Marie's 175g mixed reef (new pics added jan 27)

[Lance]

The only casualty of the inteceptor treatment was a small portion of a pink Millie rtn'd the same night as the treatment. The polyps still aren't fully extended on it yet but at least it's stopped disappearing, a green millie is no longer extending it's polyps fully either.

All other acros look exactly the same as before


Good News! The only good bug is a dead bug!

OK, I've just read the Tank Journal from beginning to end and all i have to say is that I must now convince my wife to move to Powell River...

WOWZERS!!!

My little BC29 is coming up to a year old in March, and needless to say I've tinkered WAY TOO MUCH with it. I'm using ZEO now, but I think I might stop dosing entirely and see where that takes me. I've been battling GHA for the last 3 months and just recently bought a Seahare to control things. I can only dream that my tank would look HALF as nice as your's does.

Life might be a lot SIMPLER!

Congrats to your tank's 5th birthday!

The morning after.....well 5 mornings after, today is the first day I haven't been too busy to sort out the mess

What happened???? :shocked!:

Looked like a hurricane went through your tank and took 80% of your sps to the Lower Mainland or something. :shocked!: :silly:

[marie]

I change the bulbs to 2 radiums and a phoenix 14k out of deference to the lps that was just added.....can you tell which bulb is supposed to be the 14K?? :lol:

Hmmm, it was pretty darn windy for awhile there.....:razz:

BTW, my friend Dean will be passing through here & he'll bring you up a load of LPS, an orange ricordea rock, some colourful zoas, and some fw fish/plants for your daughter's tank.:wink:

[christyf5]

Wow Marie, thats a lot of empty space in there :eek: Tank still looks pretty darned great though. That must have been a lot of work!

[marie]

There is so much empty space, Doofus almost looks like he fits in the tank now :lol:

[lastlight]

Tank looks awesome with space too! I'm sure the swimming room will be enjoyed. I like that middle tower.

[Mrfish55]

Wow! Speechless, but I do like the less is more look, will be interesting to see the progress over the next few weeks.

[Delphinus]

Digging the new scape! I agree with Brett that middle tower is awesome.

[marie]

That middle tower is all that's left of the old scape, I worked very carefully to remove all the rock around it.....luckily all the corals had cemented it together so it didn't collapse when we were catching fish

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

You guys should see the middle tower from the side because it actually forms a swim through cavern for the fish to go through. We took that section of the aquascaping apart like it was a giant Jenga set. And of course the fish tried hiding behind and in that middle structure.
