Ziggy953 March 16, 2008 Share March 16, 2008 Well I haven't posted on here much heck I've only been a member for a little over a month but I thought since everyone else is showing off I would post some pics of my tank as well. The first pic is from the beginning and the photo quality isn't that great. So here we go. Jan 2006 Feb 2008 Now for some other shots of the tank.

shawns March 16, 2008 Share March 16, 2008 that green cap appears to be quite large!! how big do you think it is anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 March 16, 2008 Author Share March 16, 2008 nice tank, what equipment do you have on it? Connor Thanks Connor!! As for equipment there isn't anything too special on the tank. I have dual 175w MH (10000K) dual 110w VHO actinics and 2x54w T5 super actinics for lighting. I have an ASM G4X recirculating skimmer. Tunze Nano Streams for flow and that's pretty much it. Under the tank I have a 3 stage sump with a 20g tall as my fuge that is packed with Macro and LR. that green cap appears to be quite large!! how big do you think it is anyway? The green cap is GIANT!!! It's well over the size of a dinner plate and I have fragged the heck out of it. I wish my orange would grow that quickly.

Larry Grenier March 17, 2008 Share March 17, 2008 Very nice corals and the rope trim on the stand is a nice "nautical" touch. Summerduck, that's off of 29 not far from 28 right? Population around 27 or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason the filter freak March 18, 2008 Share March 18, 2008 Nice tank! That birds nest is sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 March 18, 2008 Author Share March 18, 2008 Nice tank! That birds nest is sweet! Thanks!!! The green or the pink? I have about 10 frags of the pink growing. It grew a lot faster then I was expecting it to and where it is in the tank it ends up touching the front glass after a couple of weeks If I don't keep it trimmed back. BRK all the way for those awesome ORAs!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy953 April 5, 2008 Author Share April 5, 2008 Nothing too exciting to report on the tanks progress. Everything is growing and looking good. If I could just get my clowns into the expensive RBTA I got for them I would be a happy reef-er. Oh yeah I did end up doing some plumbing modifications. My skimmer is now in a 30g tote. the dang Uniseals wouldn't stop leaking and I got tired of it so I took the tote I used to mix SW in and made it a sump. It is working out very well and I'm up to 180g totaly system volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbittner April 5, 2008 Share April 5, 2008 WHOA!!! It's amazing to see a before (years before) pic with a now pic. What a change! Beautiful reef! Is that a big fish eater carpet anemone in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 April 5, 2008 Author Share April 5, 2008 (edited) WHOA!!! It's amazing to see a before (years before) pic with a now pic. What a change! Beautiful reef! Is that a big fish eater carpet anemone in there? I actually gave that carpet to a friend of mine that had a much larger tank. At one point I had 3 anemones in the tank at once. I had a GIANT LTA that I got from John at BRK and had to take it back because it just got too big. I also had a condy (yuck gone now) with the carpet. I got the Carpet from a friend on another site he had a small tank and not enough light so I took it. Now I have one anemone a RBTA that I picked up from BRK a few months ago. After I answered that I scrolled up and didn't see the carpet in any of those pics. What exactly are you talking about? The large coral in the center of the tank on the bottom (green) is a trichophilia. On the Left side of the tank that is Galaxia. Not sure which you mean.

tbittner April 5, 2008 Share April 5, 2008 I was referring to this: I could have SWORN it's a carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 April 5, 2008 Author Share April 5, 2008 (edited) Toadstool....It does look like a carpet in that pic. If you look at the very first pic that is the same toadstool when I first got it. It was a tiny little guy then.,.... Edited April 5, 2008 by Ziggy953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbittner April 5, 2008 Share April 5, 2008 WOW! I wouldn't have ever guessed it was toadstool. I mean, the folds in it and everything, it really looks like a carpet. Camouflage at it's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 April 7, 2008 Author Share April 7, 2008 WOW! I wouldn't have ever guessed it was toadstool. I mean, the folds in it and everything, it really looks like a carpet. Camouflage at it's finest. It is one ove my favs in the tank. It's getting too big though. I have to do some trimming on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 June 20, 2008 Author Share June 20, 2008 Here is my RBTA that I picked up several months ago from BRK. It was a tiny thing when I got it and bleached out a bit. It has come back nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 June 22, 2008 Author Share June 22, 2008 I guess I need to add some pics of the stuff I picked up at the social. I'll do that after I straighten a few things up in the tank. It was great meeting all of you! I wish now I had joined WAMAS 2 years ago. Great group of people! My wife told me on the way home that she had a lot more fun then she thought she would. I'm looking forward to the next function! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy953 June 22, 2008 Author Share June 22, 2008 Thanks...I'm going up from the 72 soon. The corals I have are just getting so large that I either have to keep cutting them back or upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbittner June 22, 2008 Share June 22, 2008 UPGRADE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy953 June 23, 2008 Author Share June 23, 2008 UPGRADE!!! Well my wife and I have plans for a 210 upgrade but with her a full time student and one income it is going to be a slower process then we planned. Not to worry though it will happen. After the social she is more into the tank then ever before. She even let me buy a new lighting system for my frag tank. AWESOME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
