+ACampbell Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Where to begin. Where to begin... Well, I bought this tank on a whim back in January of 06. I've gone through many tanks since then, but I've always had my 12 gallon cube. Wow I can't believe I found these pics. My first tank picture ever! It wasn't long before I had her filled up. (amazing because I was living on ramen at the time) and even fuller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 It wasn't long before I wanted to add a few mods. Nothing major. small chiller I eventually replaced with a fan. extra 18watts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Well we've caught up to present day (creation day of the blog) I've skipped a few memorable phases, but only because I couldn't find the pics. Here is a current FTS. Not may favorite because the anemone is deflated. New scarlet on new calm My favorite fish. trimma goby skim mate from sapphire skimmer Well thats all for now. I'll keep this going as my tank seems to be constantly changing and camera skill slowly improving. Thanks for viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 When you have a small tank thats full, getting a new coral is a big deal. Since I got rid of two rbta I now had the perfect spot for this pink birds nest. I took this shot shortly after I put it in. I'll post another after the polyps come out. I didn't get this at the swap, it's just a good shot I got of a blasto frag with the yasha in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hey everyone. Just posting a follow up on the PBN. Heres a good shot with the polyps out: As I mentioned in the previous entry. I sold two rbtas and got the PBN. Well, looks like my remaining anemone missed his friends because it already split. I'm not sure this is a good thing considering my tank is way to small. Heres a few other macros I got today: zoo1 zoo2 acan with a full tummy stupid shrooms Not a macro but a good FTS. Thanks for viewing. All comments welcome!

Headless_donkey Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Super cool tank. We have always been nervous about keeping an anemone in our twelve gallon tank. You seem to be able to do it without a problem. Congrats. BTW your bird's nest looks nothing like mine. I find that truly fascinating. Great tank!

+ACampbell Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well I've done it. I've finally broken out of the nano world. I'm finally at a place in my life where I can have a large aquarium. I've been in this hobby awhile and have noticed a trend. UPGRADES. It seems that no matter what aquarium a hobbyist has, it's never good enough. There's always something new and better. With that in mind, I decided to purchase the best hardware I could possibly afford. I've convinced myself I will be happy and that it will be a very long time before any upgrades. I got a used package deal from another aquarist who was getting out of the hobby. If you interested in seeing some of the hardware pics you can read this thread. We moved the tank last Saturday (4-14-07) and it has been up and running for a week. Here's a few good shots I got today of some of the SPS I've added. Blue Tort Pink Birds Nest I moved over from my nano Blue Milli Some kind of yello acro? Good shot of the blue mille (bottom right) with the green acro with blue tips (upper left) Pink Milli Well that's all for now. I'll have some new post and I get new additions to the tank. Thanks for viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Got a good shot of my orange spot rabbitfish and thought I would share. I think the pattern on this fish is just amazing. Here is the same fish, just mad. Crazy how quickly they can change colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ACampbell Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 I was playing around and got a video of my yasha with the shrimp out in the open. I've moved everything else into the 125. Now their in a species only tank and doing really well. *EDIT -- I've edited this post to remove the auto-playing movie.

+ACampbell Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Well after much debate I finally added some crushed coral to fill in the bare spot in the middle of the tank, which was left by all my flow. I must say that I absolutely hate the crushed coral, but it is much better than the bare spot. I ended up mixing all the substrate in the tank to give it a homogenous look. First decent full tank shot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I feel you. I think we are going to have to do the same thing in the 110. Bare spots right in front suck! BTW Did it solve your problems? Sweet aspect ratio on the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Just vacuum the sandbed (ala freshwater gravel siphon) and you shouldn't have any problems with detritus accumulating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
