Our 150g Mixed Reef.. :)

[Reef1589]

So ive showed off my 65g shallow tank quite enough, figure i would show off mine and my brothers 150g tank, powered by 2 400w MH's with a LeD Strip..=]

idk if you guys remember awhile back that carbon recall post i made, and how i said that our 75g Crashed, and that Kent Marine actually wrote us a check for the damages that happened... (pretty much killing everything in our 75g) well this is the result, we replaced the 75g with a 150g Acrylic Tank, Custom Made Stand/Canopy.. this just shows that even when a disaster strikes, you can always bounce back with a little help from friends =]

this is what the tank looks like now =] its bout 4-5 months old and not looking to bad imo, But let me know what you guys think!

[Bretts05jeep]

Wow! Very nice. That must have been a good check.

 

[Reef1589]

imo they handled the situation very well, it wasnt as much as you may think, but it did help with the recovery process a little bit

 

[madadi]

where did you get this coral from

 

[Reef1589]

its a pagoda cup, it grown adecent amount since we first got it, one of the few things to survive the tank crash, bought it from petland in rockford... i think its a fairly easy coral to get ahold of

 

[madadi]

i had one as a hitchhicker on some live rock and sold it on here i thought that might have been it. grew it from one polyp and it was about your size haha. great tank.

[jeemann99]

Nice anemone. That's the one I'm looking for. Where did you get yours

 

[Fatso_TRE]

I got it off a guys who took a 400Gallon tank down in a bar to put up a TV. I have a Blue and purple

 

[Kribs]

[ctazmartin]

Wow, I can't believe that tank is here in town.
