all this in a 12g?! wow! try to upload your pics again!

[clownfish45]

Sounds good but can't see the pic

[sophia101]

I also cannot see the pics of your tank. From the sounds of it, I agree with costello (not to be harsh at all) but it seems a bit squished...I cant wait to see pics though :)

Your a big fan of carbon huh? 1 bag of Chemi-Pure Elite and 1 Purigen would replace all the chemical media last longer and cost less. Cut a stock sponge in half and place it in the opening between chamber 2 and 3. Easier to keep clean. Get a MaxiJet 900 with a HydorFlo, Your corals will appreciate it. Where is your heater? With that bio-load you might want to think about a Sapphire skimmer to go in chamber 1 and add some chaeto to chamber 2.

sorry about that guys!!!!
Here you go!

[clayton07]

yes a skimmer is on the way as well as a small Quite One pump.

Looks like you have a super clean tank- definitely something for everyone to aspire to having. What is your maintenance schedule? Do you feed the rose BTA?

I do a 25% water change every sunday, and clean the sponges and what not
clean the glass every other day or as needed.
I spot feed the Rose every other day or so. The clown feeds it when he eats though. He grabs food in the tank and brings it to the Rose and sets it inside, then goes out and gets more food. I usualy spot feed it when I feed the chili coral.

Very nice.

Those are not PPE's though, they lack the green split mouth the People Eater zoa's have. Look like you have Jokers, still very nice though.

Yea I realized that today, my buddy at work corrected me on that. I still like them the same!

beautiful tank how long has it been running,that is the brightest leather IVE EVER SEEN,awsome corals!!!

[clayton07]

thanks. I was told that the leather is pretty rare. I think there is an auction on reef farmer for them, but I think you have to wait a few years to get one.

[Illuminati]

I got the same leather from www.purecaptive.com, he propagates them and it's the Steve Tyree Neon Green Toadstool. A very cool coral :)

I thought I would update the tank pics with the new Blues. They were only in the tank about 30 min when I took these so they were not all opened up.
