Speechless! That's one gorgeous tank and fish selection goes very well.

bradleyj · 11/04/2009, 08:00 PM

Looks Fantastic Peter! Just like I knew it would.

JHAI3 · 11/04/2009, 08:02 PM

I like the double canyon effect!

cas · 11/04/2009, 09:25 PM

Absolutely gorgeous. I really like your aqua scaping.

Did you use PVC/fiberglass rods for your pillars? Also did you use live rock or dry rock?

jmaneyapanda · 11/04/2009, 09:35 PM

This is the best forum on RC. Fish fish and more fish. Corals are ok, but FISH!!

I love the tank.

I rarely go to the other forums. I just hang out here with my other "fishy" friends. LOL

SDguy · 11/04/2009, 10:35 PM

LOL, thanks folks! cas - I used acrylic rods for the pillars; all live rock.

Thanks. I want to try something like that when I set up a new tank,

Beautiful tank SDguy!!! What size tank did you say that was?

ShrimpChipGal · 11/05/2009, 04:46 AM

Wow! Beautifully done! And man I have no clue how you work so fast on the tank. It's Magic! hehe.

I have little reef gnomes that only come out at night to help

I did a water change last night and cleaned the glass, so hopefully I can get some better pics of the meredithi tonight!

SDguy · 11/05/2009, 09:08 PM

Ugh, I'm so good with this camera on my reef, but the T5's on this FO tank are not working for me...

Here's the best I could do tonight:

ShrimpChipGal · 11/05/2009, 09:32 PM

That blue is coming in nicely!!

itachi · 11/06/2009, 03:20 AM

meh, i need to come over soon to look at those fish again lol ... Btw reef is looking spectacular .... especially compared to how my move went lol

jmaneyapanda · 11/06/2009, 09:21 AM

I just got my fourth juvenile the other day- TINY. Maybe an inch and a half. Still in total juvie colors. I hope my existing females dont object.

SDguy · 11/06/2009, 09:35 AM

Nice! A true addict

Awesome. Are you letting it adjust in a speciment container first to see the female's reactions?

jmaneyapanda · 11/06/2009, 12:12 PM

Right now it QT, but I hve alarge "social acclimitization" container that all fish go in, before releasing. It has saved lives. For example, my clarion doesnt care about ANY fish, except regal angels. He will not let one in his tank. That has saved two regals lives, for sure.

For those of you that don't venture out of this forum

here is a link to my reef upgrade thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1735858

jmaneyapanda · 11/14/2009, 07:08 AM

Well, a quartet wasnt in the cards. I added the tiny jivenile, and watched very closely for aggression to it. None from anyone. So, I was very pleased. But, I stupidly wasnt watching the other fish as well. Late last night, I noticed the two existing females were going at it hard and heavy (not in a college humor sort of way), after nearly 6 months of peaceful coexistance. I was able to seperate out the weaker of the two, but this morning, she had passed. I guess a trio is all I have in the cards. And now they are Poppa Bear (L), Momma bear (M), mand baby bear (S) sized. The tiny one is very very interetsed in staying with the other two, while they, in general, care only about eating.

Mark · 11/14/2009, 07:25 AM

Sorry to hear that.

Really sorry to hear that

jmaneyapanda · 11/14/2009, 04:35 PM

I feel like a real idiot about it. Because I shouldve known better. But, what can you do? Trio it is.

SDguy · 11/15/2009, 10:37 AM

Well, so far so good. The angel is doing well. Eating well. I have noticed he eats quite a bit of algae off the tank bottom/overflow. Almost centropyge-ish. Is the normal?
