6 months of Growth - Aquarium Advice

goisles1 · 09-21-2009, 02:20 PM

Hi all,

This is another before and after thread. I started my tank in Jan09. But by March I started getting the hang of things and my tank started to come alive.

So, I think now's a good time to post some current shots along with what it looked like in March 09. When I look back I cannot believe how much Coral growth I've gotten in just 6 months. I can only imagine what this tank will look like a year from now.

So..Here goes:

MY first coral was a small Zoas Colony(Green Dragon Eyes I believe):

I now have a Zoas Rock with different color Zoas. The Original one has grown A LOT!

In the above picture of the RIC, you can see another Green Dragon Eye Zoa population. When I mounted the original colony a piece of the frag rock broke off. So I glued it to another piece of LR rubble. Here is what it looked like in March09:

That rock is now completely covered(see RIC photo above). I plan to FRag out this piece soon.

Your tank looks awesome, to say the least lol. I really enjoy looking at it. It's actually really clean too. IMO, a clean tank, is a beautiful tank.

I have a question though, what are the dimensions of your 45G?

Thanks...

I have a stand for either a 75/90g tank in my garage. I'm looking for the right deal on a 90g and will hopfully upgrade this baby in the coming months.

Nice job! Pretty rewarding when things are thriving, isn't it?!
