC's with 2 moonlights (soon to be a 175w MH pendant, ahem.. beermaster buddy??? haha)
- AquaC Remora skimmer
- Fluval 404 w/ carbon when needed. nothing else
- Aquaclear 150 for flow

I keep my salinity (try to keep it here anyways) at 1.025. My ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates read 0 (Hagen test kits)
My CA is at 440ppm and my ALK is at 2.6 - 2.7 meq/L
My temp varies which bothers me, hopefully will work that out soon, which goes from about 79-83
I do a waterchange about every 2 - 3 weeks.

Livestock:
- As for now only 1 Yellow Watchman Goby, adding more fish soon!

Corals & Inverts:
- Rose Tip Bubble Anemone
- 4 Bubble Tip Anemones
- 5 Various zoanthid rocks
- 1 Green and pinkish frogspawn & 1 Brown and tan frogspawn
- Green and purple hammer
- Metallic Green Button Polyps
- Bali Green Slimer ( I know I shouldn't have this under my lighting, but if all goes as planned I will have the 175w MH pendant soon )
- Hawaiian Featherduster

And now for my future plans with the tank... as far as the new lighting, I plan to setup a HOB AC500 refugium, hopefully by next weekend. Plan on adding more fish, and lots more coral.. but this little system has come a long way, and has changed a lot.. it's getting there!

And there's my ramble..

Here's the skimmate collected from just being turned on this morning! :eek: At least I know the skimmers working!

Annnd that's it lol... my camera really sucks for picking up sharpness and coloration.. I am using a Pentax Optio S40 .. can't say I like it to much, but then again I am no photographer.
