Aquaman's Nano Adventure

[aquaman3680]

Well hello all,

I Have had a 20 gallon tank that is plumbed in with my 90 gallon for quite some time now. Until recently the tank looked real bad and had hair algae everywhere. I recently got the tank drilled for an overflow and got it set up with some nice coral and fish! The tank looks pretty awesome after some TLC, so I wanted to share some pictures!

Enjoy the pictures!

Matt I feel confident in saying...



You've GREATLY understated how AWESOME your tank looks!! Good work and GREAT pics!! MAybe some more pics and details about each of your corals in there. What type of lights and flow?

 

[vdituri]

Dang! Thats a 20?
Nice looking setup man.
Keep up the stellar work.

 

[kathywithbirds]

That is indeed awesome. So what'd you do? Rent out a tang from the 90?

You have a few things I don't know what they are. I see blastos, but what are the other ric/acan lookin' things?

 

[aquaman3680]

Al- As far as corals go I have an Anchor or Hammer, A pink tip torch, a small green bubble tip anemone, some RPE's- red people eaters, several acanthstrea all lords, a green kenya tree, several chalices and assorted zoos. For lights I have a Current Nova Extreme with 4 x 24 watt T-5's, for flow I have a maxi jet 600 with a hydor rotator thing.

Victor- Thanks for the compliment! This is actually a 100 gallon tank . LOL j/k

Kathy- There is a blastomussa welsi, and a blastomussa merletti in there. There is also acans, but no rics at this point. I also have a rather large martain moon favia. I didnt borrow one from the 90 I bought a new one. I know the tanks too small but i dunno what else I could do. I bought a very small 1" purple tang. He picks like crazy and looks great!

I can hear the tang police coming to get me now!!

 

[BigAl07]

Well it looks SWEET man! You're doing something right my friend!!

What are the ones in the very LAST pic (right above "Enjoy the pictures")? I would REALLY like a frag *hint hint... nudge nudge*

 

[BigAl07]

I can hear the tang police coming to get me now!!

:LOL: I wasn't gonna "Call you out on that one" since you mentioned it was tiny and I am SURE you're gonna put it into a much larger tank as it grows (and quickly too). Right? *waves the police off for a moment*

 

[aquaman3680]

They are called goochers. I had them in the 90 under the halides and they were kinda brownish and I put them in the 20 and now they have shown their true colors!

[althea2you]

[aquaman3680]

[Techno-Vicki]

Matt you are the man!!!! (even though you are in your teens Hey your camera work is awesome as always, your tank is impecable, and your acan is to die for. Want to swap acan frags???? Seriously.....

Oh, one more thing, could you tell me your get-around for the 500 pix rule? Thanks. When are you coming into town?

 

[aquaman3680]

Vicki- Thanks for the compliments! All my acans are very samm. I really cant wait until they grow out! What do you mean by "get-around for the 500 pix rule?" I will be in town early summer, I am staying with bryan again so it should be a good time.

Vicki, he's not really getting around it but he's posting his pics to Photobucket and merely linking to it. Hope that helps.

Matt! most excellent! misdirection and trickery are all good and it must free up lots of time

 

[aquaman3680]

Thanks Al, for clearing it up!
Sasquach, thanks as well!

Thought I would share a pic of the tank a month or so ago.

quite the difference. Also the algae isnt showing too much there but it got way worse!

Matt

 

[aquaman3680]

I have recently added a couple corals and thought I would post some more pics!

Rescue coral!

Again, BEAUTIFUL!!! What a cool fish! Now, photobucket? How do you do it and not have a link. I know, probably an easy question. But....
