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.
