Members Tanks

Here is my tank. 140 Reef Savvy, basement sump, 3 Radions, 2 mp 40's and Reeflo Goby return. Sorry for the bad pic...cell phone shot. I can't get good pictures with the LEDs.

cummon guys where's the rest?
 
As some of you know...
We downsized from a 75 gallon to two 40 gallon breeders. Then the two breeders downsized to a 30 gallon due to my mother moving in with us.

The dust settled and we were able to get a 93 gallon reef ready cube (from That Pet Place). The tank and the base were on sale PLUS a 15% off coupon :dance:

93 gallon was setup on 6-15-13.
6/27/13 all live stock added. Photo was taken shortly after livestock was added.
Now, a month later and everything is coloring up very nice and growing like a weed!

It was very risky to move everything to the new tank in such a short time but diligence and maintenance really paid off. I did not loose any corals or fish in the process.

We now have a lot of room for our corals to really grow out. Not to mention to add more corals (and color) to our existing stock.

FYI. glass lid is usually open and not closed as seen in the photo.

 
Recently added 50 pounds of dry rock (reefcleaners.org) to the tank. I could not get very creative on the aquascape. This is due to the current rock and, even more so, the corals that are in the tank already. It ended up being more of a rock slope from the back to the front. I would have loved to do something more clever but the corals seem to love the location that they are in. I did not want to change that.

In addition to the MP40, there are now two Hydor koralia 3 pumps for water circulation.

Another recent addition is a Marineland aquarium system crescent curved 5 gallon system with led light. I installed two bulkheads... one for the drain and the other for the water feed. It is seeded with Amphipods & Copepods. I also have a small clump of cheato in there for them to play on (more so to breed upon).

Snails and more snails. There are snails everywhere thanks to the order I received a few weeks back from reefcleaners.org
John is a great person to deal with and I highly suggest him and his company for not only the snails but the dry rock as well.

Awaiting some supplies to arrive so I can make a drip unit to add kalkwasser. These items are to arrive to me by weeks end. Depends on how things go in the future it may need to be upgraded to a two part solution. Only time will tell.

Lastly, I would like to add that the corals are coloring up and look great. I will post some photos as soon as I can.
