Absolutely awesome Robert, great work!

Sorry to hear about your losses Robert. If its any consolation, your tank looks great. It will only be a matter of time before those corals all grow in and the tank is truly eye catching. Love the hammer BTW.

Your tank looks great! Sorry for the problems you had with some of your fish and corals.

Just curious, but, does your dottyback throw sand around?

cheeks69 · 04-05-2005, 06:16 PM

Thanks y'all

Forgot to mention that I also lost all my corraline growth on the glass, for some reason my alk went to 14dKH and my cal dropped to the low 300's so I decided to stop using B-Ionic 2 part, it was just too difficult to figure out what to add and the constant testing just annoyed me so decided to go with Kalk drip and Turbo Calcium when necessary and the levels have been rock solid since then.

Gina the Dottyback does do that occasionally and I really want to get rid of him, he was a big mistake adding to the tank, I actually did it because I wanted more aggressive fish to deal with the Tang but he was removed and now I'm stuck with the dottyback.

It's so difficult to take macro's of the SPS since the tank is so wide and the SPS are in the back part of the tank so I decided to take a top shot so you can see the growth at least on the Caps I got from BrianE.

Not a good pic but you can see how they've encrusted the rock and have grown considerably from small frags.

Craig Manoukian · 04-06-2005, 01:09 AM

Fabulous shots Robert. Good luck getting your tank water back in balance and on dealing with the Dottyback!

Gina · 04-06-2005, 05:44 AM

Nice shots! I see a fish peeking out on the R of the zoa shot!
Have to agree about the Dottyback! We have an Orchid Dottyback. We've had her/him now for about 2 years and the biggest problem is throwing out sand! I can't have any corals on the bottom or even an inch or two up on the rocks because of it. It's a cool fish but, can't say I'd ever get another one!!

Brucey · 04-06-2005, 07:10 AM

Hey Rob . . . . . awsome tank dood. It looks fantastic, and although the overhead shot loses the detail through the surface water, i kinda like it. Just an unusual shot to take. I might turn all my circulation off and try a few shots too. Never had a dottyback matey, but from what Gina says, it might be easier to go BB than to deal with the little fella's habits. The price we sometimes pay for a fish eh. Try losing 120 crabs to a Birdmouth Wrasse. Now there is a lesson only learnt once.

Awesome tank buddy, I love the wrasses and that purple tipped acro (or is it a tri-tip?). I have gotten to were I really like what you can do with a cube, and yours looks great!

Take er easy

Now that's what I call an appetite, can't believe he wiped them all out. What do you use for a cleanup crew ?

It's a purple tip but unfortunately the pic doesn't do it justice the purple is just not as vivid in the pic guess I have to play a little more with the camera
