Looking very nice. I like the area of the house its in looks very cool.

Very nice! What type of filtration and media are you using?

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

In the overflow I have a bag of carbon and a filter pad to get the gunk out. Out in the tank I have a mangrove.

I have the same tank and love it. Where are you placing heaters and such?

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

I have the heaters in the top right corner

 

[Foreverfishy]

love your tank...I have the same one and would like to see your filtration system setup..If you could provide pictures I would appreciate it!

 

[KChan]

Nice spot for the tank. It certainly draws your eye when you walk in.

 

[EAZ]

Please send pictures of the filtration

 

[ParanoidObseshn]

The "filtration" is just a square overflow. Water comes in the right side of it and in that first area I have carbon and my mangrove. Then I put in a filter pad and a filter sponge to capture any debris before the water goes to the return pump.

New Pictures. I mounted some of the corals today and I still have quite a few left.

Took some time today and mounted some of the corals. Still have quite a few left to do.

Blenny on his perch

Frag starting to color up, had to cut off a big chunk in the center because my blenny attacked it when I put it in the tank. Starting to encrust over the cut.

Another sps frag. Not sure what it is. Bluer on the tips and more green towards the base.

Some frogspawns I need to find places for.

Tank looks great!
No skimmer? How often are you doing water changes? Are you running any other media besides carbon? How many hours are you running your LED's for and at what % if they are dimmable?

Thanks! No I do not run a skimmer on the tank. With the water changes I do about 4-5 gallons a week and I only use carbon. The Blue LED's come on at 11:30 a.m whites at 12:00 and then whites turn off at 7:00 p.m and the blues turn off at 8:00. They are dimmable and I would say they are only set around 1/3 of their max settings.
