Just got my 120 glass 5ft re-setup in Nevada County to be a zoe / play /softie anem / lps mixed reef; currently lit by 20k mh
Fu man chu lion is my fav so far ...

Going to set up a 60-100g rimless sps soon after the 120 is to my liking, also have a 20gL frag tank;

Just set up the algae scrubber; the sc302 is in need of repair ... has a phosban / carbon a well ... wc 5% every 2 weeks ...
Getting an led from buildmyled.com to replace my t5's ...

Just did some yearly cleaning, protein skimmer is acting up ... I need one more led bar for the 120 ... thinking about ways to keep alk, calc, and mag more inline but my red sea test kit seems PITA ...

hmmm looks like coral food tonight ....

I wont even put in my hand in the tank this week .... I swear she draws blood through gloves now ...

 

[sfbayview]

I just got a stary blenny and orange goby from yourreef ...

The goby jumpped out of the qt through a quarter opening .... my luck ... the blenny so far just stars at me in his hole and wont swim around or eat ....

Tank looks great ... been guess dosing for alk mag and cal ...

Noticed if alk is to low my zoes nem look like **** ....

If my mg is low no Coraline growth

Added calcium and my test sps came back to life ...

I'm surprised no one else has commented on this thread :spin1:

Your system is looking very nice and happy! I especially like that blue 'shroom with the green skirt...

Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Thanks !!! I live on remote hill with a beautiful view of sac ... so only my family really gets to see my tank ... as not many visitors
The blue with green is actually a mini maxi anem ... I plan on adding 2 or 3 more eventually ...

Hopping to take a good look at the blenny tonight and see if he is 100% healthy been eating the last 5 days ...

Just added a 4 bulb t5 48" ho to the 200 watts of led ... noticed allitle more algae growing on the back glass but less on the sandbed or rocks ... only filtration on this tank is a 15 gallon sump with a 50 watt 6500k led growing chatto and a swc 302 ...

I do about 3 water changes a year as needed about 10 gallons each ...
