Going against my "presentation rules" meaning, ITS NOT CLEAN SO I SHOULDN'T SHOW IT

.

here are a few quick pics, its not too too bad, but it bothers the heck out of me when my tanks are not clean, tonight maybe, but tomorrow is tank day for me.....i will be back with some more and better pictures.

Just Look at these snowflakes, wow, you know especially if you followed my orignal snowflake colony rise and demise. and then 3 just POP up from nothing, many many moons after the first colony disappear. and now THIS:

*a good sign, pods in my pico already!!!!

Full Tank shot:

Top down, im gonna be changing the aquascape still:

If those are pods, then what do i have? your tank is so cool, it would make liek the perfect frag tank!

that is coming along really nicely! how has top off been for you? have you checked out how high the sg is after a day of evap?

tippMANn98 · 06-15-2008, 09:41 PM

well, in a week, there has been almost 0 evaporation. its strange. I did 1/2 gallon change on it yesterday. I am gonna be picky about what frags go into it. Im still stocking my 29 now that i have new T5s

Thanks for the compliments though, its coming along, slowly, but surely

I had to be so careful. I know as well as all of you the effects of a piece of sand stuck in an algae pad or magnet. The key is go slow. Im going to dread, if ever, when this tank gets coralline. It probably will not.

Great tank. I 'm about to order a Picotope (only because it's glass) for my office.

Will be checking back often.

that rock until my anger was out, no really though, I made 4 nice pieces of LR out of it. YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE the coralline growth in this little thing! WOW. I noticed the light had a lot of spillage:

, TIN FOIL. I made a really really simple reflector out of heavy duty tin foil. WORKS LIKE A CHAMP!!! I was like

when I saw the difference, it really saves a lot of light, and I angled the Ends to keep the light DOWNWARD.

I added the Trumpet shortly after if fell on the yuma in the 29. it seems to like it in here. There are 2 little shrooms on the side, 1 baby bubble, and one unknown baby, green button frag, those brown and orange zoas from kathy, and some HH clauvaria polyps sprouting up like CRAZY
