1 year anv.

Well it safe to say that has been one year since I got back into this hobby I thought I would share all these pictures of the past tank and I had and the new tank I have have now. The rocks are a year old in my system but they were over years old in my friend's system who was one of the first people I met on this site becides a fomer co worker who introduced me to this site and then the rest was history.

I bought this tank back in december of last year with nothing in it but what you see.

Here are 2 full tank shots and after I joined the site you can see all the live rock I have in the tank.

The kenya tree I got free from one of the members on the site and he told me to pass it on it was one of my 2nd coral to have in the tank. I still have it today and it one of the nicer pices I have in the tank( i know it is a kenya tree but it was the fact of it being one of my first starter coral)

Then I bought one of the first fish I have in the tank now which is the chromis ( I do not have a picture becuase it is to fast) and the blue devill which turned out not be that much of a devil and is very calm in the tank. I guess I lucked out with that one.

One fish that stood out to me was when I went to the lfs store he was in the tank just sitting there looking at me so I walked back and forth and it look liked he was following me so I bought him the chalk basslet of fat boy as I call him him. This is what he looked like before when I bought him and look at him now bigggg difference.

Then I saw a posting for a 40 breeder in Sept from Kris so I said to my self a 40 acrylic high is not cutting it for me with pc lighting so I bought the tank I still have the pictures of what he sent me when I was looking at it

 

[anthony27]

Now I have the 40 breeder and the up graded lighting t5 ho 6 bulbs. Look how much can get done in one year with the help of the people on this site. I must say if it was not for this site I would probly still have no coral and no new light or any thing for that matter and have had a fowlr tank, and def not a 40 breeder.


Here are some pictures of the tank now, and in closing I would like to say thank you MR. :splitspin:splitspin:splitspin

[Chraddam]

Dude-REALLY nice tank, man...

 

[anthony27]

thank you guys I should patten them then lol I like the result of the cap on the suction cup it was a good idea at the time so insted of building on the rock i am building on the glass. I have another bright orange cap and it is going on the glass tommorw. I will take pictures of that and show you them

 

[NDY]

[aznt1217]

[anthony27]

[MIKE NY]

looking good..it came a long way in just one year. BTW I think your chalky is a female..looks like my female....my male's third spike on it's back is longer and also has longer bright blue spikes on it's gill plates

 

[anthony27]

thank you very much mike, if you can send me a picture of the male that you have maby I can find one and mate them

 

[MO~IDOL]

Nice work Anthony. the suction cup its a great idea but not for long term. magnet disc will be more stable.

 

[anthony27]

funnyyy you bring that up cause I was looking into that now lol made up something I am going to try out tommorw night and see how it goes. I have a magnet that I am going to dip in heated plastic and have it dry for a day then have the other end attached to the back of the glass. I will post a picture tommorw of this project. I already glued the disk to the suction cup

 

[anthony27]

Up date magnets worked like a charm and the coral is all mounted up
