Peace, Jeff

I will get some new pics this week after switching all over to xm20K...

[seldon]

looks great, especially for only being 4 months old. Cant wait to see the new pics. Hope the bulb swithc goes well.

[gqjeff]

The bulb switch is awesome.. In these pics I had 2 xm20k and 2 cv 14k's.. The xm20k just make the colors pop even more..

TY, Jeff

[seldon]

hows the growth; have you noticed any changes?

[Benny Z]

tank looks awesome!

is that a bare bottom with just a little sand coverage?

[gqjeff]

Benny, its BB with Southdown mixed with epoxy making a solid substrate for crazy flow.. turning about 8500 gph in this 240... Growth is amazing and colors are awesome too..

[gqjeff]

Here is the same tort after switching the lights and 3 weeks of growth. In the second pic 2 of the 4 lights had already switched off.

neat tank, looks like you had a earthquake and the sea floor buckled

[kennethl]

wow! 4months! looks amazing. I'm guessing you moved up from a previous tank.. I'll be happy if I have half that much life a year from now

[gqjeff]

Ken, only about 4 corals came from my old tank.. I got ride of most of my stuff cause I was down for about 2 month after moving into the new house... None of them were sps either.. Some old LPS and zoos I had.

[gqjeff]

Epon, that would be my mini tsunami....

[epon]

so is it an illusion or did it actually seperate from the bottom and crack ?

[seldon]

In the second pic, I was kind of wondering that myself.

[matt the fiddler]

where in the state are you?

I am pushing my tank in a similiar direction as yours minus the zeo. but black starboard on the bottom :) it is nice to see a young tank looking so good.

[gqjeff]

I am in central IL.. Yes the epoxy bed cracked.. I lined the bottom with acrylic and it warped from heat. I left the lights on the empty tank after draining the fresh water. Got home to find it warped and cracked. Nothing I could do from that point on. I use it as excuse to get more corals for the faux bed to cover it hahah. I just snapped some new ones about 45 min ago.. I will post some of those in a few aswell.

Peace, Jeff

hrmm, I like the look of the faux bed ... tank looks snappy too

[matt the fiddler]

let me know when you want to trade frags:)

what is your calcium supply setup?

[z28cam]

Wow that bubble tip looks awsome very nice.

[gqjeff]

CA rx is a MRC cr-4 dual chamber.... 440 Ca alk 8 Mg 1400 salinity 1.025. The rbta has almost tripled in size in 8 weeks..

Peace all TY...

[R33f3r]

Your Rose anemone is very nice, great job dude.

[gqjeff]

TY, I feed him 2-3 times weekly.. I use silversides, shrimp, formula1, squid. He gets a variety and does well with this routine...

[gqjeff]

Here are a couple sweet frags and corals doing well and coloring like crazy in the zeovit system...

Peace, jeff

I am thinking of joining the club.. I would like to possibly host a meeting when the tank mutures...

[weimluv1]

when this tank gets going, you will have a serious crowding issue.


i guess you'll just have to starting giving away frags then :D

i am what? 3rd in line right?

:D

great tank!

[UnderwaterExotic]

GGJeff, where do you find the epoxy to mix with the sand.. Any info would help!!! Thanks

[jeyes1]
