Gozers 75 Salt
Well I thought I'd finally get my 55 in here on the Members Tanks area. It's been a long road but it's finally looking good. Have a couple patches of this or that I'd like to eliminate, but I've accepted that I can't get rid of it all. (Stupid Caulerpa and red slime. Oh and hair algea) Hope you like the photos. 
1-19-08 Upgraded to 75 Gallons.

Theres SO much life going on in there. Sometimes I'm amazed at how many little creatures hitched their way on those rocks. I like the diversity.

Looking really good ! How old is the tank now ? Your corals look great. Do you think the new lights are the main reason ? |

WOW Gozer..
I just love looking at SW tanks. Yours is really really great looking!
Of course, I love the fish in SW tanks firstly.. but wow.. I have really come to appreciate all that live coral...etc etc in those tanks. Very beautiful!
Wish I could have a SW tank too, but financially its just not possible for me.
Thanks for the photos!
ohh btw.. what are the fish in the photos? Is that really a purple one or is that from the lights? gorgeous!!!

Well, this tank has been through an interesting life. Going from fresh to brackish and finally full salt. I was trying to keep a couple Columbian Sharks. They got too big, one of the jumped out and the other was getting really tore up not having enough room. So, I gave the remaining shark to an LFS and started a normal marine tank. It's been going full salt for about a year. It got torn apart a couple months ago to remove a nasty little wrasse I had to give away. So, this setup is about 10 months old.
I actually got the corals after I already had the light. My LFS got in some clumps with 4 corals on one rock. When she was putting them in a few polyps fell off. I got 3 tiny clumps for 5 bucks. Each one was about 4 or 5 polyps. They weren't attached to anything but a little gravel. I've got them about a month or so ago and they are pretty well attached to the rock. They look SO much better than whats left at the store too. They are set prettty high in the tank so they get a good bit of light.
Ah yes I meant to put names on the post. Here they are:
The Clown is a Female Tomato CLown (A. frenatus) Sold to me as a Maroon Clown, though I knew better lol
The purple one is a Purple Pseudochromis. Sold to me as a strawberry basslet, and yes he really is that purple. More of a Pinkle. He is VERY purple in the actinic lights.
Not sure if I put any pictures of the Blue/Green Chromis. They're hard to get a good shot of. I'll see if I can get one up if I haven't already.

Well I'm acclimating a nice Fox Coral LPS right now. Took a trip to the good LFS 70 miles away. It looked great in the store and I think I have a spot picked out for it. I'll get some pics when they open up. Just excited and had to tell people that might also be excited for me lol. No fish hobby friends near me. lol Anyway back to acclimation.
