brad908 November 30, 2015 Author November 30, 2015 Always a relief to come back from being gone for a week and the tank looks clean and clear. I ordered 10 chromis, 3 lyretail anthias, and a rainford goby on black friday.
AlanM November 30, 2015 November 30, 2015 Neat. Post a video soon of all those chromis tooling around in the tank!
brad908 November 30, 2015 Author November 30, 2015 Mangroves are doing just fine under LED. And I've only been running them at 45%. Aluminum wire came last week so I can start shaping the branches.
brad908 December 1, 2015 Author December 1, 2015 Quick pics before water change. Obviously the scape is still a work in progress.
YHSublime December 1, 2015 December 1, 2015 As always, unique. I'm digging how you took the freshwater garden approach with the saltwater slope macro concept. Probably make your money back trimming those macros in no time. Those duncans are really pretty, I've not seen the orange looking types over this way. What's the plan for the left hand side?
brad908 December 1, 2015 Author December 1, 2015 Nice Bro Thanks! As always, unique. I'm digging how you took the freshwater garden approach with the saltwater slope macro concept.

Thanks man. They're just regular Duncan's I got from ERC a while ago. Maybe they look a little more brown/orangish from not being under blue light?
YHSublime December 1, 2015 December 1, 2015 They're just regular Duncan's I got from ERC a while ago. Maybe they look a little more brown/orangish from not being under blue light? I've got mine under white light and they are super green and blue.
brad908 December 1, 2015 Author December 1, 2015 Hmmmm idk. Here is a pic from that 18" cube I had when I first moved to California I think it might just be stressed a little from a long dip and it hasn't been in the best water conditions over the last few months of transferring tanks.
brad908 December 1, 2015 Author December 1, 2015 I'm looking at it now without the 2 6700k t5's on and it still has the nice green centers. Think the picture just got washed out.

brad908 December 3, 2015 Author December 3, 2015 (edited) I can't stop staring at the tank, so I decided to take some pics. Water is a little murky, but the fish are looking great. All are very active. Murky long view Edited December 3, 2015 by brad908
brad908 December 3, 2015 Author December 3, 2015 So cool. One of my favorite tanks. Love the minimalism. Thanks! Glad I've gone with a ton of fish in this tank, makes it so much fun to watch. 16 fish are currently in the tank, and I suspect the chromis number will always fluctuate since they always kill each other. Probably max the tank out at 20 fish.
brad908 December 4, 2015 Author December 4, 2015 where'd you get the fish? Unique corals. They had 20% off on black Friday and they do $15 shipping within California. Think I might stop going to the LFS and only go through UC. The LFS 10 minutes away always has diseased fish and the rest are in the East Bay, which isn't convenient at all and a $5 toll going across the bridge.
YHSublime December 4, 2015 December 4, 2015 Awesome. Digging the fish. Let me know how those macros grow. Thinking about doing some in the nano, but don't want to have to trim all the time.

brad908 December 7, 2015 Author December 7, 2015 Scape is still a work in progress. Put in 10 pounds of Fiji pink
brad908 December 7, 2015 Author December 7, 2015 Love the last shot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk +1 Yea, the milky white water from adding new sand gave it a nice look. __________________ I broke my ELOS ATO, so I need a replacement, and I need an auto feeder before our Christmas vacation.
YHSublime December 9, 2015 December 9, 2015 I'll be really impressed when you actually grow it out, challenge accepted?
