LPS Tank done Right

[Hurgoth]

I'm sorry if you have already posted this, but what lights are you using? T5's?

Beautiful Tank.

Hey great tank love all the corals. Can you tell me some of the corals that would be for beginners like me.

 

[ReefMonger]

A couple of updates

I had to increase my lighting due to some corals bleaching. I was only running the daylight t-5s 2 hours a day. I since have increased it to 6 hours and corals are coming back

I added a gorgeous Purple Velvet Wrasse

Some shots after a slurry of Coral Frenzy and Oyster eggs soaked in Selcon for a little target feeding action

Well I redid the rock work and Im slowly going to be getting rid alot of my frags to let things grow in. The new rockwork actually has 3 over hanging jutting out into the tank. I need to get better pics of that. But here it is

Before

After

Sweet! What are you gonna do with all the old frags?

 

[Swanwillow]

yup, I like the new look a LOT better.

you can always e-bay the frags you don't want, or sell them here

Very nice aquascaping. Just an idea, but you might want to consider some 'short' rocks in front of the larger structure that would allow you to keep some of your very favorite frags without destroying your clean look.

Loco gato!

Looks like you already need a larger tank.

Here a few other pics that show the over hangs a little better.

Now I have to decide on a school of Anthias for the tank

That is so sick!!!! Dude that would have costed some big bucks, is that seriously a 90G tank? And where in the world do you get a yellow and red (especially) plates? I bet those are as costly as aussie acan.

 

[ReefMonger]

Thanks alot for the compliments. I havent updated my profile its a 180 gallon not a 90.
The yellow plate was by chance and the red was searching for over 2-3 years

 

[ReefMonger]

Some new shots

 

[adddo]

Wow is all i can say!

 

[taithao35]

I like the paly right after the acan. Is that Paly has the name?

Your tank is amazing and gorgeous. Keep up with the great work and looking forward for all your frags to grow into colonies.

 

[coraldiva]

If its the orange/pink palys I call them nuclear sunshines not sure what the official trade name is lol

 

[ReefMonger]

I will have some new corals in the tank tonight including this peice

 

[05TurboS2K]

i think maybe I have too much flow... My sand always moves around and creates little piles ... I couldn't have frags on the bottom like that.

Is your octopus skimmer a DNW 150 OR 200 and have you done any mods onto it?
