My 90 gal....pics

[MIKE NY]

It's been running about 10 years with many changes from CC to DSB and now a BB...some saw it during our tank tours a couple of years ago. The tank has changed alot since then due to battles with red bugs, nudis, pyramid snails,hair algae and I wouldn't wish this on my worst reefing enemy...LOL, Dinos! ...which took well over six months to eradicate. The tank is finally looking like a reef again with growth and colors coming back..and yes my avatar is still alive thankfully, but lost that coloration......

Your corals look a little bleached, your temp ok?

love that powder blue by the way! amazing color.

 

[MIKE NY]

saltycreefer... the temp is good and stable...during the summer months it's 82*and now until spring it's 78*...they look better in person..cheap camera
Kev...thanks... I've had that PBT for years and I have received a few PM's from people who wanted a pic of it...varied diet with lots of greens and strong, open water keeps it happy

Mike, your going with the remote DSB in the refugium and the main tank is BB am I correct? How's that working out for you? I'm thinking of doing that with my new tank.

Remote deep sand bed

Remote deep sand bed

Mike I'm doing that also I have a 120 Gal BB and have a 40 gal with a 6" deep bed. Is that similar to what you are doing.What depth is the bed?is it lit with algae or do you keep it dark with only sand?

 

[MIKE NY]

thanks guys..yea my fuge has a DSB about 4-5"s well planted with some LR including stuff from our collection trips lit by LOA 65 watter. It has half of my overflow going directly down to it with about 800 gph going through it. My fuge is becoming more interesting to watch than my tank with shrimps, snails, crabs, hermits, fish and even a serpant.....

Tank's looking good Mike. I'm about to shut mine down and start again.
I hope that this time around it looks more like yours does.

Salty, I think the bright color is coming from the 10k bulbs. Mine has the same effects.

Mike, looking good.

What's the yellowish coral on the bottom? Sun polyps?

Looking good Mike!

 

[onegreenray]

mike,

are you using the old style or the new style cv 10ks? i like the older style better then there new ones.

 

[MIKE NY]

thanks again guys...
Romain...yea the 10ks do make photography harder, but my camera sucks too...LOL. The yellow corals on the bottom right are polyps that are isolated on their own islands so they don't spread all over..

Ray...not sure...I think they are the new style because I only got them less than a month ago from Tony. They give a nice blue/white light( the XMs I had before were alot brighter) and I don't even need actinics, but I like the dawn/dust effect because they are different timers.
