How is the Pink Birdsnest doing for you? Did it ever color up? How old is your tank now?

I like your landscape. Lots of space to "plant" things on.

 

[Orion]

The Pink Birdnest is still the same size has not grown it is doing just fine it has a very soft pink coloring. On another note the Blue Acro has been coming back first turned a very soft lime green color and now it is a red burgundy color.
The landscape I had it to change it last Sunday since my clown fish disappear (he died)

These are a few new pictures of the new landscaping

Sorry about your clownfish. Do you know the cause of death?

I'm glad the corals are coloring up for you.

looks goog, keep it up. sorry to here about the clownfish.

 

[Orion]

Thanks Lyn. I am getting some more color in the tank I am very happy
Well I do not really know why the clown died but in a way I am kind of happy, She was turning very mean. whenever I needed to do maintenance she would come and nip very hard.

Here is an updated of my tank I had a 40g and went to a 58g Oceanic Starfire and I re arrange the rocks and livestock

Nice tank! I see my frag plugs :bigsmile:. if you want to glue them down they're hollow so you can use a dremel and easily remove the 4 feet.

Thank you Jess
I got the Pink Poodle for you.
PM to schedule pick up

 

[Orion]

Thanks Tim
I will wait a little longer before I remove them and set them in the rocks.
They are looking great.

Gus, your 58 gallon tank looks nice and clean. Just curious... what are the two vertical tubes next to the overflow?

 

[Sfork]

Looks like his returns

 

[Orion]

That is correct
They are the returns
I been trying to change them to a black pipe but I always get side tracked and do something else.
