icereefer:

I like your tank, you take pictures perfectly too...nice macro shots...as in closeups...

I like how you blend macro algaes in with corals...this is an extraordinary feature I love about ya'lls tanks. Looks great. By the way, how often do you 'prune' the algae back?

[SaltyDawg]

Very Nice Tank, Love the Fire Shrimp.

[icereefer]

thanks

[Puffy]

[miztahphong2]

man i love your tank. everything looks so nicely put together and how clean it looks.

[icereefer]

here this one is new my yellow gorgonian

[Bertsch]

impressive. I want to start a reef tank in the worst way and i think that just inpored me to start one. I just purchased a 45 gallon tall tank, and I have been trying to figure out what to do with it. Now it has something to become!

[pilotrob]

ah there it is, ive been waiting to see that gorgonian in all its glory! you should post a new tank shot just to put it in perspective. very nice.

[icereefer]

these are some of my frags I sell off.

[Gringoloco]

Hey icereefer with that gorgonian, it needs to be kept in a place of high current. The reason being is it is prone to develop algae, and cy-bacteria if kept in low current. The species will quickly start falling apart once the growth has started. I have one in my tank also its a very colorful peace. And since they are found in water of 60 ft depth or more, light is not a requirement for them, but current is. Make sure if you are going to keep it there to clean it about twice a week to prevent build up. I have mine fairly close to my power head. Thats cool that you got a shot of it in the day time. Mine normally only comes out fully at night.

[miztahphong2]

how much are for the frags? man you have some of the nicest ones too. and give me an estimate on shipping.

[icereefer]

ya I read up on them before I got it, and thanks for the advice.
Ice

[icereefer]

heres my newest picture of my whole tank

[MikeS]

looking great as always! :D

Got a question for you on your grape calupera...does yours do wall under direct lighting? Most of my grape calupera under direct lighting is turning white, but it is staying green and growing in the shady areas...

Mike

[icereefer]

Mine sits under my chaeto,so it doesn't get direct light.
but yes mine does to if in direct lighting ,Im running a 6500k PC. run lighting 24/7.

[MikeS]

I've had other types of calupera, but this is my first go with grape...will the white sections recover or is that piece basically dead?

Mike

[icereefer]

it usally dies off when it turns white, I try and get mine out when I see it start turning white.

[coral_diver]

By the way what happened to the clam? Not enough light or what?

[icereefer]

By the way what happened to the clam? Not enough light or what?
No it was grow good so it was getting good light, it was just getting to big, I'm going to get a smaller one about 3", my other crocea was a little over 6".

[sweetmisery]

What are the dimensions of your aquarium if I may ask? And how many fishes are there?

[icereefer]

If your talking about my tank Sweetmisery it's a 18"x24"x22" and I have 5 fish. a pair of perc's, 1-yellow clown goby,1-diamond goby, 1-fridmani

[nanoman123]

whats a fridmani?


also, doesnt an anenome sorta count as a fish?


Still, thats the best reef tank ive ever seen in my life, seriously, its amazing :eek2: :eek2:

[icereefer]

fridmani (orchid dottyback)
and no an anemone is a invertabrate (no spine)

and thanks I've put a lot of time and research, in my tank and this is why Im a moderator, because it's sites like this one that has helped me get to this point in reefing, and I just want to be able to give a little back to other reefers in my thanks.
so keep on reefing and keep the questions coming, this is how we'll all grow in our guest to keep the beauty thriving in our homes

[icereefer]

just thought I'd add this picture, this is what my tank looked like about a year ago.

[MikeS]

your tank has come a LONG way!

Mike

[icereefer]

[chode]
