is your work paying for this or did they just kinda give you the tank and you have to pay for anything on top of what they had?

well not too much happening with the tank, added 2 45;s to the drain on the sump to stop the splashing, and then theres the diatom bloom. It would be long now.

so it has been awhile with this update, the restraunt has been packed these past weeks and a side project of recording a catch phrase for Tona Ohama's up coming album has kept me very busy. Teatro's tank is running well, and some soft corals have been added, much thanks to albertareefer (cory) 24storm(keith) and seamazter (garry) for their donations. I still want to add lots more kenya tree, and some leathers, as well, a phos RX will be at the top of my list for the next while.

The fish stock includes, 4 clowns, 2 yellow tangs, lawn mower goby, and a sand sifter seastar.

its just one pic as the glass wasnt cleaned before taking the pic.

thanks for looking.

[lobsterboy]

well its been awhile eh. hehehe.

I was at Teatro today to put in some new corals, waving hand and a seafan.

and I finally took some pictures.

The tank is running good, there is abit of diatom bloom still kickin, I am guessing its the feedings, as I just found out the other day that someone had been feeding the tank other than myself.

There was a great turn out from my previous LF softies post,

thanks to all who contriubted.

Keith, Scott, Jeff, Shawn, Cory, Tai, Garry and Sean sorry if i left anyone else out.

lots of work still, lighting of the tank isnt the best, and an upgrade of the lighting would be on top of my list of things to get, besides a list of 20 other things, haha.,

so here are the pics, the tank was started in feb. feel free to comment.

so today i got a pm from Cory, saying that there were some HUGE toad stools at red coral, and he thought they would be great for the Teatro tank, so i had the evening off, and headed up right away.

I wasnt sure what to expect whe he said they were "HUGE" well they were just that, I talked to Kevin and he gave me a great price on these as usual. Every time i hit the shop I am always leaving there super happy.

There was even a rock with these killer purple green skirt zoas on them, and they made it to the tank as well. I think there were a few smaller rocks at the shop with these on them as well.

BIG THANKS TO KEVIN, well see ya on sunday.

I also made it over to Docomo;s to pick up yet again a few toad stools, I gotta say, very cool set up with the DIY LEDS. I thought they were MH, until the canopy came off. Very very cool.

anyways, heres the pics,

the beast,





Kevin takin em out.



as soon as they hit the tank, it was love at first sight for this little clown



ZOAS









They are all closed up now after the move, so I cant wait to see these guys open.
