Pics of Big Habeeb's tank

[Big Habeeb (a.k.a. Mitch)[_2_]]

Per request, I took a buncha pictures and posted the 'in progress' ones
as well...they're not great quality, since I took them with my phone,
but it's a start.

Your phone camera is better than my camera.

I just put another 24 lbs of lr in. I figure I've got another 15 to go.

Nice looking tanks. I think I definitely need to add some additional
liverock, but finding it in small chunks is not so easy...all the
nano-builders in the area buy it up as quickly as the LFS can get it in.
I'm guestimating I have a hair over a hundred pounds in there at this
point...for a 72 gallon tank I'd have expected it to look a lot more
full than it does with that much rock in it!!!

You may not need as much. The 45 has a canister filter. I have the DSB and
lr to counter act the nitrates. Also, there are about 6 creatures in that
tank that like to poop it up.

The biocube is pretty stable. I have a skimmer and more lr in the false
back.

They look good cause I check the water every 24 hours.

If I had yours I'd put another 150 lbs of lr in..Here, that's about $800
with tax and it is getting hard to find.

Heh, dont think I'll be adding that much...though the LFS near me
actually gets it in plentiful amounts. I basically go there every time
he is expecting a shipment and will just be hand picking the little
chunks ro fill out my tank. I don't need it for the filtration as much
at this point, but more for aquascaping purposes...filling in the gaps,
making more places to put corals etc...and of course the extra
filtration can't hurt either :p

I really don't know why the lfs sold us this canister. Later they called it
a nitrate factory.

If I could I'd do one LR all the way to the top. No sand base just a bit of
heavy gravel. Then I'd have the biocube just for the coral. That thing will
grow almost anything.

Yours needs at least 75 more lbs. If not for nitrates, just for the
aesthetics. JMO That's nice looking LR you have now. The stuff I got now
looks piece meal because it is. The stuff on the bottom is pretty much
covered in purple algae. The other stuff is tail end left-overs.

OTOH:

I really like those shrimp. I've got a red one and he's a character. Really
fun to watch eat.

Last night is was looking in the biocube and there were these little gray
things that looked like flea/rats scurrying around on the gravel. As soon as
the light came on they ran off. Every time I look in those tanks I see
something different.
