Great pics (and corals!). That Blasto is awesome.

Awesome job Scott!!! I think the only thing your tank needs now is coralline algae.

I can't believe that you have ReefScience so local. Oh well, that's what I get for living in the center of the country.

Scott, I can't believe your tank has only been up for a little more than a year, seems much older... You have to bring some frags to future CCRC meetings. I still have a jug of salt under my couch for ya.
Great job.
And not to pull this off topic, we are lucky to have someone in NC with the wholesale connections that chad at RS has. Doesn't happen much on the east coast.

Great job and photos Scott! Looks like your live rock really went wild, splitting like crazy and colonizing your tank like mad!

wooddood · 04-09-2004, 09:21 AM

good job scott your tank really looks great cograts bud.

ScottT1980 · 04-09-2004, 10:02 AM

Thanks everyone!

I am still not satisfied with the aquascaping. Everything looks a bit too cluttered and I am beginning to think of ways to open it up a bit more. Ah well, there is always something to do....

Mike, I will pick that salt up from you soon enough!

Take er easy

looks good Scott !

Wow! That's a LOT of Coralline! It's all over EVERYTHING! How do you do it? What do you maintain your Calc at?

ScottT1980 · 04-09-2004, 01:09 PM

I try to keep my calcium at 450 and it is really easy to maintain corraline when you have a softy dominated tank. Now that I have reintroduced some SPS, the growth has slowed (which is a good thing). Another things that helped is that I would buy a nice piece of show rock here and there at various LFS and these helped to seed the bulk of my rock.

Because of the way my tank is set up, it really is impossible to scrape the back and sides so I just let it go. Sometimes I will clear out little windows on the sides to get a little peek...

LOL Craig...I am pretty succesful with the LR propagation, mainly because it only requires a bit of plastic and an interest rate...

Thanks again guys
Scott T.
