thankyou Melanie.

Unbelievable OMG. Those three tanks inline in the fist pic are just……. lets see one word………… impressive……. no spectacular. I love how the one in the middle is recessed back looks neet. Not sure how I missed the original thread. Just out of curiosity how much maintenance is there a week on your system?

Awesome wall of aquariums you have there. Must be something to sit in that room and look at them all the time. Is this your living room or a dedicated fish room?

 

[GMaquarium]

Tom you are doing a great job with those tanks.

 

[alphaferret]

I totally agree-that is impressive. You have made it look easy and in the first pix there is nothing to give perspective on how large that is until I noticed the chanderlier(sp). Love the recessed tank and is that all one stand? Love the coral specific tanks and the mixed-Great combos.

Very nice.

[talon4x4]

Wow!!! Everything looks amazing!!

Thanks everyone.
To answer a few questions raisied above. The display(3tanks;120/90/89 gallons) is 11 feet long and is on the dining room wall. The dining room has lots of sunlight and is an open room linked and viewable from the family room and kitichen. The stands in shadow in the photos are identical and butt together giving the appearance of a single unit.

Thanks for the nice words.

Maintenance is about an hour a day now; some days less: feeding 2x per day; vodka/ vinegar dosing; 1% water change daily, cleaning 1x per week(pretty easy now since carbon dosing); daily read of monitors and testing certain parameters; keeping track of gfo and gac changing as needed. Once every week or so , I harvest chaeto, do some fragging , detritus siphoning here and there and whatever else comes up.

There are 8 tanks, the 3 displays and four frag tanks and an independent 65 g for xenia, capnella, dicoma, etc and some "non reef safe" fish . There are also two chaeto refugia, two sumps, an rsdb, so for all that the chores seem pretty minimal now.

Thanks again, I've had the Tyree watermelon for several years. It grew from a very tiny frag. There are a variety of wrasses ,including:chirrhilabrus, macropharyngodon,halichores,etc. I don't keep pseudocheillinis; they just don't play nice. The maroon wrasse with the yelloish green striped head in the picture before the watermelon is a radiant wrasse( halichoeres iridis) .The orange fish are squampinis anthias.
