One year anniversary and Take down (PICS)

dancewithethan · 05/06/2009, 10:15 PM

Well, it has been one year now since my tank is up and running. However, Iâ€™m moving locally and will be taking this tank down and will be upgrading to 120 G. Before I do, I would like to post this thread for everyone to see my progress. I have been running softy and fish only tank for about 3 years and decided to give SPS a try. I have to say, I would never go back.

Specs:
Tank ~50 G
Lights 2x36 T5 plus 1x400 MH (AC bulb)
Lots of water movements by 1 tunze nano, tunze wavebox, and MP40.

I know, someone will eventually ask for this FTS so here it is.

Current

Growth shorts comparison

Lastly these are some pictures I like

Thanks Adrienne,

I have one Sally lightfoot, but she did not survive. maybe there is not enough algae for her in the tank.
