End of Jan my tank crashed and lost everything, this gave me a chance to start over. Here are some shots of what is happenining so far, tank is now 3 months old.

Not SPS but i like the pic of the sexy shrimp in the propogated s. giganta

Great pics! Do you have a FTS? You know someone has to ask for it.

Wow, very nice looking. Can you provide some details about your tank? I'm off to find the reboot button on my tank after looking at your corals.

Amazing looking tank. What happened to cause the tank to crash previously? You tank is almost the same size as mine. Mine being 48x24x18.

neighbours fumigated :mad2: this is it before the crash

Very nice looking. Won't take you love to it back to that. I see you have great taste in fish also. Funny I want a regal angel also. These zeovit systems are getting more and more tempting.

 

[ryanrid]

some updated shots i have taken over the past month or 2, still no FTS

[clowndude]

Very impressive. Can you give a detailed description of your setup? What lights and combo are u running?

 

[M007]

Awesome, congrats on the reload! :beer:

Nice setup. Your tank is 24 wide right? Does the 10 bulb spill over the light? Also you u have any pictures of your setup?

yep 24 wide, no spill but i can not keep zoos, acan or chalice anywhere in the tank unless under a ledge as they melt.The lowest PAR reading i am getting on the sand bed is 380 along the edges, with ~520 in the middle of the tank with new bulbs.

waht pics are you after?

 

[clowndude]

Wow, now that is some serious par. What is the par just below the fuxture?

I was curious to see pictures of the sump setup. Curious how u have the zeovit system running.

 

[ryanrid]

nothing special with sump, here is an older pic before the crash

but skimmer has changed since then, skimmer comparison

 

[clowndude]

Holy cow you have a ati fixture in your sump? Now I'm just down right jealous. Is the skimmer on the left the new one? Curious why you switched?

 

[ryanrid]

Sump had frag tank incorporated in it which has a 6x24w ati sp, yep that is the new one, I wanted to try a becket style skimmer which is recommended for the zeo system to improve colours.Have noticed no difference in the 3 weeks it's been installed

 

[clowndude]

Interesting, I would have thought you old skimmer would have been better? Sounds like there isn't any difference though from what you are saying. Your corals look really good in the pictures you posted. I better they grow fast with that ATI 10x54w fixture?
