Default Update 3

Ok so heres an update.

lately I've been cleaning up stuff and starting to get into the Set and forget category. I hooked up my dosing pumps. Im dosing calcium and alkalinity. I also ran my RODI line through my roof today and straight into my ATO and water change tank. Im starting to absolutely LOVE this water change procedure it takes me all of 5 minutes to do a 30 gallon water change. I just pump water to the drain. Then open my valve on my water changing tank and Voila. Water change is done. no more hauling annoying buckets around. I also got my Frag Tank running with a shelf i built with egg crate. Instead of the Par 38s i decided to go with 2 kessil A150's one us super blue and one is tuna blue. I love the look of these lights together. I installed a UV on my system and I've noticed a massive difference in the health of my fish.

As for live stock I've added a couple more fish and a Tiger Pistol Shrimp who is living with my lazy watchman goby. I also added a BTA that won't stop walking around and a purple and green blasto which is one of my new favorites.

Here are some pictures i took with my uncles(jackabby) olympus E520. I personally don't real like this camera but its better then my EPL1 so, whatever.

My tank is coming along Im looking to add some more SPS now as my tank is full of LPS and softies. Im looking for small colonies or big frags lol. Anything colourful is a consideration.








Frag Tank






Now for the Livestock
My photo taking abilities are nothing compared to some people on here. Like Kien o my god not fair at all. I think kien needs to share some tips or right a book called "how to take photos of fish tanks for dummies" like me. hehe jk kien although you should right a book.



The Blastos.



I got this today I'm not sure what its called.







Dori is continuing to grow







My new flame hawkfish. So cool love how he sits perched in my Bonsai



They moved from the back wall to this rock





My little Ultra A Maxima clam.



My big clam



And My BTA that is no longer sitting in this spot

Your tank and it's inhabitants look awesome love the placement of your corals.great job...
I wouldn't have recommend getting the cauliflower ( Nephtheidae) coral as its one of the hardest NPS to have As it doesn't contain symbiotic algae,...
