id say one heck of an update.. (16 pics)

[Chef Reef]

To me this is a pretty big change for my tank.. It went from about 10-15 lbs of rock to about 55-60 lbs right now.... new corals, a new fish. I love it.. Please let me know what you think or any suggestions. Pictures aren't the best but i dont have a fancy camera like most of you do The new rock i got from Emilio and theres a yuma and some what looks like some ink metalic zoa's as well from him. hard to get a pic of the yuma so there isnt one. . And the Orange Gorgnian with red polyps, and the brown with green center and green with brown center polyp colony as well as the red fire cardinal are from Reefer26.

The stock list includes: Zebra goby, Red fire cardinal, SSS, 3 emrald crabs, 2 CUC's, 2 Big blue hermits, 3 astreia snails.

I think id like to add maybe 1-2 more smaller fish. maybe some clowns or something iunno yet, havent givin it much thought. i want to make sure this big change is gonna be fine first.

First heres some shots of what the tank looked like at about 2:00pm..

Very nice, looks good keep it up and let me know how it goes w the gorgonian, I want to get some but I heard theyre tough to keep!! but Looks good.

[Chef Reef]

Theres also some green rics and some radioactive dragon eyes that are closed to the right of the metalic pink zoas in some of the pics. i will also link a video or 2.

[Chef Reef]

thanks bernie. if you want some i can break off some off this peice and you can have it. i read up on em and from what i have read they are fairly easy. so we'll see..

[Chef Reef]

Oh ya, not all of the rock fit that i got from Emilio, so i have about 10 lbs in my sump and 2 big peices of tonga that i cant fit anywhere sad.. they are in a QT tank for now.

[Bernie21]

Oh yea, Thats the amazing Kodak EasyShare C633 for ya . Its super advanced. :P

[Chef Reef]

the eel died.. i dont know what happened. i was at school and my girlfriend called me up and said he was dead. i dont understand why, he was eating fine and the water was perfect.. no new additions or anything. i just dont know.... pretty sad day when i got home

[Bernie21]

Sorry to hear it!! Well Iether way your off to a good start again so keep it up!!

[Chef Reef]

Thanks i will try to :P i think the only things i want right now for it are some colorful ric/mushrooms, maybe 1-2 more fish, a SMALL nem, and a whole list of equipment :P

Id like to get some new lights but thats a little ways down the road.. i just got these ones like 2-3 months ago.. also a calicum reactor, uv sterlizer, a bigger sump that i can put a fuge on, and maybe one more koralia. but that stuff is still a few months away.

[jessp]

looks a lot better, make sure the koralia is not too close to the surface it looks like it may be starting to suck down air. that can cause a bunch of microbubbles to happen in the tank. looks much better though

[Chef Reef]

ya i noticed that once i saw the pic. its fixed now thanks
