puttputt Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 For those of you who dont frequent the other site.... Skippy came over on Sunday, and he took this shot, which although a bit blurry, is the best FTS I've seen of my tank, showing the colours well...... Some interesting (to me anyway ) changes in my tank lately. I believe the rocks have finally stopped leaching, and its finally starting to mature. I believe nutrients have dropped to very low, as my halimedia has stopped growing, the caulpera in the ref died 2 days ago (ran out of gas) and all cyno has completely gone. Coraline really kicked into gear, and colours in acros improved..... BUT, time to be very careful. You can see the effects on the corals, some like acros like it, others like zenia dont. I will need to ensure plenty of food is fed, for both the corals and fish. An interesting time. _________________ Nothing beats a fine SPS tank.

wasp Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 What is your ser nam (starting with u & ending with e)! I will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Francis52... It is a pretty good deal If I may say so myself, because it includes pretty much a full pack of salifert energy food (worth $50), a pretty full bottle of reef solutions ($60) and about $100 worth of other additives... And a four stage RODI. It includes everthing but my blue linckia. Sorry for the Threadjack PP, Back on topic now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 There are 18 watchers though I'm one of them! Unfortunately I don't have that much money to blow on a tank right now (well I do as we sold out car, but we kinda need to buy a new car!).
