CEE Tank Pics

Here are a few pics I took of Daves tank at the meeting Saturday.

These are not that good due to the fact that i had to get what I could in the middle of the day. So there are reflections and dave didnt scrape the glass good!

These were rough to get due to the bow front of the nano.

Beautiful work with the camera and very nice tanks, too One of these days I would like to come over and take a look at the real thing.

Dave - you seem to have relatively small amount of live rocks in the 125 wide judging from the picture. How much do you have? I have been contemplating on rearranging my tank to give more room for my fast growing SPS's. Do you mind telling me about your SPS tank set up?

I have no idea how much LR, but it's about 20 lbs. less now. My philosophy is minimal rock touching the bottom, so I use as much Tonga branch as possible and build off of that. Now everything is just "floating" and I get better circulation throughout. I think you can get by with less if you have good circulation. When I took it all apart yesterday, there really wasn't too much detritus for the ~2 years+ the tank's been setup. However, I do siphon it weekly into a 100 micron sock.

Oh, and Rev, I don't even recognize some of my own corals! Your macro shots are amazing! Must be that fancy lens.

Thanks, Dave. How much flow do you have? I recall that you have 250W MH bulbs over your tank. How far up off the water surface do you have them located?

Flow--I recently calculated that for somebody and think I came up with like 80X turnover, which puts me just shy of 10,000 gph total, incl. returns. I run 3 250W Reeflux 10k's on the new CV ballasts, which some claim are close to HQI in output. I don't disbelieve it; the fragged portions of my blue corals are branches that got fried when I made the switch They're like 10" off the water surface, but right now they're closer to 15 to allow me to re-aquascape.

Geez Dave, got a thing for Acans and Micros? Very nice tank...as always though.

Other Dave, what camera/lens are you using? I've been debating getting an actual macro lens lately versus the little screw-on caps I have...PM me or something.

Hey the camera is a Rebel XT with the Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro.
