Now don't make any direct eye contact with equipment or coral or something is bound to go wrong. At least that's how it seems to go sometimes in this hobby. No kidding... now I am worried that I may have jinxed myself just by posting this update! (finding some wood to knock on) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharklover Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Just picked up an empty 120g and stand today. Getting ready for the project as a whole. Glass to drill, plumbing to do and lots of planning. Nice to see your project as it has come along. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite happy with how it turned out. It was the first stand my friend had done and we designed it together - he mostly does furniture pieces.

KeanuReefs Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Sweet tank. I'm very impressed by the clown tang. They have always been my favorite tang but I have been to scared to pull the trigger. Have you had any aggression issues? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No aggression issues so far but I added it and the sailfin together. The sailfin is the definite “boss of the tank” but leaves the clown alone. The only time the clown really pays any attention to the other fish is when the nori goes into the tank - then he will try to chase other fish away from the prize! Even then it isn’t overly aggressive - never seen him corner or ram another fish. Fingers crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Seeing this thread pop up it reminds me how badly I need to sort out the white balance on my camera and get some decent pictures up. Either that or just invite Nanoreefer over for a photo party 😁. You can actually see the corals in there at this point - although it’s hard to tell from these pics. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Welp, sounds like you've identified that you need to take new pictures stat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Ok... the holidays seem like a good time for some updated tank pics! Starting off with a FTS followed by a panoramic series - sorry, no fancy photo knitting at this point, just off my point and shoot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodus Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Wow! That's allot of SPS Growth over the last year since you put the tank up! Looking Good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t really notice when you see it every day but it’s to the point where I badly need too trim some stuff as it’s shading other pieces.

youcallmenny Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Looking really nice Sean! Remind me, are those Ocean Revives? Glad to see those frags grew up! Also I didn't realize your Sailfin was a Desjardini. We picked up a big one from Jeff for the new tank. She's in QT now. Literally my favorite fish, bar none.

Thanks Greg! Those are actually SB reeflights 32 pros with timers. There channel manually dimable but no ramping. I couldn’t find info on the ORs at the time - he was in hiatus or something. I know some of the large pieces in there are from your frags (orange cap?) so thanks again for getting me started! Yeah - the one fish Darcy really wanted was the Desjardin - well, that and the marine betta and the green coris and the jawfish 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willapa Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Very nice Sean! You have had great growth in one year.

The montis and birds nests went crazy but some of the acros are starting to come around as well. Seems like they weren’t really happy until at least 8months in or so - they would survive but not thrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always great to see corals grow out into colonies Thanks Roy! Still have a long ways to go to get to the level you and the rest of the pros are at (if ever) but it's encouraging just to see some things actually grow! Next step is getting the acros truly happy... (crosses fingers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to get some of the more challenging specimens dialed in but at least some of it is happy Hopefully I didn't jinx myself there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
