Fellow RC Members-
First off, I would like to thank each and every one of you guys (and girls) for your wonderful advice and guidance since I started my 55G Reef 18 months ago. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
Now, for the Equipment and Livestock:
Equipment:
Coralife Super Skimmer 220 w/ PVC Output Mod w/ T Vent
Current USA 260 PC Fixture w/ four 50/50 10K/420nm Actinic Bulbs
One Maxijet 1200 and one ViaAqua 400 Powerhead on 45 second alternating currents.
200W Thermal Compact Heater by Hagen
Coralife Digi-Temp Monitor
pH Monitor by Precision Marine
Salinity Monitor by Precision Marine
That's it for the equipment, now for the livestock:
47 Lbs of Premium Fiji LR
50 lbs of Oolitic Sand by CaribSea
One Haitian Pink-Tipped Anemone
Xenia Frags galore
Assorted Zoanthids
One large Featherduster, lots of small ones
9 Headed Frogspawn (this one is my fave)
One Powder Brown Tang (Acanthurus Japonicus)
2 MATED Percula Clownfish
One Rainford's Goby
2 Cleaner Shrimp
One Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata sp.)
As you can see, I tried to rely on mostly natural filtration, however I skim fairly wet with my skimmer. And believe me, it is NASTY!
Please ask any questions or leave any comments/recommendations you wish, as they are very welcomed and appreciated.
Now for the pics!
