Pretty sharp~!

How are your handling the density (aggression-wise)?

[fragbox.ca]

lol i'm not handling it very well. basically weekly pruning of everything that touches then I just sell the frags

[reefwars]

looks incredible i can see im going to have my hands full in the nano contest:P

[Enigma]

Very nice!

[mandyplo]

Holy crap keeping it simple is right! I was very surprised at the no dosing. Not even calcium? Very impressive !!

Do you have SPS LPS zoas AND softies(leathers etc) in there?!?

[fragbox.ca]

Very nice!

Thanks!

[fragbox.ca]

Holy crap keeping it simple is right! I was very surprised at the no dosing. Not even calcium? Very impressive !!

Do you have SPS LPS zoas AND softies(leathers etc) in there?!?

softies: zoos, palys, leathers, toadstools, kenya tree, gsp, xenia, mushrooms, ricordias, yumas

Gorgeous!

[Borderjumper]

Sweet!

[SteveConn]

Simple and crazy-stunning! Work of art with the combinations of corals and colors!

[Skimmerking]

Wicked looking tank, however what about the SPS touching the LPS are you not worried about that?

[fragbox.ca]

thanks everyone for the compliments

I try not to let the sps and lps touch :D its very difficult thought!
I have become a master at pruning the corals

[beefORchicken]

wow

[FishyFishy!]

I absolutely love the simplicity.

[mandyplo]

I can't get over your tank! It's so simple yet AMAZING!!! Very inspiring. The colors you have in there are just stunning.

[fragbox.ca]

thank everyone!

I got some very nice new corals I'll upload some photos soon

this is 'chili'
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i404/marc3lo19/TOTM/fish1.jpg

This was 'purplina'. RIP she jumped last week. most evil fu$@#%g fish in the world. It was a terrorist but we had a love hate relationship and I miss her.
anyone else become emotionally attached to a fish or should I seek professional help?
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i404/marc3lo19/TOTM/fish2.jpg

[fragbox.ca]

thanks everyone! more updates to come soon

[mrhasan]

I HATE dottys! No emotional attachment or anything! Maybe they would be better off on a grill pan :P

Tried giving it the chance for staying in my tank but it didn't use it properly!!! :twised:

But love the nano :D

[mrhasan]

Chili is like "hello everyone" :P

Is the last pic of your fav Yuma the lemon drop? Looks like it or similar?

[Tn23]

March, what camera do you use and how do you take such detailed photos from above?

cannon slr
my trick is tripod and lots of patience. It takes a long time to get the right one and Im able to use my par 38 like spot lights on the coral

[liz]

I live close to March and this is a made up rock that he did and I was lucky enough to purchase off of him. He did an outstanding job on it. I had a few corals come off on the drive home but all in all it is an awesome piece of coral art!
I then commissioned him to do a multi-coloured ric. rock for me - again outstanding.

Both will be going in my 34gl. nano (currently at a relatives until my tank is cycled).
Enjoy!

[91Atrac]

Haha Liz cuz of you I asked for a ricordia rock ;) I have some already picked out and told him to add if he wanted. Lets see what he does for me :)

Do you live close to him?

[91Atrac]

Not even close lol. Winnipeg MB, he's in Ontario... Yea not close

[liz]

I live about 45 min. from him! :biggrin:

[91Atrac]

BUGGER haha! I'd love to check out his setups! I wanna run his leds

[liz]

His Par 38's are sweet! I think they are on sale right now too??

[91Atrac]

yea he has a sale on them right now it does seem. I wonder how often he checks out this thread and if he has any updates :)

[liz]

Looks like he is on the site right now.

Beautiful March! How high off the water do you have the par38s?

[lastlight]

wish my fruitloops looked half that good right now. awesome stuff!

[fragbox.ca]

Beautiful March! How high off the water do you have the par38s?

18'' on my display and 26'' on the frag tanks
They are pretty powerful and I have bleached quite a bit of sps with them in the past

[fragbox.ca]

wish my fruitloops looked half that good right now. awesome stuff!

Thanks Lastlight!

[chi]

May we request a May fts :) !!!!

[asylumdown]

Can I ask where you got your Par38s/what colour blend they are? I looked through the thread but if I missed it my apologies. I'm thinking I might want to add a PAR38 bulb to supplement my Kessil when I move from a 4 gallon to an 8 gallon tank.

This tank is beyond stunning BTW. Somehow I managed to have never been to your site before... You may be parting me with a good chunk of my money shortly, and you can credit this thread with the reason!

[asylumdown]

ummmmm nm! The PAR38s are on your website!

What's money but an aquarium toy waiting to happen...

[fragbox.ca]

We use Halo Par 38 by Lightbox
you can find info on them here

[fishoholic]

Great fts. Love the lights, I see you have 3 over your tank, do you think one par 38 would be enough for a 2.5g ibox tank?
