kriswaters Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 (cheer)(dancing) It is hard to believe, but I have made it to the one year mark! It has been so rewarding to me. I love watching my tank grow, and I myself have grown in knowledge. I would like to thank everyone who has helped with this process! The tank is mostly soft corals, but I do have a few LPS thrown in for good measures! Everything has done great under the T-5 lighting. I have maintained my diligent husbandry, and it has certainly paid off! I thought I'd through in a few pics of before/now. Enjoy! Kris The beginning-a 10 year old (or older) 55 gallon Acrylic tank. Previously Fresh Water My DIY sump and plumbing First day with rock and water Before any livestock The diatom era! Fishy, fishy, fishy my first two! The start to corals/polyps Some prized pieces! About 4 months ago And today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 The Fox face mowed down and green plant life that existed in the tank! I wish my foxface would finish off the green turf algae that I have growing. He mows it down to about 1/8 inch, then leaves it to regrow. I want it gone! I also have a yellow tang that is starting to get into a "turf war" with the foxface. They are always near each other puffing and posturing. Why can't they just be friends.(peace) dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
