375 g Reef/ 600 g System stuffed in my office

Chad! You've been busy brother! Your new tank looks great!

I've been working slow between doing conmetic projects in the room my new tank will go in and the new job I've had my hands full.

That and my SPS are doing fine in the holding tank. So, I had not felt pressed for time. But summer is comming so I need to get it in gear!

My new 150 is drilled and fitted with a GH1500 overflow. But it is stranded in the garage cause the door spring snapped and now that little side project is on the list too!

nice setup

I need to write an update!

The 150 is up and running with fish and SPS!

Here's an FTS and an end view

Very nice! I'm glad to hear your up and running again

Thanks Sandy!

I'll post a link to the new build thread once I start it!

BAX,
In late summer 2009 I was in the starting prep phases of getting my 500 gallon office system moved to my house for more time with the tank and easier care, and then all hell broke loose.

Literally today - I finally got a 300 into our house. I can't wait until I can bring it to life

I was just reading your thread! Looks like you are really moving along.

I thought i would never get fish and coral back in a display tank! It really feels good!

Top of the reef from the end with both of the Orchids out and about.

End of the tank the Tomini is darting around at the bottom.

The YT thinks he's the boss but I'm pretty sure it's the female clown! The clowns are back to spawning every 2-3 weeks!

My soliterensis was knocked back to just a wee frag by my battle with AEFWs but is now the fastest growing coral in my system.

My Hawkins is back too!

Two of the more unusual pieces in my system my a. simplex and crayola plana, in the back my Peterson's blue millie that just won't look blue. I'm really considering either MH or T-5 supps to the LEDs. Just 4 hours a day could really make all the difference in growth and color.

My deresa is getting BIG!

The RBTA that the clowns just will not even acknowledge! They thrived in my last RBTA!!!!

Azure damsel and some nukes

The flame is really looking good and getting FAT!

I picked up a 20g from the PetCo's $1/gallon sale for a QT (I broke the original QT.... FYI MagLites & glass tanks don't mix) so it'll be time to add some fish in it soon as the garage warms up a bit. :fish1:

And here's the display.

I still have to get the rock ledge made for the wine bar.

And and FTS from early in December it's already changed quite a bit since then

:smokin:

 

[Bax]

A recent FTS.

I'll probably start a new thread in the SPS forum given the DT size.

Hello Bax,
Everything looks amazing! I'm so glad to hear your system is up and running the way you wanted
It won't take long for the corals to adjust and start growing again.
Best of luck to you!
I look forward to seeing more pictures!

Tank looks really good Bax. Now sit back and enjoy.

Thanks Sandy!
Thanks Newbie!
I still have some steps to take to really make things as stable as i like but i'm really getting close to having the entire system just the way I want it.

It's been some time since I have viewed your thread

I like the new set-up, it's going to look pretty amazing when everything fills in.

Thank you Rob! I hope it does!!!
