Before and after tank pics

[JustDavidP]

75G with dual 175 MH, and two 90W actinic tubes... ugly as sin sump-fugium (old wet/dry) with a Mag9, EuroReef ES 5-3, with macro, LR, mangroves and PC's for lighting. Most of my corals are gifts/trades. I've got 6 clams in there too... That picture was months ago...the corals are about an inch and a half taller now.

My wife calls it my "mistress"

Nice job David!

Thanks Bud!

I've got, Gumhead, You, Moe, Joe and plenty others who deserve the real thanks. Three years ago, I was content with cichlids and you collectively dragged me into the salt. Everything I learned, I learned from BRS, Anthony C., Fenner, Borneman and others who take the time to show the way. Who figured, a CJ degree, a job in the same field, and because of Randy Holmes Farle and the obvious need to keep up with "good husbandry", I learned chem 101!? Finally, you could all peer into my tank and see bits and pieces of your own. The swaps, acutions, sales..whatever built that reef It's not mine, I'm just keepin it up for y'all!

big difference since BRS and RAG but have no previous pics from before RAG ( probably be too embarassed to show them anyway )
also notice the photo quality is alittle better also

skyedolphan that look very nice! Makes me want to redo my rocks

 

[skyedolphan]

thank you Ray
but the real good job goes to Lam he did the rock work I just had to agree and promise not to touch it when he was done LOL worked on the tank about 7 hours that day between removing fish,rock,water and corals then repositioning took about 3 hours in itself and another day to get the rest of the zoos out of the nano..and into the main then a week to acclimate the dwarfs to the salinity of the fuge 3 weeks later and everyone seems very happy including myself with only 1 tank to worry about rather than the 3

Dawn, your tank looks great.

Dawn (or Lam), what methods did you use to get your rocks positioned that way? They can't be just "stacked". Just inquisitive about the nice aquascaping!
