A few years back I had to move my business into a small space that didn't have room for my 150 g reef, so I gave it to the LFS. (no room at home and unable to sell in the short time I had)
About two months ago, my husband received a call from a friend that he had a friend with a 65 g reef that needed to be removed from his house. My husband and I took it down and put it in our home.
I was told, at one time, it had over $6,000 in corals and livestock. It came with 1 pair of Tomato Clowns, open brain, ricordia, brown polyps, red mushrooms and colonies of candy cane. We've since added peppermint shrimp, emerald crabs, arrow crab, turbo snails, nassarius snails, calaurpa, feather duster, yellow ball sponge, yellow goby, leather coral, torch, and for Mother's Day the children added a rose bubble tip anemone.
Equipment: T5 4 bulbs, 2 powerheads, wetdry, protein skimmer, RO filtration, and chiller. I still have to hook up the RO. Will do it soon as we added fans and now the tank goes through 1 g of RO water a day. I don't think I'm going to need the chiller. He had it because he had water automatically added to the tank. I've had bad experiences with this type of system since I started tanks back in the 80's. Not going through that here.
Here are some pictures. In the one, Inspector Meiko Luv is checking it out. I'm probably going to exchange some of the brown polyps, candy cane, mushrooms and the brown (? brain ?). I have other desires for coral inhabitants.
