Nice pick ups, I already saw em on r2r though lol. The seasons greetings is one of my favs as far as montis go. I think I mounted mine too far back though since and can hardly ever see it.

Yeah I do like R2R also, nothing against RDO I am here all the time and post here more often but R2R has a real nice layout and monthly giveaways.

Tanks coming along nice man, keep up the good work.

 

[Acronuts1]

Thanks Ben,
I will post fts later on today. 6 foot tank is hard to get in one shot.
Thanks I think I am done with corals for a while. (HMMMM)I am going to concentrate on getting the fish that I would like to have.
Thank you for the support.
I go to R2R because I have friends that are there. I have some friends on RDO as well. Had it not been for wrasser on here I don't think I could've moved up to my 180g.

Well guys its been a month and we are still a work in progress. I added 12 green chromis because I love the schooling thing. Its funny though because there were 7 in one cubical and 5 in another cubical at the LFS. They all hang out but at night the pack splits 7 on one side of the tank the other 5 in the back of the tank.

So far no ammonia spikes since the transfer. Did a wc last week and one week after the wc no off the chart parimeters.

I added a digital temp reader and notice that the actual temp in the daytime is 80.1, at night 79.1. The temp on the chiller cools the water down to 78 deg. like clock work. Interesting that the temp has a differential of 1 to 1 1/2 deg. I'll keep an eye out.

Aaptasia amemones!!! Nothing seems to work! Tried red sea, and other brands, they don't seem to work. So for this problem I added 10 pistol shrimps. So far three days and all five visable aa are still alive.

How long should I give them before going the copperband butterfly route?

Anyhow one of you guys said that since I was adding a lot of corals that I should post a FTS.
My white balance is still not measuring I feel correctly because it strips away most of the blue color from the tank and a 180g without a really true wideangle lense has its challenges.
Let me know what you guys think.

Berghia Nudibranch work well for aiptasia.

I bought two for my 28G tank and the aiptasia disappeared within a month and never came back.

Dammit. I can never look at these pics at work. Now I finally remember to look at home and all I can see are pictures telling me you've exceeded your bandwidth! :lol:
