Fine, I know it's hard to believe, but those pics are NOT my tank (sigh). They belong to a person who has the time and money to create multiple reef tanks for display and education. I'm not sure I have his name right, but I think it's Walt something or other, last name starts with a D. He lives in the Orlando area, Lake Buena Vista.

Back in the day, they used to let you SCUBA in the living seas. I don't know if they do anymore, but it was cool.

Well, It's been a while since I posted here, so I will try to bring you up to speed. In April I had an Ich incident which killed all the fish except for 2 chromis. Hospital/QT tank was set up and a lesson was learned. I have been working on coral growth and hopefully finalized the rock setup. I will be starting to get ready to re-introduce fish again soon, and then I will hopefully remember to keep this reef chronicle updated. I must try harder!!
Cheers for checking in & best of luck on the re-start !

Sorry to hear about the loss, and am glad that you made the best of a bad situation. Marine Ich is the worst because of how fast and how contagious it is between fish....not to mention that the known treatments kill most/all inverts. Keep up the great thread!

Now that I'm back in business, I finally have my yellow watchman goby/pistol shrimp. I love watching the goby, the frown is awesome. Need some help though, I am tearing down my 29g. I'm going to make that a hospital/QT tank and my daughter is going to use my 20g long (current hosp./QT) for freshwater. I have kind of neglected the 29 by focusing on the 93. My question is adding the fish from the little tank to the big tank. I have 2 clowns, a six line wrasse and a pygmy angel. What order should I move them? I was thinking the clowns should be last, they are bullies and I was thinking the other fish should have a chance to stake out some territory first. I also don't want to junk my LR, it has some good corraline on it, but it also has quite a bit of GHA. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Looks really good........what are the lights your using?....they look similar to mine.

The lights are Mars Aqua 165w LED. Bought them from a guy in town. I found them online for about $125 each. I don't think the spectrum is quite right, but it is good enough to get me through until I can afford AIs. My corals are growing and I haven't had any nuisance algae yet, so I'm not really rushing out to spend money on lights yet.

Yep.....same as I have!......i`ve yet to device a way of installing them, not wanting to hang them from the ceiling. At the moment they are resting on the roof bars from my car.
