[Bmgrocks]

Yep no problems as of yet, sure a little scuffle but for now they are just clownin around

I think the Orange one is going to end up being female.

I really do Need to upgrade though....I hate these mis matched lights....

Lights on top of each other to show fixture detail

[toasty23]

nice keep on posting up dates.

[edwing206]

nice tank.
what lights are you going to upgrade to?

[Bmgrocks]

Coralife, I really like Their Products.......Makes a 30" Aqualight, which has 2 65" PC's that i'm intrested in getting. I want to get that one, and use it in conjunction with the Current Coralife Fixture I have now, to provide some 166w, because I feel like i may not have enough light for my Softies and Sps

Do you think that 130wPC would be enough for those corals???

[jamynsdad]

where's the sps?

[Bmgrocks]

Im Sorry I ment LPS

Looks good.. I thought about starting with a 29, too, but went with a 40-breeder. Everything looks healthy and happy in your set up!

Do your clowns go in the frogspawn?

[Bmgrocks]

hey ur in MD KJordan, whats ur fav..LFS,

No my clowns dont go into the Frogspawn as of yet. I am Hopeful that that Day will come.

There are alot of people whos clowns do host in frogspawn on this site

[nYgel]

I've had like 8 clowns (my lfs had some sucky clowns, constant death almost.... stopped buying from there) And all went to my frogspawn with in a few months, my current one won't, so I'm buying every other coral that they might host in. Looks nice, I'm probably going with one black and white clown too. I like it alot. the aquascaping isn't anything fancy.

[Bmgrocks]

no the aquascaping isn't anything fancy...

i plan on filling in some of the smaller crevaces with LR rubble and Corals.....so it will fill in, and hopefully look alittle better..

Remember good things take time, expecially in a reef aquarium..

[kjordan]

My favorite LFS in MD is Exotic Aquatics

[al aziz85]

looking good so far keep it up!

[Bmgrocks]

Hey any Ideas for other corals i could possibly stock it with, Suggestions to improve the looks, i think its kinda boring

[nYgel]

more archways, mushrooms, hammer maybe. leathers are cool, lights may not work for em though. shrooms are always cool though.
