Elos 70 Anemone Tank

[96gts]

I'm slowly turning my Elos 70 55gal in my office into an Anemone tank with some LPS and Zoas. So far I have 3 rbta in there with 2 clowns, one of the rbta is the so called Sherman RBTA.

Attached are couple of pic.

Taken under Reefkoi Evolution LED Fxiture.

I'm working on a trade for one of this. And will also like to add a nice Green BTA.

I added a Green BTA today. I will also be adding a nice Japanese RBTA this weekend.

Yes, I'm still using the Elos sump and Skimmer, but I still can't get the skimmer dial in correctly.

This 1st pic has the Viper 14K 150W HQI Clamp-on. I still have not hang the LED yet, I took that pic with someone holding on to the LED fixture.

Do you have any pics of the Japanese RBTA? Would be interested to see what it looks like.

Honestly, it looks just like any RBTA. The color is a little richer. I was told they are collected in Japan, the guy I bought it from is a very reliable source.

It's a Elos 70, 55gal. about 30"x22"x20". I'm still using the Viper 150W clip-on, I still have not made a hanger to hang the LED fixture yet. With one of the LED fixture, it should be more than enough for what I'm keeping in this tank. I have no plan of having SPS in this tank.

I lost the GBTA and also both the clownfish. I think the gbta was already not in very good health when I got it as it will inflate and deflate every day and didn't want to eat when I fed all the other bta. As for the clowns, it was my fault for adding a fish into the tank w/o QT and it came down with ich and took down the clowns with it.

I have a pair of True Perc at home now in QT and will add them to this tank in my office in a few weeks. I added a Yahsa Goby to pair up with the Pistol Shrimp that came with the tank when I bought the tank. I didn't see it for couple of weeks and was writing it off, but finally saw it with the pistol shrimp this week. Also added some Acan frags.

I also changed out the stock Current 150W 14K bulb to a Phoenix 150W 14K, I still need to make a mounting arm to hang the LED fixture I got from Reefkoi.

Here's couple of quick pic I took today.
