My New Tank

[ccolt1]

I just bought this new to me tank. It is a 60 gal with a 10 Gal sump with a corner overflow with 2 incase one becomes plugged. I have a Berlin skimmer with a Rio 2500 pimp but would like to upgrade later. The skimmer is plumbed on the outside because it won't fit in the sump. I have corals in the tank and they include a Frogspawn,Hammer,Torch,Toadstool leather and a carpet leather,Brain,Tongue,Star Polyops and 2 different types of mushrooms and a sun coral. For fish I have a clown,Damsel,Cardnal fish and a Naso Tang but before anybody says anything I will take him to a pet store or a fellow reefer with a bigger tank. The tang came with the tank when I bought it and he is about 4" right now. For lighting it has a T5 setup with 2 different actinics and a single 250 w Metal halide setup in the hood. I have about 65 to 70 lbs live Figi rock with about 100lbs of live sand.I have a Blood shrimp a dozer lobster and a seahare and some sand sifting stars and a few hermits. I had to move the tank from 170 miles away and everything so far has made it!!!! Everything seems to be doing fine! These are the only pictures I can upload. I don't know how to resize my new pictures so they will upload??

I almost forgot but for powerheads I have a Vorteck MP10 and 2 Koralia powerheads as well as 2 returns coming from a SCWD 3/4 by the back corners. I only have one of the Koralia's going because I would like to see what my new MP10 will do. Thanks! and if anybody can help resize my pics I will have more.

Not tryin to be a jerk here, but i think you should put that tongue coral on the sand bed. Other than that the tank looks great!

 

[ccolt1]

Thanks!! We did try for a couple of days in the lower corner but it kept getting sand on it from a dozer lobster that is in the tank. When we got the tank a week ago the tongue seemed to show some of his skeleton but since we moved him higher up it seems like he is growing flesh and looking alot better. I know he is suppose to be on the sand bed but i'm alittle leary to try again until it is alittle healther. I'm glad to be back in the hobby again!
