JonnyU's 135 Reef Tank

[jonnyu]

Well as you know I have been out of the hobby for little more than a year. So 2 weeks ago I started looking for a tank. Well I found on from a fellow RC member. Any ideas or comments or greatly appreciated.
Well here is the tank how it stands on September 12th in WPB before the move.

Then the move to Pembroke Pines

Well I decided to go with all new live sand and not go bare bottom.

Many here bought the Reef Radiance DM-132e. Its a dimmable full spectrum led unit on a budget. Think they were selling for around $150.00 before. Hard to beat the price for what you receive.

Was this the tank with the Black Tang? Good luck. Looking good!

What do you feel is better 3 of the DM-132e or Three Triple puck kits from Rapid Led?

Yes, :bounce3: the bad thing is it has lateral line :blown: it not to bad I have him in a QT tank eating and being treated to keep him from catching secondary infection. Here is a pic before I moved him.

I have to say a big thanks to Matt and Dave for helping get setup to treat him. Without there guidance I would have no idea how to treat him.

Lots of greens for that tang (nori) and lateral line should go away. You work for the county? I think I recognize those pants....lol.

 

[rovster]

Yeah, Matt helped me a bunch with that. I have a blue tang with HLLE, and with upping the greens and better diet, has mostly recovered. I say mostly, because there was some permanent fin damage. Kind of sucks, cuz looks all ratty, but other than that, its fat and happy with good colors

 

[jonnyu]

Well he is looking good swimming like crazy in that 20 gal QT tank. I'm planning on keeping there till the weekend. I think 1 treatment should be more than enough. I think he needs to be in a large tank swimming an eating good. So lets see. I will try to post a pic or two of him.

Well thinking of changing the sump out and making a new one. I really like extra reeflo pump and using larger lines. As the setup was all done in 3/4" lines using a mag 18 to flow is very restricted. I am thinking of going with a setup close to what Biggar has. Using 1.5" lines and making a manifold to supply everything.

Well worked on the tank a little today. Got a lot of stuff mounted to the wall and off the floor.

Well tank is not to bad since it's only been up and running a few days.
