2011 Full Tank Shots

[MMAX]

Here's a couple of my 48 X 22 X 22 100gal w/ 55gal sump. Not quite up to par compared to alot of tanks in here, recently started with sps and waiting for it to start growing out.

Tank looks like its off to a good start. I thought the same thing but every day i like my tank more. To get a tank like some of these guys you need one of two things, time and patients or lots and lots and lots of money. The latter is quicker but really really expensive.

Heres my work in progress. Finally got the rock work how I want it although the algae on its unsightly its almost gone now, cuc is working on it as we speak.





As said, still tweeking and working. I dont think it ever stops.

Thanks man,
Oh where do i start with the goby lol. I bought him about a month ago, liked him for about two minutes before i started screaming "wha.. what the **** are you doing?" as he buried my trumpet coral in sand. I also had the same problem with so much sand being stirred up it seemed to hang in the water forever and eventually wind up in my sump. All and all a very neat addition to the tank that people seem to love to watch, but definatly not as suitable for a reef tank imo. I should mention the sand does seem to be noticeably whiter and cleaner and most of the sand that gets thrown on the corals falls off or gets blown off eventually, i havent lost any corals since I bought it. The little guy definitely lives up to name "sand sifter"

Oh i also had a couple issues with rock stability after adding the goby as well, ive never seen so many tunnels under the rocks.
