Tank Entry

I'm folding laundry while watching tv when suddenly I hear some type of rumbling sound. Quickly pausing the show, i tried to ascertain the source of the noise, but none of the pumps sounded abnormal. I head over to the other end of the tank to check the Vortech pumps and it does sound like one is louder than expected, but not the noise I heard at first. As I peer into the dark reef, I see my red serpent starfish heading away like a wounded animal, pulling itself across the sand with four legs. ...

Today, my tank turns five months old.

I discovered my 280g was leaking. Two days later, on the Fourth of July, it was taken down. A year later, my system is taking off in the right direction. The tank is just shy of five months old. Last night after the lights were out, I took a few pictures of the corals while they were feeding.

I'm sure you've been wishing I would post some tank stuff again, and quit with the Swiss stuff, but the beauty of this being my blog is that I can talk about whatever I like as much as I like. hehehe

Still, for today here's more eye candy from my reef.

These are all new frags that I put in my Frag Tank. The first is a Blasto with some Cyphastrea near the lower right base.

I really like LPS corals and find their look to be both fluid and colorful under the right lighting. The bommie section of my tank has a variety of LPS, and when the MH turns off over them, the adjacent MH (to their left) coupled with the VHO actinics gives them an interesting glow every evening from 7pm forward.



Here they are under actinics only
