Kazzy's 46 bowfront

My bow is already well on its way, considering it's almost 2 years and 3 months old, but I might as well start documenting now! Here's a recent tank shot:

My Maroon female and Ocellaris male:


My Mandarin:

My fire shrimp and tiger serpent star who always hang out together:

My deceased Sixline Wrasse(this was the only good pic I ever got of him):

My baby eibli mimic tang:

I will write down all the equipment names and all that boring stuff later and post it here. I will probably have some more pictures later too!

Re: Kazzy's 46 bowfront

I am seriously impressed.
Tank looks great, but anyone who can keep another clown in the same tank as a maroon successfully is seriously impressive.

Re: Kazzy's 46 bowfront

Thanks to all of you! Lc, while I am still not sure how it happened exactly, I think the Maroon was a male when we got it and our Ocellaris was just a baby, probably still unsexed, so that's probably how they ended up mated. My fingers are still crossed for eggs, if only to just know I got them to breed.
More pics:
This is my Ocellaris when he was deciding whether or not the green shrooms were good enough to host.

What do you all think about me trying to frag my rics? You guys think I should try it?

Re: Kazzy's 46 bowfront

Hey little buddy, this stuff is not boring, it's crucial. Some people like the mechanics better than the husbandry! I have to admit the fish are prettier than the equipment.

Re: Kazzy's 46 bowfront

NEW CORALS!!
My dad was finally in a buying mood when we headed to the LFS and we left 15 minutes after closing(I am good friends with the owner on a local forum) out the back door with a 4 almost 5 headed hammer(normal glowy green and brown coloration) and 3-4 stalks of lavender finger leather coral. We found stable places for them in our rockwork and I took pics of the new arrivals which will hopefully be uploaded tomorrow! The hammer is already perking up and will probably be fully extended before lights out!
