New to RC

[Gold Flake]

Hi all,

Iam new to Reef Central from the Uk.

I have a 4ft 90g LPS/SPS tank.

Lighting, 6x54w ATI sunpower,
Skimmer, ATI bubblemaster 200,

But tomorrow i will be transfering everything over to my new 66x20x24 tank.

.

Lighting, will be 8x80w Power module.

I have been looking on this forum for a while now and i thought its about time i joined since it is a great site.
Hopefully one day i will have a amazing sps tank like the ones on here.

Any more info just let me know.

Will

WOW you're 90 is fabulous! I have a few questions, if you don't mind.

How long did it take you to grow it to such beauty? What's your fish stocking?

And last but the most favorite!! ANY more close up shots of fish or corals??!!

Thanks for the warm welcome and the kind comments.

Here you go Korrine.

Its been running 18months but it started out with soft corals, I went on to sps and lps in april, thats when i added the ati light unit, calcium reactor, So it has taken 7 months to get where it is.

Fish stock, Vampire, Yellow, Purple, Kole Tang. Flame Angel, Coral Beauty, Goldflake Angel, 2 common Clowns, Humbug Dansel, Manderin, Royal Gramma, 2 Lyretail Anthias.

I think thats it, the 90 is a little over stocked but i only have just added the Purple, Vampire Tang and the Goldflake Angel.

Thanks for looking.

wow thanks for the info. You've done well in a short period of time

Thanks for the pictures too! I can't get enough of pictures. I especially like the brain and lps shots. Lps is my favorite.

If I remember right, I think Goldflakes are hard to keep? How did you go about acclimating it to aquarium life? Thanks so much!!

Thanks all,

The goldflake was in my LFS 6 weeks so it was well settled in, it was either the flake or a regal angel, which are even harded to keep.

Swapped every thing over to the new tank yesterday.

A few problems to say the least, My old man dropped the sump, luckly only chipped the corner. packed it up well with lots of silicone. I will do a water test later. One of my drain pipes had a small leak, drained the weir and again lots of silicone.
Thought every thing was sorted, but the fans on my ati PM dont work.
Cant get anything done till after christmas.

Hopefully i will get the sump up and running tomorrow and when the water clears more i will put some pics on.

Again thanks Will
