The Plate Garden

[k4ndyk1ng]

Hi my name is Toby and I am very young, im 16 now. I hope you follow this tank along...

First big reef rank, I have kept picos in the past with great success. This tank is a 60g 48"x24"x12"h so very shallow. Due to this it will be BB with super high flow, right now I am running 150x turnover
Anyway, I have some mangroves arriving soon and they will be going along the back of the DT because it is so shallow. The sump will be setup in the next few weeks.

Hey Toby, i like the dimensions of your display matey. What type of lighting are you running over the reef.
I take it that the water level is down until you have the sump online. Plate Garden - sounds cool, what 'plating' stuff do you mean.

I have t5s will get you the bulb combos later. The water line is low because the sump isn't running yet, it should be done within the next week. By plating stuff I mean monti caps and stuff like that.

Got 2 new fish 2 days ago. They are yellowstripe cardinalfish. They have settled in well and eat like pigs.
