Skimmer is now up and running. Went with the Tunze 9002. Love it. It's already pulling decent skimmate.




Also, my kenya tree somehow managed to drop a couple babies that landed in the sump, and with the fuge lighting for my macro, they are actually growing well lol.



And a FTS



Also have a massive white sponge growing on the underside of one of the rocks. Best pic I could get with my phone.

Wow, that's the most complicated and hi tech mini nano I've ever seen. My 5 gal nano just has a power head, heater and live rock. I just change a couple gallons every 4 or 5 days. Nice job man. I gotta bow my head in shame now.

Don't think I've ever seen that before. Guess I should get me some candy canes.

Yeah I like candy canes. I really like how they are perfect for letting you know what something isn't right in your tank. I find they don't grow or expand when something is off, or the tank is in need of a water change.

Default Update 05/28/2012

Couple small things to update.

My calcium was low, and the 150W halide was too close to the tank, so it started bleaching the coraline white. So I raised the light 6" and everyone seems extremely happy.

Also got a couple zoa frags from Kevin at Red Coral




New orange zoas




You can't even see these really... My tank was not liking my blackberry camera today lol. These are the new green zoas



My random one green Paly is popping out babies



Good old candy canes chillin away



I will get some SLR pics tomorrow.

Hahaha yeah it was a little overkill. My plan was to try beginner SPS in it like birdsnest and monti's n' such. But i've been to pre-occupied with the bigger tank project. Oh and building a deck. And Landscaping my house. And renovating my bathroom.....Think I might have too much on the go...

Here are some better iPad pics





You can actually see the other Zoas! lol



Some LED actinic shots

Very well done.
Just out of curiosity what does the temp range a closed tank like that from the MHI?
On my 34 gallon I had to add a chiller in order to maintain a stable temp.

I've never actually had a problem with fluctuating heat from the halide at all. I do have A/C in my house though, so that might contribute to the stability. But it stays constant 80 degrees all the time.
