I will be moving the corals over soon. I have to decide/wait on a light for this tank so for the time being i will have the AI fixture or as soon as i figure out how to hang it over the tank the sunpower fixture that i had previously. I moved all of the zoas over because i didn't think they would be as pick as the sps.

Tank is an euro-braced inverted 90. so 48" X 24" X 18". I have a 30 gallon breeder tank underneath that i added baffles to for the sump. I am probably going tripod shopping tomorrow so i will try and get some photos of everything.

I really like the aquascaping. Nice and open

thank you. I was thinking of going for something like Lobsterboys revised tank. Turns out 50lbs of rock was too much for that. I am pleased with how it turned out. it will look a little bit different after i get the seed rock off of the Marcorocks (thanks CaCo3REEF) and to the sump with the rest of the live rock i already have in there.

Its been a while. There have been some ups, and there have been some downs. but here it is:


Rainbow acan. still acclimating to the light.

Things have been pretty much on auto pilot lately. I have added a few fish

Current stocking list

Peppermint candy cane hogfish
Two bar rabbitfish
multicolor angelfish
two misbar/semi-picasso clowns
Dragon faced pipefish
two bangaii and one panama cardinal
Flavivertex pseudochromis

might add a kole/tomini tang, but i think that might be over stalking it a bit. Any thoughts?




Little bugger moves too quick, and my camera skills are subpar.



Forgot to add. Ive started the basic 4 of zeovit. I wanted to see if i could get anywhere close to what John (lobster boy) created with his reef. Its going to be a long journey

What I don't get is why in other cities it's not impossible. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Anyhow seriously though, nice score. Very jealous!

I'm in 12 months of zeo myself and trust me I am nowhere near not even 1/10th of lobsterboys success yet. Persevering for bit more but man either it just aligns perfectly and poof, nice tank .. or .. not..
