Today I did a bit of work, cleaned the GHA up from the bad RO water I got from a lfs (got my RO/DI unit ordered now), cleaned out my reactor and replaced my chemi-pure elite and purigen. Also grabbed a few frags from Tony (Grimreefer on DFWMAS)... of course they were more like mini-colonies. Tony always exceeds expectations... always. Really loving the tank... and I'm starting to truly run out of room. I keep saying I'm out of space, but I never truly am. I'm guessing I could fit a few more in there. :-)
I purchased an MP10ES today, should have it going on the tank end of next week. Will also be getting in two part and starting to dose that. My cal/alk consumption is just too much for my water changes.
Took some pics. Enjoy.
First of all, Full Tank Shot - The Duncan wouldn't open up. I waited for awhile and it just wouldn't open for those 30 minutes while I had the camera.
I thought this was an interesting view of the tank, I took it while adjusting the settings of the camera to the tank. Came out nice! :-)
My Maxi-Mini Carpet Anemone - I hate the things I've lost to this guy (two anemone crabs & my barber pole shrimp goby named Lefty) but it's totally worth it. It's the absolute centerpiece of this tank when viewing in person. It doesn't look as great in the full tank shot pics for some reason.
My Derasa Clam - Still growing like a weed. Passed the Maxima Clam many times over!
Purple Acro that I picked up today from Tony (Grimreefer). He's calling this a frag! I'm thinking mini-colony. ;-)
Peach w/Green Polyp Milli I picked up from Tony today as well. Once again... great piece, good size. Love it! My favorite piece from today. :-)
Pink Birdsnest - Growing well. Looking great. Gotta get that piece of GHA out of it though. :x *mummbles about LFS selling crap RO water* New unit will be here in a couple of weeks. Thumbs up!
Sour Apple Birdsnest - I love the bright green tips on this guy... lights up from across the room under both whites and blues. Great piece.
