Got some more pics. Just fed the tank so there are cyclopeeze floating around.

My first frag: (just glad I didn't destroy it while slicing)

Great tank!!! So all of these pics thus far are with stock lighting? If so it looks great, all corals healthy? One of the best aio's I have seen!

Bongo Shrimp · 09-15-2009, 11:20 PM

So the lights are t5s soon to be supplemented with LEDs and thanks for the complement.

Bongo Shrimp · 11-01-2009, 09:22 PM

Here's the latest: I will be 100% LED soon! Bye Bye T5s.

star still looks great, envious!

Bongo Shrimp · 11-02-2009, 12:50 AM

About the star, I would not have bought him if I had not known he had already lived for 1.5 years in captivity before I got my hands on him and what he eats. I still do NOT recommend anyone just buy one out of the blue.

you got some nice stuff in there...

your tank has a very exotic otherwordly kind of look to it, which is what i like... i think you could do some aquascaping though, and clean up the sand a little and it has potential for a show quality tank once those corals grow out a little.

looks great tho.

JeffreyLebowski · 11-02-2009, 04:07 PM

no worries, i just think it's beautiful

Bongo Shrimp · 11-07-2009, 12:10 PM

Yeah I've always wanted the sand to be a bit cleaner but hate stirring it up even a slight bit because it just makes a mess. Any good ideas as to how to clean it up and get it nice and white?

Here are some quick shots I took of my newest editions before I did a water change. I'll take some better ones later with a FTS because things are a bit different.
