    Default Recoil's 65 Gallon Tank

    I was playing with my camera today and though I'd take some pictures. I'm not that good of a photographer, but I'm learning! I added one of my MH just because I was happy I was finally learning how to play with my aperture! Now, I just need to get good at the white balance.

    Remaining shots. And yeah, I see my front door in the main tank shot. I should have covered it. Well, live and learn!!

    Love the shot of the Goby.

    Also, I'd like to give you a compliment on your exceptional rockwork, simple yet very attractive. Good work.

    +1 on the rockwork. It's gonna look awesome once corals got more growth to them. Good job.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Thanks for the compliments folks! I had it a nice cave going in the middle, but bryopsis had other ideas! So, instead of risking the tank, that big rock is sitting in a tub of bleach. It will be back one day.

    And yeah, my idea was to cover both sides of the islands in SPS. Bad thing is, until they grow in, it does look bare. But, patience will have it's rewards in a year or so!

    And Moe (Our goby) is a awesome little fish. He's friendly and very inquisitive. Whenever we are by the tank he will swim over to check us out. Moe is my wifes absolutely favorite fish. I wasn't all 100% getting him at first. I was afraid by not having an old enough sandbed system to support him. But, before buying I made sure he ate frozen, and he does. He's a hungry bugger, and eats frozen like a champ.

    Dude, nice tank. Can't wait to see it first hand, preferably over a cold corona?

    Nice tank! What are the dimensions of it? You running one or two MH's? Just curious because I am thinking about getting a new tank and that size looks pretty good to me. Thanks!
    Thanks
