New tank. ADA 60-F Bommie style! 9 gallon shallow

Thanks very much everyone... Black azn, always with the insightful comments lol! i love how the tank is finally settling in and maintenance has become a lot easier, plus running out of room has put a little more coin in the cup holder.. Although i do plan to buy an led for my sump and a frag rack!
 
yupO!

wow... this looks really great.. i like it.. now i am thinking where i can make one in my house like that.. :) love it and it is so full .

great job
 
thanks marius! it is definitely and completely packed, that last photo wasn't even when most of the coral was expanded (taken right before lights off) - What started off as a tank built on minimalism has quickly showed the ugly, and beautiful face of addiction, and has turned into this tank! Clown goby loves his sps - will have to make an updated video soon - the tank is quite a small footprint actually - only 2 feet long by 1 foot wide
 
Thanks bro bro! the mandarin is doing great, a little fattie - I was feeding him pellets and cyclopeeze like 5x a day at first.. but he's been getting what looks like his fair share of snacks around the tank, only pellet feeding like 2x a day now - he gorges rod's food when I feed spot feed coral every other day

le update - the new scape has finally settled in for the most part and opened up, sorry for all the hurricanes coral!

wow - legendary comment -, HAHA the light used to be clipped on a 2x4 that was propped up against the tank about 3' up.... some of the beginning shots show this - it was like a moonlight haha.

Will post pics of sump soon.
 
Oh! Stop it you!... Thing is, i dont really forsee any updates in the near future, no more room lol... I have been contemplating adding another cleaner shrimp to have a mated pair.. Haven't really researched yet/ thinking if i even have the room!

Very great comment - not dosing anything - the reef stays perfect (calcium stays good) with 20-25% water changes every week.

Although I did see a very slight downswing (like 10 ppm) in calcium since I put the sps and second clam in last week from my last water change - the biggest I've noticed so far.

Few things beat coming back to your tank after being away for 4+ days. I have the privilege to have fallen in love with beautiful water nymphs with tanks of their own that have helped contribute to, and I always think how truly awesome, gnarly and inspiring their tanks are no matter what.

BUT THEN . . I come home with a fresh palette and ideas and feel like I'm walking into a stranger's room when I see THAT freakin magnificent WILD, turbid, glowing ocean of love right where it should be.

Its certainly a fact that my tank looks 50x better when I haven't meddled with it/ stuck my stinky human hands in for a few days.
 
awesome tank... where on south side u located? would like to come check this out sometime if its cool
