| tank looks good. I think some higher rock piles would be cool (just personal prefernece) and rock is expensive. Your corals look awsome. Id suggest maybe adding alittle more cleaners for a tank of that size. Its looking reall good, cant wait for you to share some of your knowledge in the salt section now that your here O yea what kinda of lighting do you have, looks like PC, like a coralife maybe? How many watts is it?

| looks great to me. i agree that the top of the tank looks a little empty and if you had all the money in the world i'd suggest making the rock piles a little taller, but live rock is expensive and think it looks pretty good now anyway.

| Looking good. I like how you made 2 separate rock piles, it looks like a canyon between 2 reefs. Where is the acro? It might not be to happy if its close to your soft corals and they could be hiting it with chemicals maybe.

| thanks for all your comments, I'm pretty new to all this, only set up the tank in May. Re the acropora - I may be wrong but I'd identified the yellow coral in pic 1 as that type. Actually he's not very happy, I take note of your comments re the proximity of the other soft corals - soon after introduction some of the branches became discolored and have remained so - perhaps my light is not powerful enough - I have 2 x 420 48 inch marine blue actinics and 2 x 14000k marine whites. Yes the fish in the anemone is a maroon clownfish - they're both very happy together - I thought I might add another - do you think they would quarrel since they were not added together? More live rock will be added in time as per your suggestions and also a few more cleaners By the way, my copperband has been in the tank for about a month - he picks at the rocks but has never eaten any food? weird but he seems ok. |
