Show Me Your 4ft Tanks!

Mike,

Great tank. My 90 is setup the same as yours. (side drain..ect)
Some questions -
11 months and all that growth! How did you get all that coraline? (i'm assuming your dosing alot?)
Is that four power heads? (looks like corners pointing to the center?) How do you get stuff off the sand/back wall? Seems like you need something mid/low?
Are you running a sock?

Hi, thanks for the comments. The Coraline just started growing a couple of months ago. Only thing I do is use kalk in my ATO once a week, if that. I have two powerheads, in the pic they are both koralias - but I've since replaced the one on the right with a Jebao WP40. Both are on the back glass and point, generally, toward the front center of the tank. My return has two nozzles, one points toward the front and the other I have turned to flow behind the rocks across the tank. Yes, I do run a filter sock and change it out weekly. I'm using red sea coral pro salt and do water changes every couple of weeks - about 20g.
 
Here is my newly setup DSA 105, transfer from a 57

Do I see a Collare butterfly in a reef? That is super cool....any issues with picking at corals?

Yes that's a Chaetodon Collare (Pakistani Butterfly). The fish is simply gorgeous and I had to have one. So far he only nips at the underside of LR, has not touched any coral. He also eats frozen brine shrimp like every other citizen.
 
For some reason can't seem to get multiple pictures in one post. Pic with piano canopy open with lights on sunset phase
