That is one sweet tank! VERY NICE job on the stand! I wish I had carpentry skills like that.

SaltwaterChris · 08/03/2008, 11:28 AM

Thanks.Tanks not looking to hot right now I've got a little algae groth every were

neuwave · 08/09/2008, 12:01 PM

carfeul of thoose shrimp, they are actually more like lobsters and see them be harmless in a tank for long time and then use thoose claws to rip apart their roommates. Still a nice looking tank.

SaltwaterChris · 08/24/2008, 01:16 PM

Not a whole lot going on whright now have alittle of an alge problem and finding time to fix it and not alot of $ in the tank budget

but I hope soon I'll be able to get a new fish and the tank looking good again.

SaltwaterChris · 12/18/2008, 12:48 PM

Well my tank has no fish my last one died so now I just have a shrimp and alge but on a liter note my RBTA split so I have 2 now

SaltwaterChris · 01/13/2009, 06:38 PM

Well I had a major algae break out but it's finally getting under control so I though I would post a pic It looks a little differant I've had to take everything out lots of times to scrub alge off of the rocks and thing dieing so now there is less things and 0 fish,I'm down to 1 shrimp. Hopfully soon I can put some more fish and corals in it, funds permiting if you know what I mean

SaltwaterChris · 05/20/2009, 09:42 AM

SaltwaterChris · 06/08/2009, 12:34 PM

Tank is about 2 years old I'm still battling a little algae but for the most part it stays on the back.My red mushrooms gro like crazy so I have to take a few out every couple of weeks.The RBTA when open is about 7 inches across and great color.Hpe to get some more crab for the algae but my lawnmower blennie is making a small dent.Thanks for looking

anentwich · 06/08/2009, 08:25 PM

The tank looks awesome. The great thing about this hobby is that you can start over and try something new after things go array. Love the rock work!

EWC88 · 06/08/2009, 09:46 PM

What kind of fish is that pink and yellow one? Very gorgeous tank

SaltwaterChris · 06/09/2009, 09:09 AM

Thanks for the coments EWC88 it is a diadem dottyback.

JLopez · 06/09/2009, 06:32 PM

diadema dottyback. nice tank chris, have you tested for phosphates? that could be your problem with the algae.

SaltwaterChris · 08/16/2009, 06:32 PM

Well bad news first I'm down to my pair of clowns and my yellow dottyback lost all the other fish and not to sure why which really ticted me off Now the really BAD NEWS A LEAK

Well not to bad my tank is leaking on the back wall that seperate the filter from the tank in the pump chamber it's loud and anoying

so I had to drain the whole tank so I can run a bead of silcon I'm going to put it on the back side so you can't see it hopefully it will work but got to have the tank empty for 2 days

Empty

Fish chilln in the cooler

SaltwaterChris · 08/18/2009, 10:17 AM

Putting everything back in tonight

ccLansman · 08/18/2009, 03:34 PM

how do you like that rotating thing on the return into the tank? I was thinking of getting it but i was worried the 350gph pump i have down in the back would cause water to blow up onto the lights.

SaltwaterChris · 08/18/2009, 07:45 PM

Iended up taking it off it kept falling out so I just took it out it worked whenit was on there though

SaltwaterChris · 06/02/2010, 09:46 AM

Well it's been a while so I figured I would give an update.I decided to take out the background it was a major source of my algae problem so I took that out.Then I basically lost everything again except the dotty back and most of my new corals are gone and the major thing that happened was my RBTA got caught in my power head and it destroyed him I had a little piece of him left and have been slowly nursing him back now it's about the size of a quarter.I did get a pair of clowns, one misbar and one black and a tail spot blennie so far they have been doing well.One thing I really hate about this hobby is you go and find something at a lfs and it really good looking and you get it home and you think to your self wow that really going to look good when it grow and then BOOM it's the first thing to die or get caught in a power head or a fish eats it I just got a mushroom that was purple and green and looked really awesome and it got caught in the power head because it didn't attach it self to a rock that just really ticks me off.anyway enough of me ranting here are some pics.

Thanks for looking.

romsoccer12 · 06/02/2010, 05:28 PM

i always loved the black and orange clown pairs. hope this works out for you. i wouldnt add anythin for a while if i were you, just get your tank really balanced. great looking tank and i love the rock work too. how did the jawfish keep dieing? they are my favorite fish, but i never had much luck with them

SaltwaterChris · 06/06/2010, 11:27 AM

Thanks romsoccer12 I don't they just end up dieing after a couple of days of having them.
