I apologize for the large number of posts, photobucket keeps freezing on me and i have to restart it about every 3-4 pics

Mangodude · 06/14/2012, 05:33 PM

if alot of the pics look a lil cloudy i had just cleaned the tank and rake the sand. i'll try to get a better FTS tonight when things settle a lil more

jcoll · 06/14/2012, 06:17 PM

How do you get the pics so good with LEDs what cam you using?

Mangodude · 06/14/2012, 07:47 PM

Hey Jcoll, its a canon t1i (DSLR) with a 17-85 usm lens. White balance is set to 7000k. Could be a lil whiter but I aint complaining!

Mangodude · 08/18/2012, 01:04 PM

Redid the rock again.. Think i'm finally happy with it for a while. Its down to 6 pieces of rock. weighing about 40lbs total. i'm doing three islands.

FTS:

left side

middle

Right

the supposed-to-be-orange setosa

stepnic2 · 08/19/2012, 09:18 AM

Do you use a wet/dry for biological filtration? Doesn't seem like there's enough rock for that.

Mangodude · 08/19/2012, 09:27 AM

I have a bunch of rock in my sump?

i use a sock filter though..

stepnic2 · 08/19/2012, 09:29 AM

Lol, that'll do it!

Epic picture of hoevens

Tank looks flawless man!

Mangodude · 10/26/2012, 04:04 PM

Finally an update lol

I think i've determined my sand was leaching phosphates. So, picked up two buckets of medium grain white sand and swapped it. This should bring tank maitenence down a lot too as my sock won't constantly be clogged with the sugar sand.

Stock list is now:

Yellow tang
hoevans wrasse
yellow coris wrasse
blue damsel (still gotta catch him)
zebra dartfish
chromis
pink spotted goby

and rock placement has stayed the same

Great looking tank! I'm thinking of going this route with my new tank!
