Tank looks spectacular!!

 

[bkwudzjeep]

Your tank is awesome!!! What type of tang is that?

 

[waterfaller1]

Thanks everyone! I am happy with how it turned out after the algae clean-up. The foxface has been working on the little bits I missed! Some of the red that you see is red coraline. That is a Bristletooth Tomini tang~Ctenochaetus tominiensis. I got him from Utah of all places.:lol:

Purple PIllow frag is growing very well!

Cool tank!!!
Love the clams.

I'm sure it looks better in person. I went by to drop off some coral a couple months ago and it looked nice and that blue mille is really sweet.

So...what are you trying to say Jay....my picture taking ability svx? Not all of us can afford $500 macro lens'.:lol2:

How old are your clownfish, and what is your current lighting setup? Colors look awesome! What type of algae outbreak did you have?

 

[waterfaller1]

Hi Bryan, the clowns have been with me since 03'. The lighting is 2X 250 Ushio 10 K MH's on a Blueline E-ballast, and 4 X 110 URI super actinic VHO's on an Icecap 660.
here is the algae story:

Very nice. Glad you got your algae problem figured out. I'm just about to upgrade to a 75g and just feeling out what the 75g reefkeepers are using nowadays. thanks for your time.

Why do women ALWAYS twist men's words around ? .
Pictures never do justice and I was trying to say it looks even better Macro isn't going to help the whole picture either slacker!

I really like your rock work and coral placement. Very nice Nice looking corals too. When your ready to frag I'd be willing to drive up to Orlando!

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks Chris!.
Jay, you know I was just busting your chops.

What kind of closed loop are you running?.....or is there a thread with more info on your tank....it's really nice!

 

[waterfaller1]

Thanks bkwudzjeep! No other thread..here.. But...Alot of what was done to this tank was afterthought and additions because this was our first tank and well..we did'nt have a clue! The closed loop is not ideal, as the tank is not drilled nor is the sump. But it works...it has a draw PVC that goes up and over the right rear corner{you can see it, it's the white one in the pics with the holes drilled in it}, to a Blueline 850, it returns through a SCWD and to 2 locline inputs in the back of the tank. The other system is the open/overflow system. It goes over the overflow, to a CS5-2 Euro-reef skimmer, then the water is picked up by a 1200 Blueline pump, it is teed off to the 29 gal. refugium..where it returns by gravity there{that is the white PVC on the left of the overflow box} the rest returns to the tank through another SCWD, and comes out the locline inputs in the front of the tank. The benefit of the SCWDs is I get water in all different directions.
