I like your light hanging method, though I'm surprised you couldn't find a more aesthetically pleasing bracket. Good call on the cord concealers, I've got 'em throughout my place as well (tv, computers, stereo, etc . . .) Looking forward to seeing some life in there! |

Oh, man . . . you need to call into MTV and see if they'll "Pimp Your Brackets"

Things are coming along [img]http://smiliesftw.com/x/eek3run.gif[/img] |
Nice, I see some snails in there. I'm glad to see you decided to put in a shallow sand bed. How many powerheads are you going to put in there?
|
Going to try and get away with one koralia 4 or one modded nanostream at first, although I'm sure I'm going to have to add at least one more once things start growing in. Considered the vortech, but there are some other things I would like to get first.

Easy on the livestock!!!! :D
|
Looking good Brandon:)
|

|

[B]Around 55g (29.5x22.5x19.5) [/B][/QUOTE] I've noticed that the wisest reefers choose 55s, good choice. It really helps to tie the room together, dude. |
New fish :cool:

You're quite the nonconformist!
Thats an awesome looking (pipe?)fish. I think he's spotted that Cyclopeeze and he's going in for the kill. |
Thats exactly whats happening. He eats frozen like a champ so far.
|
he looks really good, pipe fish don't mind the strong flow of sps type tanks?
btw....i see that nice deepwater up there. ;) so if marv got 4 in, and kept one, i guess that means the other 3 local owners are you, me, and twon. don't we all feel special! ;) :thumbsup: |

I can't wait to see that frag grown out. Judging from naka's pics, it should be a pretty fast grower :cool: |
what are you plans for future fish stocking?

[B]what are you plans for future fish stocking? [/B][/QUOTE] Pair of sunburst anthias for sure, and I want to try my hand at a trio of ventralis as well. I've never kept ventralis before, and I know their reputation; but I want to try them just once. Other than that I'm not sure. Maybe a hooded fairy pair or a flame wrasse pair, if I'm feeling brave (aka stupid) with the open top. :D |
Brandon,
That Pipe Fish was awesome! Hope he does well for you. |
