Hello all!

This is my new tank tour picture posting thread. I have been reefing for almost one year and its been so rewarding!

I have battled green cyano for two months and then red for 4 months but once I stopped over feeding and ran the reactor all things have cleared up.

I had ich before my QT set up and the host clown wiped my tank with in days of his introduction. I have 4 more weeks to let the parasite die in the DT before my first QT fish is ready for introduction.

I have a modded Red Sea Max 130D (34 gallon) tank.
An MP10 Vortek power head
Tunze 9002 skimmer
Custom Steve-T collection cup for skimmer
Custom Steve-T media basket holding mech filter, Chemi Pure, and Purigen
A JBJ Temp controller
Stealth Heater
TLF 150 Reactor rolling Rowa-Phos

I also maintain a quarantine tank and a hospital tank at all times

This was picked up from fellow member David, its my only SPS due to the lights I have, think she (yes all my coral are girls) will make it?

Thank you, rylan,and vitalapparatus!

RogueX I use the stock 54 watt T5 PC's that come with the tank. I would say that I get good coral color more from my highly selective purchases of the live stock than the lighting. Even with the best light brown is brown and pasty colors are just that...mostly ;)

I can't wait till I can build a big reef tank with some high end lighting like AI Sol LED systems and start to keep SPS!
