 I think it's about 3". Still hard to tell because it rarely comes out all the way for me to see. Just peeks and teases. Nothing is really new with the tank. Everything is about the same exceot for one of the finger leathers that doesn't seem to be doing that great. It might be because I am still using the Kent Salt with their new formulation.....not sure. All the fish are still alive and doing well as are all the opther corals, but they don't seem to be growing very much. It's like they're alive, but they're fully grown up now.

Great Pics Pat! Your mandarin would have loved my tank this morning. Something hatched/spawned and there were thousands of tiny things swimming around the tank for about 30 minutes. They only last 30 minutes as my Anthias went CRAZY!!!!
 You'd think they'd never been fed before!

some good news, i did score a 180 gallon AGA tank last week. i got it on trade for some other equipment (about $150 worth), but its got a busted support and its not reef ready. im looking into drilling a tank that big. if i feel i can do that confidently, then itll be a reef some day. if i cant get it drilled, no tellin what will end up in it Pat, great picture of the elusive pistol. the tank is coming along nicely too. i love the profile shots of your fish. wow!  now that is my style of a reef!! WTG!!

wow nice pics! I got to stop slacking and post some updates of my tank.
What I originally thought was a porcelain crab predator turned out not to be. I just had a bunch of them molt all within a few days of eachother. I also had jsut recently changed my flow, so they moved to different spots for feeding(along the back and udner things so I couldnt see them). The potential mantis is still just that, a potential mantis. I look at my tank every night, and usually once a night when the lights have been off trying to see this eluysive shrimp, but I still have not seen it for more then a half second in 6 months. I only know if its existance because of the clicking noise and the fact that ive seen it twice while looking at the tank with a flashlight but both times it retreated long ebfore I could get any sort of positive id. I figure if it truly were a mantis Id see some large pile of snail and hermit shells somewhere but I dont. I also dont feel that Ive lost many snails or hermits. When you have a mantis you know it right?.. right? Ive started my limpet killing spree. I feel bad killing the little guys seeing as most of them were born in the tank. Its too bad they havea taste for sps and sponge and I have no refugium to send them too. |

Hey! I somehow missed this whole page of updates. This thread was what got me hooked on starting a reef tank!!
Awesome pictures Pat and smcnally.  I just hope mine is somewhere near as nice as those tanks are in the future!!Well my TBS is at the 6 month point. I have purchased some frags and I just got an AC jr. So far I have only hooked up the temp probe and the PH probe! Here are some pictures (sorry but my camera and camera skills are not as good as I would like  ):    I’m working on a larger sump but every time I start to install it I think of something else I want to do. I need to install the DC8 for the AC jr and clean up my wires. Here is current sump which is pretty crowded:  and the “in progress” sump:  Jay

smcnally - Thanks! Yup home made!! Got the idea off of the DIY thread here on RC and I need to make the canopy next.
Here is a picture of something purple on the side of my rock. I think they are Trunsits (sp)? Can someone ID? They are neat as they sometimes form a bubble or look like the have melted into each other. Then they open back up as you see them!   Jay

Hey all,
Well, my SEIOs gave out over MACNA and won't restart. So the budget comitttee has approved TUNZE streams! YEAH!!! So I'm getting ready to buy one large pump and the new Tunze Nanostream when they come out later. I know some of you bought the Tunze pumps (I know Pat did), I was wondering, did you buy the magnet holder too? How thick is the magnet on the outside of the tank? I only have 1/2 to 3/4" clearance on the outside of the tank for a magnet holder. Brian

Hello everyone. I am new here, found this while reading the TBS site for about a year now. Just purchased a 12 gallon Aquapod and can't wait until it arrives and I can place an order with TBS. There is so much useful info here I have a feeling I will be here on a daily basis.

I'm finally at the stage of needing rock for my tank! Salt water goes in this weekend, finally!!!
I'm really torn on which way to go: LFS Fiji live rock with 2 day shipment (very little die off) at $4.5/lbs local pickup or TBS with the added shipping costs... It almost doubles the cost to go with TBS... However, TBS packages contain everything, so it's not an apples to apples comparison in that I would still need a clean up crew and some sand sifters from the LFS... Also, the the amount of bio diversity TBS displays is quite remarkable and a big, if not the biggest draw for me! Too many choices, each with their own pros and cons... I need to be tipped off the fence one way or the other! |
