My 180 Starphire Cube

Well being that I suck at growing SPS I think I may switch the direction of my tank. Maybe I need to just go with easier corals. I think it will make having the tank alot less stressful. With the SPS one day they look good and others they look like they are dead. With feeding the tank heavily my sand is brown. My nitrates are probably up because my acan isn't looking good. Zoos and LPS have nice color and are alot easier.

Enjoying this thread nice addition with the swallowtails 1 of my favorite angels

Well I turned my MP40's on constant max speed. SPS seem a bit happier. Let's see.

Re-did the aquascape a bit. Lost the Angel and Butterfly to the carpet. Needless to say the carpet is now gone.

 

[shipwrecked]

yep,this morning the carpet had a sign that read:send more angels Im hungry..lol It will have to like silversides and krill from here out.So far so good.But in my tank it looks more green than blue.Maybe cause my lighting is 14K(?) None the less nice specimen.Great meeting you and hope you have luck with the zoos.

Picked up a beautiful pair of bellus Angels from Greg at ultimate reefs.

 

[Baxreefs]

Nice Paul! The bellus will look beautiful in your tank!

 

[MadReefer]

I was there and they are beautiful.

I will try to get some pictures up of the angels and the beautiful bubble tip I got from Mike and Nikki tomorrow.Just read a thread on RC that these guys like to eat zoos and acans. Hope this is not the case. I was under the impression that these guys were reef safe. Hmmmmm

I had a Pair for a year that I got from RedSand. They were fantastic with my sps and lps however I went and got a sick zooanthid frag pack from a friend and within a few hours both of them started tagging the polyps. I fish-trapped them and removed them to another tank and ultimately ended up trading the pair to a person with SPS only tank. Beautiful fish but I had a bad experience with them and zoos. Each fish is different though.. Feed them well and im sure they will be fine!

Glad to hear it!

The first and second picture you posted looks like the "new direction" of the tank is really coming along well.

 

[howze01]

Man I love this tank! So glad you decided to hold onto it. The new Angels are really nice! Hope they continue to behave themselves...

Those angels are great. I've been thinking about them for my tank.
