Just thought I would share some new pictures I took tonight. Tell me what you think?
Wish I could get rid of that red bubble algae.........oh well hoping to cover it with zoanthids or star polups.
For lighting I have 4 T5 24 watt bulbs SLR reflectors.........no fan.
For flow I have 2 auquaclear 30 powerheads. 1 has a rotating head attachment the other is just normal. I also have a 10 gallon refugium below being pump up to the top by a mag 5 for additional flow. I also use a hang on top overflow to bring water to the refugium. The refugium has a 7watt bulb on it. (i know skimpy lighting, so far for almost a year I have got good enough growth, had to thin it out twice since in production.) I do have a charcoal bag in my overflow to help out.
I don't use a skimmer.
As you can see my setup is pretty cheap and basic. I like not seeing my powerbill change with the introduction of my tank. Of course I still like being able to keep the good stuff.
I currently have in my tank
sps = blue tort, birdsnest, green acropora of some type, pavona (red) psnammacora (green) orange cap, green slimer
lps = Torch, frogspawn, hammer coral, trumpet coral
softies = toadstool, 4 differrent types of mushrooms, 3 types of ricordia, pulsating xenia, sinulara, 15 differrent type of zonathids, green star polups
fish = 2 clown fish, 1 royal gramma, 1 Target manderin
other = clam, carpet anemomes
using about 70-80lbs of live rock between the 29 gallon and the 10 gallon refugium. Deep sand bed in both tanks.
