Update.

Several frags were removed and discarded because of flatworms or they were just plain ugly
I haven't had much time to tweak the water parameters. Just keeping a low nutrient low maintenance tank......and trying to stay pest free. I finally got rid of the monti eating nudis. What a pain in the arse!
For now I will just let things grow and tweak the colors later.
The bulb was changed from a Phoenix 14k to an Iwasaki 50k

Looking good Rich

 

[jackson6745]

Thanks Just glad to still be in the hobby. Even with only a nano, it's still fun.

 

[NYreefNoob]

hey rich what color does that bulb look like ? and how do you like it compared to the phoniex

 

[nanchil]

Very Nice tank...

 

[jackson6745]

Noob, the 50k appears brighter and whiter than the Phoenix. The Phoenix did make my colors pop more though. I've only been running the 50k for a little more than a week so I really haven't made my mind up about this bulb yet.

Rich that looks freakin hot!

 

[KathyC]

Very nice Rich!
How do you manage to keep the heat down in there with the 2 Tunze's and I imagine a skimmer hidden somewhere in the back?

 

[jackson6745]

Thanks Chief!

Kathy, I have no heat problems whatsoever with this tank. Actually it runs kind of cool at 76 degrees. The room is always kept cool. There is a deltec mce 600 hidden back there

 

[Wes]

lookin good bro

 

[ming]

You need a bigger skimmer! LOL
How are the frags I gave you? Hope they weren't the ugly ones.
Things looking good Rich

 

[KathyC]

Any updates (pics? ) with the new bulbs?

 

[jackson6745]

No updates Kathy. The tank looks like crap at the moment. Bulb is nice though

 

[h20 freak]

Gets one fish in 6 months and of course its a banggai:banghead:

Nice clean tank though, props.Love the rock work,Cant wait for pics.

 

[jackson6745]

I got that banggai 4 months ago before all this endangered stuff came about
I also have a flame hawk in there too
I just had knee surgery so tank maintenance is on the back burner for a while. Looks pretty bad at the moment but I will fix it soon.

Rich that stand is really nice. You built it yourself ? The craftmanship looks excellent. I like that add pull out, is it a shalow draw or shelf for testing ? Either way looks great. The rock work looks great too. I especialy like how you set the frags. All in all great job.
