There's nothing in the tank right now. I always stock heavy and am well aware of the size

You have some great talent with the camera. Would you mind if I used some of your pics on the Ohio Reef site i.e. banner

You're more than welcome to use them. I've got larger file sizes as well about 5'xs the size I reiszed them to.

Thank You. I use a pentax Kx with a standard 55mm lens. I'll try and get some better ones that are more clear. The tank was cloudy from a slight kalk overdose.

Finally got some time to work on the tank. Here it is as it sits tonight. After the cora frag swap and the next order at work I place this tank will be filled up and looking good. The LEDs are impossible to take pictures under and I was adjusting them the whole time these were taken. Feedback welcomed:

Hard to belive this tank is only 2 months old. Amazing work.

Thank You! You'll be helping me fill it up at the cora swap  :) The coraline growth is amazing but it's been annoying to keep the glass clean. In a few weeks I'll have it controlled and pretty much all automatic which will help keep stable levels with dosing pumps. As for fish I am pretty stocked up but I've got room for a pair of helfrichi firefish.

I'm picking up a basic 2 pump doser at the swap for cheap but not sure if it will work or not but I plan on getting at least two Bulk Reef supply dosers anyways. As far as the tank goes I'm very happy with how it's turning out.

Thanks! I'm still debating what fish to order sunday for the tuesday shipment but mine as well take advantage of the 25% this month. Thinking about a The Gold Assessor Basslet and a pair of helfrichi's

Thank You  ^-^ Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some nice pieces at the frag swap for it. I'm looking to take out the tusk and yellow tang. The yellow tang is  getting too aggressive towards the regal and the tusks eats any new fish I add including the most recent helfrichi firefish. Well see what I decent on but I'm trying to get a smaller tusk through work.

Sucks your husk isint working out.  If I had a bigger tank id buy him off of you. He is sweet looking.  Good luck at the frag swap.  I wish I could make it...

He doesn't touch my snails. And shrimp and fish under say 1.5'' he would eat. He won't touch my clowns but anything new I add doesn't stand a chance. I even add the new fish at night when he's asleep but he thinks anything that's new is fair game.
