The not so budget, 25g add-on

nice upgrade. I noticed on your bigger tank that you have a T5 fixture growing sps. What bulbs do you use?

Im running mostly Aquascience bulbs (a combo of the 15s and 22s) with a KZ New Gen thrown in for good measure.

Heres some pics of the acan frags I put in and the obligatory softie I promised the g/f

[lastlight]

Ohohhh...I had that softie. Capnella or something...I'm sure you know. Damn thing grows like a weed and then jettisons little baby corals. I hope a piece doesn't make it into the sump. I'm sure even if the pump chewed it to shreds and put it into the 110...it'd make it!

Its only there temporarily....until I can get a toadstool or something less invasive...I finally wiped the 110 of the xenia that was in there....hope I didnt just jinx myself

Not too much going on with the pony tank except for a huge new tank algae bloom....this kinda surprised me as the bulk of the rock had been in 110 gallon's sump for months and I didnt expect it....I guess a new tank is a new tank is a new tank it is...there are still some ponies at the shop but I am resisting taking them home until the skimmer for the system finally arrives by three legged donkey....that and the other reason Im resisting taking them home is the resident seahorse expert believs all of the remaining ponies are female

I did manage to make the door for the stand....now all I have to do is laminate the exposed edge and pick some nifty handles...

Oh and I added a couple filter feeders

[fishytime]

added a few few more newbies to the ponyless pony tank and I also added a pair of sexy shrimp (missed them from the pico days)...

Still acclimating.....



And after they are a little happier...I had the red blastos in the Big Tank before, but I let someone talk me out of them....




And a red, and red/white coco worms(pardon the dirty glass)....and another sea fan

Don't you be giving Tony credit now Doug!

I'm glad you're going to skip the ponies...maybe it can be some other type of species specific tank though?

You sure have alot of those little nuclear green tipped algae things eh? I had just a single one in my first tank but it sure was bright.

Whats this?
You mean you did actually get some livestock in one of your previous tanks?!?!

Hmmm, perhaps a trigger tank? Just pop a few small fish in and you will feel the need to "upgrade" in no time. If you need some GSP to go with that Kenya tree just let me know- I have enough to cover that tank top to bottom in wonderful, lush, green carpeting...
