New Tank Update

bassking16 · 02/08/2010, 07:42 AM

Hi All,

Just showing off a little here. I started a 25g bowfront back around Christmas time since my primary display tank was getting too full.

Besides, I am diving into the world of SPS on my primary tank, so I moved most of my LPS and Softies over to the new tank.
I think it turned out pretty nice so far. Hopefully everything will take hold and start growing here pretty soon. Fortunately, I had zero losses during the transfers. Yee Haw!!!

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Bassking

The sand was actually from my friends established tank, and the rock was mostly from my LFS, along with a few small pieces from my other tank.

There was a real small cycle that only lasted about a week and a half, two weeks. My nitrates and amonia went up just a touch, and came right back down to zero in a couple days. Since Jan 9th, I've been adding the live stock slowly.

Thanks for the compliments.

Looks good...it'll only get better with age...once that rock purples up!
