Shallow reef tank Club

[username in use]

yeah, sorry about that. I use the gel type, it holds on much better and you can create a little collar around the base of the coral to give it some stability as it latches on.

OK...
I have sand in the tank.
I just got the tank filled with SW.
I put a few pieces of live rock in.
I added my "new to me" ASM-G3 recirculating skimmer
I built my light rack ( no lights yet)

No major problems ....yet

Thanks for looking

Here we go:

Nice size. Lots of sand.

What kind of bin is that feeding your sump. The black one that looks to have a molded spillway. Very cool.

Its a 30 or so gallon pre-formed pond, I think most people use them to add a tier to there ponds...if i keep it (im on the fence about it..) i will be using it as a fuge. I liked that it was pre formed, and also that it had the spill way But it takes up a decent amount of floor space, and i just got a 55 gallon water barrel that i need to put somewhere down there.

The top tier will be softies/lps (lower flow corals), and the bottom will be high flow corals (mostly sps). T5's all the way, and that is also why the bottom does not have any substrate. Ive read about the difficulty of high flow in shallow tanks with substrate...i dont want to deal with that lol.

I am the 3rd or 4th owner of this tank, that I know of.
I believe it was a custom built originally.

Yes it is pine. Still need to stain it but wanted to wait untill I have mounting locations for everything.
