Brooks' SPS Dominated 34g

[BrooksReef]

After getting rid of my 75g and moving in to my new house, I set up this 34g Solana! I wanted to make it an SPS dominated reef, and I'm loving every minute of doing so!

Here are some pictures... I suck at taking FTS' so here are some close ups and a crappy FTS.

Great looking tank. You have some real nice looking corals. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing

Great pieces in there. How bout some specs?

 

[BrooksReef]

Thanks everyone!


As far as specs go,

I'm using the standard Solana set up, and I've added a VorTech MP10 to keep a nice current through the tank. I also switched out the bulb to a 150 14k DE Phoenix. I love the color and growth that I've already seen in the first month.

I'm skimming heavily to keep algae down.

I'm running my lights for 8 hours a day.

Fish in the tank:

2 Anthias
1 Blue "Devil" Damsel
2 Percula Clownfish
1 Purple Dartfish
1 Yellow Tang

thats a lot of fish in such a small tank!

 

[BrooksReef]

Yes, it is! :S But, if I start to see a problem, I have a friend who'd love to take some of them off my hands for me. Also, the Nitrates, Phosphates, Ammonia, etc. have all been 0. Corals always have full PE, and the fish are all swimming and eating! ^_^

 

[SpankythePyro]

nice!!! I'm sure the corals are happy with all the fish poo they can eat lol

 

[BrooksReef]

I'd hope so!!!


Okay, so GREAT news today! I never see my Purple Dartfish, and today he has been swimming mid-tank.

Some more pictures with a few FTS

 

[SpankythePyro]

oh thats just a baby tang! he couldn't be bigger than an inch!

 

[BrooksReef]

Yessir he is! <3 him! He is about an 1 1/2"-2"

 

[SpankythePyro]

haha I've come to the conclusion that all tangs are little tards. I bet he does some pretty goofy stuff doesn't he? My kole tang always does stuff for attention

 

[BrooksReef]

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, yet... But sometimes he does swim from one side of the tank to the other extremely fast for no apparent reason... and he seems to like his reflection. :S
