thanks,
itsthesong, about half the time my dejardini looks very washed out, I though mine was the only one.

running out of real estate.... nice...

rbaker · 07/15/2007, 09:39 AM

Very nice... Have you had any problems with the Green Bird Wrasse in your reef?

atzak · 07/15/2007, 09:41 AM

the bird wrasse has been fine, I have no shrimp or hermits, but with snails, clams, and corals he's been fine. The pink face on the other hand, began eating the clams after these pictures were taken, but he also eats monti nudis

atzak · 07/15/2007, 04:02 PM

bebo, there's always room for one more

crunk · 07/15/2007, 04:32 PM

very pretty tank. i love how your fish arent shy at all

atzak · 07/15/2007, 05:43 PM

They're not shy at all, if the bird wrasse gets hungry, he'll spit water at you

brccoins · 07/15/2007, 06:43 PM

Incredible! What kind of sand is that?

atzak · 07/16/2007, 06:48 AM

it's aragonite, In my old tank, I used a plenum, so when I set up this tank, I just used the old substrate I had.

cato · 07/16/2007, 08:47 AM

Very cool tank!

atzak · 07/16/2007, 05:59 PM

thanks

scubajsm · 07/16/2007, 06:50 PM

Your tank looks awesome

Love the baby fungia's, they are so cute. I really like the diversity in the tank!

atzak · 07/17/2007, 07:10 AM

scubajism, the fungias are out of control. I tried an experiment I read about. I scraped a screwdriver from the center of the mother fungia to the outside. I thought the tissue would only die where I scraped it, but basically, the whole thing died. I left the skeleton in the tank and about 6 weeks later the babies started popping up. It's produced at least 50 so far and still going.

atzak · 07/17/2007, 07:14 AM

here's a shot after the scrape(I wish I had dated these)

here's when they first started

the other day

cfarrow2 · 07/17/2007, 08:55 AM

Beautiful tank. Does that Linkia give any of your button polyps a hard time? Btw, easy on the smokers!

skeeter-doc · 07/17/2007, 09:01 AM

wow, great pics, what kind of lighting do you have? any special filtration secrets?

snslarison · 07/17/2007, 09:34 AM

Awesome! Love all the fish.

burton14e7 · 07/17/2007, 09:52 AM
