Sorry to hear about your angel!

 

[blue_eyes53813]

Thanks all, It is a way bummer... I dont know what happened to it... It looked fine but swam funny at times, ate like a hog... it was a VERY expensive fish.. And I always hate to lose them.... I prob. wont buy another..


One thing I have learned in this hobby is I think we can reduce the stress on the fish, if we can just add them to our home tank right away and not have all the acclimating at the pet store and then another change in bringing them home and adding them to another system. If I do get another I will pick it up right away . The sensitive fish cant handle all the change.

Went to Nigels yesterday ( long ride by the way) in Chicago. Got 50 lbs of live rock, 4 ricordia rocks, 3 frogspawn, 1 torch, 1 red blastos, 1 green blastos, gees I know Im forgetting to mention something but Everything is in the tank and doing great,,, Everything was open before the lights came on this morning....:whstlr: My tank def. looks fuller ..Pictures to come in the next few days.. The tank looks different and rearranged

Nigel- if you read this - it was nice to meet ya...

I love your tank would love to have an in wall setup but 120yr old houses in ny dont work so well for this especially when yo rent so i'll live vicariously through your tank.

 

[blue_eyes53813]

Thank You Semigodd, Maybe someday it will all work out for you..

 

[blue_eyes53813]

Ok a few new pictures... All my whole tank pictures didnt turn out because of the glare from the french doors,,, I will try again...

(living vicariously through your tank journal):whstlr:

 

[blue_eyes53813]

Thanks all,, I tried full tank shots yesterday and the sun was causing the windows and french doors to show up on the glass... I was gonna go down after dark last night and didnt have time... I promise I will try tonight.

Looks great!
Keep up the good work.

WOW! awesome. Lots of light, do you find that that much light is a necessity, or do you just like the look?

 

[blue_eyes53813]

I like that much light because I can keep almost any coral in the tank and not have to worry about if it gets enough light. It is about 7.5 watts per gallon which is what I strived for...

 

[blue_eyes53813]

[Gina]
