Lets see some equipment progression!
That tank is a MONSTER!!!

Have you had any die offs? The reason I ask is because some pieces are obviously moved slightly over time, some seam new, some have grown allot, and I just don't see some.

This tank would make a great build thread!

I have 4 250 mh on display
8 ft frag tank has 1 150 mh lumerac reflector 8 t5 bulb 4 ft fixture
ozotech ozone reactor
Hurricone 2 skimmer
Korillian 4002 Calcium reactor
Refugium cheato
remote sand bed

I have had some die off when alk dropped. Tank have been stable for a while now very few losses as of late.

Corals missing is due to thining out mostly and getting more colorful coral or just changing of lanscape.

Also the dang tang ate up most colorful zoas and irrated the dendros and acans

Beautiful tank.

Do you know how high those lumenarcs are mounted and are those the mini version? thanks

 

[SaltwaterAdict]

How long is that beast! Looks like 8-10ft.

Tangs eat zoas? I thought they're algae eaters?? You sure it wasn't someone else?

However, I heard report of the blue tang eating xenia. That sucks if he did indeed go to town..

Did you save any or was it to late?

 

[NVfishman]

Thanks tank is 10 ft long by 28 x28 larges lumenarc III
Lost most of my nice zoas definatly almost 100% sure it was the hippo blue tangs, got rid of sailfin shortly after and biggest hippo. then moved them to softie tank and the starfish cleaned up a bunch more (asternia stars the algae eating kind)

Looking good marcus.. still can't believe that thing is 10ft hehe. Im gonna have to grab some frags from you once I get the 240 setup. And you have the hurricone 2 on that thing? Guess mine will work great on the 240

 

[NVfishman]

Hurricone seems to be working great now after I adjusted it. should be fine in your 240. John has the same skimmer as well
