My Tank

Rusty this is for you here is my old 55 and your old 90 ... my new 90 that is. Thought I would post a few pictures for you to see and also for Jeff (thanks for the lights again hope you get back into the hobby again soon)

It took me awhile had to replace only one of the bulk heads other than that lights I got on here from Jeff and the Tank was great. Took me a couple hours one night to plumb it all. Then the next day I took all my fish and rocks out of the 55 and most of my water we moved the 55 out of the way, put the 90 where the 55 was and then we started the transfer and filling up the new one.

After about 5 hours of making sure salinity and temp was OK in the tank and that the fish especially my linka star fish was acclimated enough I moved them all over. So from 12pm till 10pm was how long it took. So far everything is alive and well hippo tang, clown fish, naso blond tang, 3 cromises, royal grama and sixline are all alive and no corals are dead. Now if I could only get some more corals and rocks in there. Any one know or have som blue or purple corals they wouldnt mind fragging?(whether its acropora or zoanthids or anything)  Have a look at the pics thanks again guys.... oh and if you know anyone that wants to buy a 55 gallon tank with HOB overflow please let me know I need to get this thing outa here.

Here is the old 55 with the pc lights....



Setting up the new one....



Acclimating everything to make sure i didn't loose any fish at all!


Almost all cleared up....

That is looking good!

Wow its been almost 2 months since I have updated this! So here are some new pictues. I have gotten a ton of Zoas, and LR! Sorry the pictures aren't the best but Ill try to replace them with better pictures later.

And here is a new addition since I started this one. Its a 12 gallon nano. Ill try to find the pictures of what it looked like before. But here it is now.



And I now have a 29 gallon nano sitting in my garage waiting for the wife to give the ok to put it up!

I now have a 29 gallon nano as well (well ive had it since the swap meet) but just wanted to put a picture of the happy couple that resides in it (along with the dwarf lionfish) sorry its kinda a fuzzy I was going to take another one last night but my lights turned off. And no they did not come from the same tank when i got it, so its been interesting watching them fight and now get along. The Orange took dominance over the black! Poor thing is kinda beat up now but doing much better!

Me too. They are always a crowd pleaser as well - my daughter would kill me if I didn't have one . . . thanks Pixar!

Thanks downhill: It looks much better now almost all the hair algae that I got from someone else is all gone, and all the corals on the ground are on rocks now. I need to post some new pictures!

Boysty: Thanks! I understand why you miss it, its such a great tank! Did you ever sell your Red Sea?

Just like my brother said above (jwoo) thanks Pixar/disney for the clowns! I have 3 tanks and clowns in every one of them and my son is always asking were Dory is! Grrrrrr

Cool Butterfly.

It's looking great Jeremy!
