My escape when i'm stressed

[tom619]

60g. very basic setup: display tank, sump, skimmer, filter sock. feed daily, wc weekly.
very basic corals. budget tank ^_^

This past year has been quite prosperous to me in terms of growth: I started with 1 Red bubble-tip anemone, now there's 4. a few frogspawn & hammer heads, now it's half a tank. The green leather was a quarter-coin size, now it's a soccer ball. and now today clownfish eggs?? it's so amazing to watch everything go off.

[NickSDC]

Holy branching hammers Tom! If I didn't know any better I'd say you have about 5lbs of rock in there. I like it!

[Jarederaj]

and i thought I had big corals lol. Nice job! Are you ever planning on upgrading or do you just sell you overgrowth?

[tom619]

aw thanks everyone! haha i'm not planning on upgrading or selling the overgrowth anytime soon because I'm not there yet. let's not count the eggs before they hatch lol but hopefully that's the case. ty

WOW!Simply amazing aquarium.
is there a build thread on this bad boy

[Jarederaj]

It might be just me but i love all the reflections of the corals on the top

[gemini]

amazing tank. What are you shooting with?

[tom619]

WOW!Simply amazing aquarium.

hey Jesse. no.. i'm sorry i did not take pictures of the build thread. the tank has been up for about a couple years in this new house. I've been reefing for about 5 years total.


It might be just me but i love all the reflections of the corals on the top
Jared, no it's not just you. it's me too haha, that's why i purposely lowered the camera to get the reflection....it makes my tank look bigger ^_^


and i thought I had big corals lol
awesome! My ideal nice tank is having only few types of corals but emphasizing on the quantity of each to fill up space. I don't like having a little bit of everything; it makes the tank look too busy. imo.


amazing tank. What are you shooting with?
Thank you. I have a Canon T2i

Hey Chris! small world! Yes I hang out with Steve/Wifey often and Kevin is my boy! The main factor for shooting your fishtank is your Tripod. that is a must! other than that, just play with the settings, i would increase ISO.


Great pics, nice tank!

Thanks Dave! that means a lot from you, coming from someone who I consider is an advance hobbyist. Yes the tangs get along great! all the fish are doing well together. something that is a big odd is that i have 3 clownfish and I've been trying to add a 4th for yearsss but always seemed to fail, so 3 it is LOL.


love that setup ! low maintanance coral and big full colonies! how many fish have the RBT nems gotten? beautiful tank
thanks! I have about 6. the RBT has not eaten any of my fish because I feed it regularly with a mixture of different meat (crossing my fingers). However I had a carpet nem a few years ago that gobbled all the tangs.
