Nice lighting. Keep us updated with pictures.

[Der_Iron_Chef]

as for livestock:

Coral:
a few different zoas not sure of there names.
green star polyp.
a bunch of differnt colour mushrooms.

CUC:
6 hermit crabs
4 snails
never really had a problem with algea.

Fish:
Royal Dottyback (evil little sh#$) it was free and i didn't really want it but i didn't know what to do with it.

I like the change! How did you do it?

[LeeR]

added a 90degree angle to the loc line to move it behind the rockwork. Is that what you ment by change? Other then that just added coral and glued coral to the rock work

What camera are you using?

[LeeR]

canon powershot A530.

Is it true AJ is added more salt water tanks to the store?

I just moved to langley from vernon a little while ago..

[Richard_Dicosimo]

what is that loc line hooked up to? a closed loop or is it a return? do you have a method of stoping a siphon on it in case of a power outage?

[LeeR]

It is a all in one tank the display and the sump are at the same level so when the pump stops working they just level off. I hope that explains it alright

[Richard_Dicosimo]

oh hahahah that makes more sence sorry i was'nt paying attention to the all in one aspect of your tank. nice setup it looks very clean!

[Carrera75]

Beautiful tank and great pics man.
Cheers

[LeeR]

Thank you very much.

Anyone have any idea of corals i should add?

[LeeR]

There is pretty much no infermation about this fish and what it eats. i have tryed feeding it brine shrimp but it wont eat it. It seems to be eating small black pod type things off the sand bed but it will probably run out soon so what should I try feeding it?

WOW at those pics, looks like no one else is winning TOTM/POTM from now on.

[LeeR]

got my girlfriend a macro lens for her d40x and she went a bit picture nuts.:biggrin:

[LeeR]

Got bored so new pictures. I got a new skimmer because I got sick of the ASM's gurgling and it didnt do much.. anyways replaced it with a tunze nano doc skimmer (nice and silent) aswell replaced the koralia 1 with 2 koralia nanos.

Anyone have a good comb of bulbs for the 24 tek light?

alright pictures.

[tang daddy]

Bulbs look faded on the ends maybe time for a change?

Nice tank by the way I love the clean look about bulbs go with the full spectrum, Blue plus, purple, pink, white, and blue again make everything pop!

[LeeR]

there like that as soon as i put them in there. I have 2 actinics 1 daylight and one super actinic.

[tang daddy]

really, what brand are you using and are they overdriven?

reason I ask is my atinics 4ft take more than a few months to do that hmm maybe it's just me.

[LeeR]

ATI, UV, Giasmen not over driven

[Boomboy]

what happen to all the chromis i dont even see one in that tank with the new pics

[LeeR]

only 3 left, one is super aggressive and picked at the others till they died the rainfords goby died as well.

[Boomboy]

i wonder if its the fact that you put 8 fish in a 30G mhhh maybe that could be it? :idea: nice pictures though but think about what your putting in before you do next time, that was just asking to kill those fish.

[LeeR]

all my perams checked out fine.
they where all in there for about 2 mounths or so i know the chromis were picked off not sure about the others.

[Charlie_Tuna]

Any chance you could give details or post pics regarding your sump/skimmer set-up?

That is an awesome tank.

[LeeR]

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc152/leerozankoski/sumpveiw.jpg LR rubble is now cheato

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc152/leerozankoski/fish%20tank%202008/DSC_0076.jpg

-skimmer is tunze nano
-light for cheato is a coralife mini 6500k and 10000k
-return is a maxi jet 1200

hope that helps a bit

[Boomboy]

well there is more than just parametes how about swimming room, or territory think about what you add next time so you dont kill them, after i read you added 5 i was shocked, even just 5 chromis in a tank that size is pushing it i had to double check about the other fish i thought maybe they died already or something. use your head stop killing the fish.

[LeeR]

i know that and like i said they were fine for about 2 months. but thats cool im not into killing fish thats why i havn't bought anymore.
