Falling star

Looking Good

The tank is looking really nice today. The new lights are really making the corals happy. Everything did well in the move to the new tank and have opened up nicely. The fish all seem happy and are eating well. Checked my water and everything is looking like it should.

Here are some photos of the new tank. See more by clicking on the link to my photo page on the left of the page.

New Tank!!

I have set up my new tank. It is really amazing and I am much happier with this tank compared to the old ones. This one is an 80 gallon half circle made by Oceanic. I have a cabinet and hood as well as a sump and some new lighting. I will be posting some more info and some photos of the tank shortly.

This is fun

A new era...

I have been lucky enough to be upgrading my set-up! I have purchased a new 76 gallon half-circle Oceanic tank. This baby is amazing! I got an amazing deal from someone on Michigan Reefers. He is upgrading to a 200 gallon in wall tank and no longer needs this tank.

Here is a link to the thread about the tank as well as a picture. I am getting the stand, tank, canopy, sump, plumbing, and pumps from him. He will be emptying out his corals (which look amazing) and will have the tank ready for pick-up on Sunday. I will be sure to take lots of photos of the new set-up as I put it all together.

The future of the reef

Stay tuned for some possible news about the future of the reef!

Bad Luck and good news

I have had a string of bad luck lately. First my urchin and cleaner shrimps died due to me over salting my water change. I also bleached out a couple of corals. My fault and it is a bummer. Then one of my pumps sucked in my Kole tang and it died. I tried a blue tang (dory) same problem after 30 min in the tank...doh!

The good news is the other guys are all doing well. The two clowns are getting along great and the GSM clown is getting big! I have a coral banded shrimp and some nice new corals and a new light fixture.

All in all things are going well. I know where some of the problems were coming from and have fixed them.

New Photos!!

It has been a while (again) but I have posted new pictures of the tank on the link to the left. Let me know what you think.

It's back...

So about 2 months back I pulled out my feather duster. The butterfly was picking at it and I was going to take it to the fish shop for a trade. Well in trying to remove it I tore it in half and then had to pull it out and made a real mess. Well last night I was looking over the tank and noticed the feather duster is still there. It is small but growing and has a real nice feather. It is in its own little cave and the butterfly seems to be leaving it alone. I will try to post a picture but it is hard to get a good one.

New Fish

I have added a new fish. It is a foxface. This is a great fish I picked up from a fellow reefer. He had an overload of tanks and was clearing out his fish room. It is about 4" long and in great condition. The coolest part of this fish is his ability to change colors. When he is scared or stressed he becomes spotted and hides. He plays dead really well! I have added a link to a description on the fish list. I will also put up a picture soon.
