cweber's nano starting life

[cweber]

Well i guess im a little late starting this. I have my tank up and running for a while now. The cycle is completed and i have two snails and two hermits at the moment. I just got my reef test kit and here are some of the test results.

ph-8.1
ammon-0
trite-0
trate-10 or 15
calcium-480
phos-0
kh-13

I will be getting some frags about wednesday. I will post pics when they arrive and are acclimated. Plans for fish are a little different from most choices. A pair of clown fish:). Hopefully the end of the month.

[cweber]

Update! Most of the corals have opened up, and ive rescaped abit. I added two pounds of LR ruble to the fuge. Here are my readings.

ph-8.1
amon-0
tirtes-0
trates-10
calc-480
phos-0
kh-12

I will take some pics when the wife gets home this evening.

[cweber]

I have to get batteries for the camera. Sorry!

[cweber]

Ok i tryed to take pics and got three before the batteries went dead again. Also i recieved a refractometer, marine snow, fish food, and a corallife power strip.

Here are my fuzzy pics.

A new camera is in the future!

[stevo4535]

I think I have similar zoos, they seem to grow pretty fast.

[cweber]

Im hoping so! More than anything im waiting for them to attach to their rocks. My hermies keep knocking them over. :(

[jojo22]

Use a little super glue to hold them in place.

[cweber]

I lost a few of the green ones i was telling you about, and the finger leather still hasnt opened up. Any suggestions?

[jojo22]

The ones you lost where off the big frag right??? I would put the finger leather under the halide the other half is doing great there.

[cweber]

Yes it was off of the one you said grew so fast.

The other half of what?

[jojo22]

The other part of the leather is doing fine, it is pretty much right under the halide

[cweber]

The part you have or the part of mine in the pic? Sorry im a little slow today.

[jojo22]

The leather that I kept is doing good under the halide.

[cweber]

Cool, Im still waiting for mine, cant wait!

[jojo22]

Waiting for what??

[cweber]

Waiting for the finger leather to open.

[cweber]

Im sure everyone would like to see some pics. These are the only ones that turned out good. I used my sis's camera this time.

My tongue coral (probly my favorite)

I really like how you've curved the rocks into a "C" shape... I don't think I've seen a pic of a tank aquacaped that way! It's very unique and quite attractive! :)

[cweber]

Thank you very much. I want to add a few more pieces of rock. I cant wait to see updates of your 90.

[Sweetpea]

You're welcome! My update is up - minus pics...

[cweber]

I was playin with the camera some more. Looks like some of the shots are gettin better.

[cweber]

Second pic up, notice the bottom of the right polyp, Its a baby!

I think i might sell the 55 gallon so i can get some more frags and other stuff.

[hummer]

keep the 55 so you can hold more frags ....hehe

thats a cool goby in the pic and zoos too :):)

[cweber]

Thanks hummer! Ive thought about it but dont have the money to start the 55 as SW. I would rather save up to start the 125. I think abour the middle of august, im going to order a few more and call it good and let the ones in the tank grow out. I have 9 right now, I hope for 15-20, and maybe a fish or two more.

[hummer]

sounds like a plan........

[cweber]

Here are some updated pics of my ten gallon. I rescaped th rocks and added my two new corals i traded from a member of the club.

They're not the best pics in the world but i do what i can with what i got.

[cweber]

The first pic are 4 quarter sized toadstools and the second is red with blue spot mushrooms. There are about 10 shrooms on the rock. The pink palys in the pic with the toadstool, are growing one poylp a week now. Thats about all thats changed.

[cweber]
