[Jflip2002]

Nice sixty.... thats an awesome tank, especially to have one hat nice locally.

 

[Reefer Brian]

Great pics and growth. Can you tell us some more about the equipment/corals. How long has it been setup? Awesome....

 

[sixtygallon212]

Thanks guys for the compliments. As for the tank, It has been set up for two years. Some of the corals came from my previous tank which was a sixty gallon. The tank is a euro brased starfire tank made from leemar.

 

[dustinP]

what two tangs are those?

 

[IPT]

beautiful.

 

[sixtygallon212]

The tangs are both bristle tooth tangs. One is a chevron tang and the other I am not sure, but I have seen him labeled as a fine line tang on liveaquaria.

Thanks for the frags Craig, don't forget the few frags I helped out with in the beginning tank is looking great as always.

 

[sixtygallon212]

Thanks Brian. I sent you a PM about the candy. You did give me some nice corals and I appreciate that.

 

[imisky]

any tank specs?

 

[elias123]

very nice!

 

[SunnyX]

Beautiful. Great job! :thumbsup:

What are the system Spec? (Skimmer, Lighting, additives, etc.)

 

[Capt_Cully]

I'd have to say that's pretty spectacular!

 

[60Cubed]

Sweet tank! Love the efflo.......

 

[sixtygallon212]

Some of the equipment I use is:
Skimmer: Euro Reef 8-2 (not state of the art anymore but I love the guy)
Lighting: Has a three stage lighting system with T-12's for 12hrs a day, T-5's for 10hrs a day, and two 250watt halides for 6hrs a day running pheonix bulbs.
I love the look of a dense fish population, so my tank is set up in that fasion. I have a lot af flow in the display, a 20gal refugium, and a 10gal prop tank all attached together. The overfiltration and consistant weekly water changes allow me to feed a lot and keep the fish I want to keep. Plus all the nutrients and low amounts of waste in the system seem to work well with growth and color of the coral. I will try and post some more pictures of the filtration of the tank soon.
