Our 90 Gal Reef redone

Raf · 11-21-2007, 09:41 PM

Here are some pictures of the new aquascape in our reef tank. My goal was to provide more open swimming space while keeping a natural feel. I re-did it a couple weeks ago, and everything is finally begining to settle in. Some corals are still a little shocked, but nothing too serious.

Please excuse the cloudy water and the diatoms, I am running that ugly phosban reactor right now to try and fix this problem.

Full Tank:

Side of tank:

Left side:

Right side:

Red/orange starfish on a walkabout:

Clownfish in thier 2 "hosts":

Newest addition to my reef tank, a male squarespot anthias. I am hoping my lone female lyretail will keep this guy.... well.... a guy! So far they have not even looked at each other, the male is mostly interested in his reflection. I've had him since Thursday and he's out and about and eating.

Cheers

Are you kidding! You'd be a millionaire if you hybridized two different species of Anthias! Get to match making!
