Hey all,
I upgraded from my puny 20H after only about 3 months lol, and am loving my Deep Blue 80 gallon rimless so I thought I would share some photos of it from the start so I can update as it progresses. I don't really consider an 80 gallon a large tank(I work with 5000 gallon systems at work) but I don't consider it a nano either. I live on the Atlantic in South Florida so all of my sand and water is all natural and I run everything at natural sea water parameters : ). My phosphates are running a bit high so I will be adding a refugium and lots of macroalgae as well as upgrading the Koralia to another MP10 eventually. For now it does the job. I plan to have the top half be mainly SPS and the bottom softies and LPS once I get my phosphates under control. Below are the specs followed by a few (poor iphone) pics. Let me know what you guys think and any recommendations you may have!
Equipment:
Lighting: Maristar HQI/T5 HO Combo Fixture
2 x 250W Pheonix 14k
2 x 39W Blue Wave T5HO
Filtration: ~125lbs Live rock
~30-40 lbs Live sand
AC70 for some mechanical
Skimmer: ESHOPPS PSK-100H (This thing works awesomely and is very quiet!)
Powerheads: MP10 ES
Koralia 1150
Livestock:
Yellow Tang
Flameback Angel
Royal Dottyback
Maroon Clown (Will be moved into my old 20H once it is back up and running)
Orange Spotted Goby and Pistol Shrimp
Spotted Mandarin
Anemone Shrimp
Bumblebee Shrimp
Pom Pom Crab x 2
Cleaner Shrimp
Green Bubbletip Anemone (Will be moved with Maroon Clown)
CUC (astrea and red striped snails, blue leg and red leg hermits)
Various frogspawns (3)
Torches x 2
Green Pipe Organ
Many different Zoanthids
Green Star Polyp
Xenia
Neon Green Candy Cane
Lobophyllia sp. x 2
Thanks for looking,
Brian
