I can't wait to see what the next 6 months have in store for me now that I have the fish that I want stocked...now it is just time to watch everything grow and mature in my tank....and of course add more lol.

[Secondgen]

Great lookin tank! What kinda equipment you runnin?

[apelaston]

Hhmmm equipment. . now brace urself for this list. . . aquaclear 30,50, and 70 powerhead 70 has a hydor wavemaker on it. . filtration is done by 12 gal waterchanges every monday and an aqueon 55 hob filter w a ball of cheato added inbtween the dual carbon filters. . . cant get nesimpler but i dont understand how 2 plumb a sump or fuge so i took my skimmer out. . i want 2 get a sump *fuge goin w my 29 gal that i have here some day so i can get my skimmer back out and some more water 2 help w my quality. . . any takers on beer n a plumming party?     i dose my tank daily w a cap of liquid calcium n feed coral frenzy and dts when i have it. i target feed my coral bout every few weeks but i am goin 2 start doing that weekly.

[Secondgen]

Very nice! How do your coral like the coral frenzy?

[apelaston]

Things open up better w thd coral frenzy than marine snow but i think the dts gets me more growth n color. . .even from my fish.

[Secondgen]

Does Petland sell DTs?

[apelaston]

Not that i know and right now they r n a pinch n piqua i no so i dont know when they will.

[NORTHDIXIEREEF]

IS THAT THE CLAM YOU GOT FROM ME ? IF SO I WILL BUY IT BACK.

IT IS FOR THE SAME PERSON THAT WANTED WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT.

I STOCK DT'S AND CORAL FRENZY PLUS REEF BUGS WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MANY OF MY CUSTOMER IS ALOT BETTER THAN CORAL FRENZY.


YOUR TANK IS LOOKIN REAL GOOD. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL 1 YEAR PICS.

[apelaston]

Yea its the same clam. i love it but i told u bout the attack from my angel on it so now that the mantel has grown back and it is opening up again i keep worrying bout another issue w the flame. . . i would hate 2 have it pickd 2 death. u have a coral order n this week dodd?

[apelaston]

I have a few more changes left n my io bag so i will make my mind up soon. i do need something w more calc 2 help support all my calc. needs of my lps and who doesnt like pretty purple n pink rocks 2 haha

[apelaston]

i am upgrading my lights this weekend from 4x65w pc lighting to 4x96w pc lighting so i am hopefully going to notice some color and growth changes in the next month or so. . . . am also adding a few pieces of sps to add some solidity to the look of my tank. . . it is going to continue to be mostly lps and softys though cause i love that movement they bring to the display. . . i will post pictures 1 month from when i put them on my tank to see if the difference is noticable. *crosses fingers*

[gthorpe2]

[apelaston]

I lost the birdsnest tonight. . it came undone from its rubble and blew away. . . cant find it yet.  :-(

[quicksilver]

got to glue that bad boy back to its rock. birds nest are so cool looking 

[Midwest Express]

I had the same thing with my xenia I got from Lazy... I ended up finding it a few days later attached to the back of a rock.  Thankfully it was a small rock it attached to so I was able to move it so that I can actually see it.

[apelaston]

Birdsnest was never found again. . just rubble and glue residue. . . . . i will get another one soon. all my other sps peices are doing really well so i am going to get some nicer frags at the next swap or from ndr
