75 gallon tank

Unfortunately, my 75 gallon build has stalled for much longer than I wanted...hopefully soon, hopefully. Until then, my little 29 is still plugging along and as the title says, it turns 4 years old this week (actually Sept 6). So I thought in the absence of any updates for the 75, I'd post some pics of the 29. Over the years, much has changed, recent rash of jumping fish, hair algae outbreak that either overgrew and choked out my zoa garden (or maybe more likely, the high nutrients that fed the hair algae, killed the zoas), and lots of learning along the way.

FTS...maybe doesn't look like much compared to many, but up close there's more color than this pic indicates.



Lots of light pastel colors in the coralline algae.



Mushroom


Ricordeas





And finally the sole surviving fish: I call it Fred Fish, my wife being slightly more artsy in her naming schemes calls is Sunrise


I'm aware that it's blurry, and I apologize. This fish constantly moves, so this is the best out of about 40.

Anyway, it's been an interesting journey. Being that each one of those rics started as a single head, maybe I've got growing/providing them with a good habitat down now. If I can just have as much luck with zoas and sps in the 75 (assuming I ever get to finish it), I'll be pretty happy in another 4 years. ;-)
