40 Gallon Reef

Ha okay. Let me go take some now.

Here they are! Okay i used the flash for all the fish so it wouldn't be blurry. But at least its not blurry. Going to try and get some of the blue damsels and the tank isn't as ugly as it looks in the pics. Oh and by the way the lighting set up is only temporary. Looking to get some in the next week or so.

Tank shots



Fish



and hermits!

Dont do full tank shots. They look horrible lol.

Hahaha. Super blurry right? I know.

On top of that. It also looks like your tank is in a really weird place for its size. So that dont help you any.

It's on a specially built counter designed to incorporate a sump and can be view from both sides.

Ah. I see. If it wasnt supposed to be like that id have to call you dumb, lol.

Hey, looks better than your tank at the moment. lol. Yeah once we get our softies and macros it will start to look better. A nicer camera would certainly help.

Yea. You got me all around on that post. Im not scared to admit it. But just remember: I got the pimping flower wallpaper with the posters that make me look psychotic.

Haha. Of course.

So all of our turbos died. We presume that we bought them dead . We really needed them. Ahh well they have got some astreas so we are going to pick some up soon.

COMPLETELY lost on what those are. But ok

Snails .

Oh ok. Yea...That sucks.

Yeah. But are scarlet hermit crabs is doing a good job. I think he is molting because he has been pretty reclusive lately.

Just a quick question, how are you supplumenting the iodine to them to help with molting?

Right now i'm not supplementing since they are all hitch hikers and they are doing well. Once i get my reef lobster i will start though.

Oh, I see. Tell me when you start so I can get some tips =)

I'm thinking about collecting some critters from the beach, and making something of my 10g tank.

Thats how i started a temperate reef. BTW this is a tropical thread.

I know, just thought I'd ask, didn't mean to bump your topic.

It's okay. Just making sure you knew.

Updates. Lost my scarlet hermit . But the wrasse is as fat as ever. He isn't shy at all. I guess once they get established they really do get established. Otherwise tank still looks the same. I am getting sponges and tunicates and the rocks now. Taro tree has started branching and more color on the LR. If i can get any good pictures i will post them tomorrow.

Awesome! Sorry 'bout your crab.

Yeah. Rearranged everything to. It's so hard to get good pictures!

You better get some anyway!

Okay. In about 30 minutes i should have at least a couple good ones.
