WOW! I can't believe I've had this tank for 9 months. A HUGE thank you to everyone who has listened to me whine about my cyano outbreaks, sick corals, water issues etc etc etc. I'm really pleased with how this tank has come along. Once I get the aquascaping down I think I'll really be happy with it.

The tank 'nosey nellie's'

Here are 3 different areas of the tank

Again, thank you all for your input and encouragement!

I love the aquascaping personally, I think a few more colorful corals would help but the rock work just ROCKS

**roka64** · 06-07-2007, 09:05 AM

That looks AWESOME!! Nice job!

blazeyreef · 06-07-2007, 09:29 AM

Very nice job!

Is that green coral on the far left your torch coral? Very colorful!

**melosu58** · 06-07-2007, 09:50 AM

Yes, it is....and I'm going to split it up pretty soon. Planning a trip to the NW anytime soon?

I'd be happy to give it to someone who could give it a good home.

Oh, and thank you much for the info on the ro unit.

Wish I was, I'd love to take some off your hands! haha.

How are your tangs doing in that tank? I have the same tank and only have one tang (powder brown) just curious how the Hippo specifically is doing. My son wants one bad, I've been avoiding it as much as possible...Love to hear some feedback! Your tank looks awesome!

Thanks Ziggy! - I've had really good luck with the hippo tang (knock on wood). I understand that they are ick magnets, but I've not had a problem. I didn't get a really small hippo-it was about an inch and a half long when I got him. It took about a week for the yellow tang and hippo tang to work out their differences. I understand about wanting the hippo...they really are colorful and dart around alot. It was a toss up between the hippo and a yellow eye kole tang....glad I got the hippo. HTH and good luck!
