With all the election drama. . . I should post updates on our 90gal tank. Sorry for the delay, I just uploaded the photos last night and can sit down to post updated shots.
First off, we set the tank up on 10/27/07 after like a year of planning. Here's the full tank back then:
And here's a tank shot today:
The hippos are getting huge!!! They're fatties for sure! I think the plan is to get one them out since both of them will out grown the tank for sure.
But I can't help but be attached to them.
I've had corals die and survive really well.
The one thing I'm really proud of it how purple it is. I don't know why. . but's it's hella purple and I don't dose anything for it. I think it's got something to do with flow and how much natural sunlight it gets in the morning.
Remember the happy cloud and happy tree inspired by Bob Ross?
Well today you can't even tell it's there:
Remember the green dinosaur?
Lost the zoo on his head. . . but he's not green anymore. There's so much coraline algae on him that he doesn't even move his jaw anymore:
He loves to munch on rics though. . .
And the blue zoos have been slow growers but at least they haven't died:
Palys have been doing awesome in the tank. . .
Even the brown ones that I try so hard not to have. . .
I've lost the pink fungia I got from Debbie and Jeff
But that doesn't mean I don't have a bunch:
I got the purple one from Cody and it's huge now next to the huge one that started out from Connie & Teresa's Swamp Meet:
I've got a family of the green fungias. I'm letting them grow out before plunking them and posting them on the board:
When I started the hobby almost 3yrs ago, I got a frag from Adam, pulsating sinularia and now it's the biggest coral in my tank:
I try to layer the floor with zoos and I don't know if I'm doing a good job of it:
Here's the ones I got from Crystal:
From Jeff & Debbie:
From Teresa:
One of my favorite corals are my duncans. I started with one head from the Aquarium and now there much be at least 6+. I'm hoping to get them as big as Tileman's colony. .
Favorite shot of the night of a hermit staring me down:
There's still a ton of little projects I want to do for the tank.
- I need to get my phophates under control, so putting a permanate phosban remover on the tank.
- I want to run active carbon on there. I'll need to figure out how where to install it since I have a limited amount of space under the tank.
- RO/DI unit install because I'm tired of running to the store for water.
- Install a new pump on my ASM skimmer. . . the Rio I have on it sucks big donkey butt.
- Get a moonlight system on there. With the new reflectors there really limited amount of room under the canopy
That's all I can think of. . . .
I 
my tank!!!
