6 month progress

PSU4ME · 01-31-2004, 08:21 PM

This is the progress of my 90 gallon....all rock is in place and all params and levels have been perfect for like 2 months....time to start the fish invasion and some more corals.

This is the original start:

Here is what it looks like today:

Thanks for looking

This may be a better pic

PSU4ME · 01-31-2004, 08:25 PM

WOW...I suck....Hopefully this one is larger:

Nice aquascaping! So what type of livestock do you have? Anything yet?

NaH2O · 01-31-2004, 08:45 PM

Awesome!

Craig Manoukian · 01-31-2004, 08:46 PM

Very nice. I saw a couple of clown fish in the first pic, are they still with you?

caja · 01-31-2004, 09:23 PM

wow! I really like the aquascaping. lots of smaller pieces of rock that leave you with plenty of ledges to perch corals on. can't wait to see the updates in the months to come.

well done!

just a tip, turn off the flash on the camera and you won't get that white splotch in the photos.

PSU4ME · 01-31-2004, 09:24 PM

I have 4 fish now.....2 clowns a royal gramma and a hawk. Going to fish out with a flame angel and a tang or so.

Thanks

Great advice caja, there is plenty of light from the tank for most shots. A detached flash is the way to go and how Travis gets those awesome photos.

What are your plans for stocking your tank PSU4ME?

PSU4ME · 01-31-2004, 09:58 PM

I am debating over that....i know i want a flame angel and i am wondering if i should go with 2 tangs or 3 or 1 for that matter. What do you think my limit is with all i have in there now?

Montanareefer · 01-31-2004, 10:04 PM

One tang for the 90 would be enough as they require alot of swim space! Very nice reef!

[b]Really depends on your sytems ability to perforn denitrification and Dissolved Organic Compound removal. Two of the same sized tanks with different waste processing/removal capacities can accomodate different bioloads.

How much LR, skimming capacity, cleaning crew, sump, refugium, mechanical filtration, etc. do you have? How long has your tank been set-up? Are you anticipating a full blown reef or FOWLR?

The general rule of thumb is 1"of mature fish, not the cute little juveniles in the LFS tank, per 5 gallons. Simple math says that you can have 18" of fish. There is a pretty good safety factor in that guideline. One tang can range between 8" -15" depending on the species.

Lighting will determine what types of corals you can keep.

Looking good! Is there anyway that you can get some close ups of the corals? At least I think I see a couple on the right?

You have done a fine job! Looking forward to seeing it progress in the future!
