Hello RC! :wavehand:
It's been a while since I have posted anything on here (or really been on any reef site for that matter) ... unfortunately this past summer with me being away for so long and even now that the new season has started, I had a decent tank crash and lost a bit of stuff ... my fish suffered the most ... but being in this hobby for so many years, you learn to move forward and rebuild, as much as it stinks. :lmao:
So here is my new 150G tank (72x18x30").
System Spec's:
150G RR Tank
40G Sump
20G Fuge (has to be set up ... since adding the second skimmer to the tank I don't have the room for the fuge down below the tank, so I will be plumbing a 20G tank into the system)
Lighting: 3x250W MH Lumenbright Mini's Reflectors with Reeflux 12k bulbs (Two lights on at 1pm then off at 9pm ... middle reflector on at 2pm off at 10pm)
2x Ecoxotic LED Stunner Strips
Skimmer(s): Bubble Magus Cone Skimmer, Red Sea C-Skim1800 (before anyone jumps on them for being so-so skimmers, they were generously given to me to try them out :spin1
Flow: 2x Vortech MP-40W's, 2x Koralia 3's and 1x Koralia 4
I run carbon in a bag, i used to use the Two Little Fishies Reactors, which always ended up leaking on me and causing me more trouble than they were worth. (maybe it was something I did ... lol!)
I have a Deltec Reactor with GFO which works very nicely ... I would love to add another one to the system, they are so well built and I see why people pay the prices they do for their equipment.
I kept the fish very simple this time around ... 3x Yellow Tangs, 1x Gold Rim Tang, 1x Midas Blenny, 1x Mystery Wrasse, 1x Orange Flanked Wrasse, 1x Pink Skunk Clown, 1x Ocellaris Clown, 1x Sleeper Goby, 2x Green Chromis 5x Yellow Tail Damsel
Enough rambling ... here are a couple photos of the tank! :dance:
