awesome pics. that clown has a look like you caught him by surprise (close the door! close the door!). new cameras are tons of fun. i got mine a few years ago and ive outgrown it. i want to get a nice digital slr, but i dont have the money to spend on it since a certain fishtank has been eating all of my money *ahem* *glares menacingly at fishies*

I love that Achilles tang!! They are awesome fish! Tank looks great! What kind of lights do you have on there?

Mr Bojangles · 02-01-2007, 07:03 PM

Yes cameras are fun! I just have a Casio exilim pocket camera for point and shoot type pics

Well I have more! In February 2006 I added a remote deep sand bed to help lower my nitrates and put my Cal reactor and Co2 tank under stand. I also got rid of the frag tank since I was keeping everything in the main tank to watch grow.

In May of 2006 things were good, all I lost was my Achilles tang and a Midas blenny, but all was looking good.

My little green nepithelia that I have had for 3 years and has had up to the point very slow growth

Baby green toadstool

Ok I am almost done! Soon there will be new pics and full specs!

October 2006 pics............

one of my only casualties was a large pavona cup, but the frags I have now are growing back...

My baby.........

Mr Bojangles · 02-01-2007, 07:43 PM

NOW! I am getting there!

Here is a pic of my finished mushroom hell! I tried everything to get rid of them, hot RO water, kalk past, hot RO/kalk paste, shade, everything! So I managed to get the whole rock out and bring it to the LFS, I was amazed it didn't even last a whole day in the shop! But I am glad its gone it was taking up valuable frag space.

Now this is my recently modded ( I cant have anything unmodded) reef octopus NW-200 skimmer with a gate valve mod done to it.

Here is the tank it is going into, a 25g with a baffle height of 9 inches for the skimmer recommended by the manufacturer. I have a bulkhead I put in for the drain to my main sump. (side note: you can see the 75g behind the dog)

Here is the messy side where the 25g is going to go, I had to raise the ballast and you can see the mag9 that I have plumbed externally. I also Added a small ball valve to feed the cal reactor since the rio I have was of course adding more heat and didn't make enough pressure to keep a constant drip rate.

Great... love your hammer too!

lgerold · 02-01-2007, 08:28 PM

Beautiful corals. I bought a frag of some green toadstool from Trident last time I was down there. It looks just like yours but smaller

My favorite is the bouquet of electrical cords and drain pipes!

I appreciate seeing the back stage, it makes me feel better about my madness.
Great chronicle thread, I enjoy it very much. Keep it coming!

Mr Bojangles · 02-02-2007, 04:32 PM

woodstock, I got mine from Trident too! Mine was very tine, about the size of a quarter, now it is alot bigger than the pic.

Dentoid, I like my spaghetti, I try not to touch it and I like to feed stuff through it

Mr Bojangles · 02-02-2007, 08:21 PM

well with the addition of the skimmer and removing the other pumps, my temp is at 81.2! It shouldn't get much higher than that, I hope

Mr Bojangles · 02-20-2007, 09:15 PM

well the computer is up and running! I am still working out the bugs out and I hope to take some pic tomorrow when the tank clears, just did a water change. Here are some behind the tank shots............
