12g nano reef and 175g reef

[ramsey]

I added more live rock and aquascaped the 175g yesterday. I felt it was time to upload some pics!

We'll start with the nano

I upgraded the lights a little today. I added a UV stunner strip and an actinic stunner strip. The pics don't do it justice. The fluorescence on the corals is amazing!

Here's my 175 that I just added some LR to and aquascaped. There is a big cave on both sides and TONS of areas for fish to swim through. It was a lot of work and time consuming but I'm very happy with it.

Finally, i get to see it ;)

[hobogato]

they both look great, i really like those bright green stars

[ramsey]

Thanks! It actually opens more than that. It was a little ticked off since I re-scaped the day before. I'm probably going to be fragging it at some point since there's pieces just hanging off the rock. Once I do, I'll likely put it in the coral swap thingy.

I got to see it in person tonight...WOW! Totally different aquascaping than that shown here. It looks so friggin' natural! I gotta say, your cleaner shrimp was huge compared to those I've seen for sale and in other tanks. Good work, now put up some current pics...photos definitely DO NOT do the aquarium justice.

I really like that big cave a lot. So what changed?

[chunkymonkey]

mmaybe just me but in person seemed brighter and active with more life.

you mean the fish are moving and stuff... ;)

[ramsey]

Yes, I did change it. I still have the cave on the left but I changed the right up quite a bit. I have a big pile of rock on the right separate from the left pile. I have two pieces of tonga branch going across and connecting them. I've also added quite a few new corals. I'll try to get updated pics up at some point.

lol @ Europhyllia :P

Great tanks Ramsey. Is the 175 a bowfront? Great size for a bowfront.

[ramsey]

Yup, it's a bowfront. I really wanted a 150g Marinleand deep dimension tank but decided to go used. I didn't think I'd like a big bowfront but I really do like it. As soon as I stepped into the sellers house and saw it, I knew I wanted it.

New pics!

Here's my new mystery wrasse. He's quickly becoming one of my favorites in the tank

Here's a sun coral I have under the cave. It seems really happy there!

Here's my blenny Gordo. He got that name for a reason.

Here's a couple of pictures of the tank before I got it so you can see how much it's changed. It amazes me how different it looks.
