Tony,

The tank looks cool. Just have to sit back and let it fill in. I do have one question tho. To me the tank looked brighter with the blue background rather than the black. Is this just the pics?

Also you keep tearing that tank apart the MR Goon Squads gonna have to stop by and

lolz u guyz are nuts.... to me personally i really like this aquascape... its what i like :duh: u guys just sit back and watch the growth pics :biggrin:... but thanks for all the compliments and fruit stand statements :irked: :lol2: anyways its staying like this and its gonna look awesome once everything is grown out... i cant wait for that... it looks alot better in person there are many open spaces and caves for fish to hide and relax and there are many spaces to mount corals which was my objective :)...

thanks guyz... keep the comments coming...

ok guys heres a little update...

ive been working on a phosphate issue that was checked a couple of days ago with a hanna meter and it came up .40 :eek: so im doing water changes daily about 20- 30 gallons for the entire week.... and on the last day i will be doing a 40 gallon water change and i should be alot better then i was... im also running alot of phosban...

also in a week or 2 i should be getting my BM 250 and have that up and running...

just wanted to let everyone know what will be coming soon...

livestock to come... (i dont advise everyone to go out and buy 3 tangs for there tank... but there is a upgrade in the near future and by then they should be grown and ready to move, there also gonna be about 1-2" at most) :biggrin:

ok guys as of now im pretty sure phosphates is on the decline, i dont no what the level is for sure but after doing 80 gallons of water change in one week should of impacted it just a little bit... i also ran out of salt... i ordered another bucket of reef crystals and also ordered the 250 watt reeflux 10 k bulbs... and of course ordered more phosban..... :sigh:... im gonna check out my phosphates this week to see what kind of impact everything i have done so far has affected it... and will report back to you all...

my tank will be pristine and ready for the achilles tang :).....

pump up your ca , alk and mg, it will grow a bit faster ;)

yes it does grow slow.
here's a tip. put it somewhere it can get light and flow but you can't see it
a year from now you might have a mini colony you can take out and display ;)
