TOTM Entries For February 2008

[Mr.Reefer]

Post your pics here and have fun!

Here's my tank! I know, nothing too special yet. But, I LOVE my fish! I have a 44 gallon tank with two ocellaris clowns, two black ocellaris clowns, a yellow tang, a valentini puffer, a green chromis, a haitian anemone, and some live rock.

[Mr.Reefer]

Nice. Can you give us more details? Lighting used, filtration, etc
I see you have some artificial plants and corals, do you plan to add live corals and rock?

[whynotfive]

Nice-I love clown fish, I always have. I think they rate pretty high at the top of my favourites list.

Do you plan to add more fish, or as Mr Reefer said, live corals? It looks like it could handle a fair bit more.

looks real good! I love the huge rock anemone
how old is the tank?

[DJChesnutRabbit]

Thanks!
This tank is about 10 months old. Some of the livestock and live rock came from a 40 gallon corner we had prior.
That rock anemone is kind of special to me. I got it for Christmas, a little over a year ago, and that was my only present. It was a very rough year.

[whynotfive]

Then I am glad that the anemone is still alive. You have a really beautiful set up, what are the plant/corral species?
