I can't believe how fast time goes and 2 years have past since I first put up my tank. I thought I would show some then and now pics for people to see. My goal for this tank was to have a mixed reef housing as many different reef animals as I could maintain. I still have a way to go. My newest additions are non-photosynthetic soft coral species. I want to see if it's possible to have sps and non-photosynthetic corals thrive in the same tank.
Here is a pic of the tank when it was new.

Here it is today

A few closer up

What equipment do you have on it? And where is the filtration hidden?

Hi Paul

Great tank. Do you run a sump, any pics? I'd like to know more about your tank, what equipment you are running, any additives etc.

More pics to please.

Is that one LARGE monti on the right side? That thing must be 2 feet in all directions!

 

[reefkeeper2]

I'll try and get some more pics on. That's a gigantea anemone on the right. I've had it about 5 years.

 

[reefkeeper2]

The sump is in the basement. All the plumbing is hidden in the stand.

Awesome tank!

How many fish has that anemone "accidentally" eaten? That thing is HUGE!!!

May I ask you a question; where do you get those flexible arms for your 4 sup lights, I've been trying to do that but couldn't find a flexible arm like that?

 

[reefkeeper2]

I bought those arms last year when I changed the configuration of the lights. I did a google search for goose neck lamp parts. Sorry but I don't remember exactly where I got them. Then I drilled holes into the finnex fixtures and just attached them with a washer and bolt
