My 90 still kinda new. Started in April 2007. Lots of trouble in the beginning, finally moving along ......slowly.

 

[Ziggy953]

WOW those are some awesome looking tanks. Here are a few of mine.. When I moved my tank about 2 feet we decided to redo the rockwork as well and my wife came up with this design and I absolutely love the way it looks.

your wife should go in the business of reefscaping:smokin:

Great growth of sps's--what lighting and flow do you have?

Thanks! I have dual 175 MHs with 220VHO actinics and I just added for a little more pop a daul 54w T5 setup. As for flow it is reduced a little bit right now. I have about 1100gph return from my sump, and dual tunze nanostream 6025s (660gph). I had a closed loop on the tank with a SCWD and a Mag7 running that but the SCWD crapped out on me a couple of weeks ago and I havn't replaced it yet. Other then the ORA frags that I have in the tank all the SPS were less then $10 and very small when I got them. The tank will be 3 Feb 1st, and I put the first coral in the tank 2.5 years ago. I was without corals for the first 6-7 months.

Will be moving the setup in about a month so most corals / fish have been moved / in holding at friends but this gives you idea of rock scape.

Still in-work

This is still in-works.

 

[Ziggy953]

Very cool Mike! I like the minimal look of the stand and lighting setup. Very cool. Is that a RBTA???

its nice to see what can be done with 175 MH's I have allways felt that my lighting has limited the raising of sps corals esp the colourful ones. I am actually trying one for the first time right now to see what happens:

beautiful tank--really interested in more fish now and I haven't put too much energy into learning fish so this is a very basic question
what's the pink and yellow fish--bartlett, wrassa or anthias

LOL I guess you gotta learn sometimes

 

[Ziggy953]

It is a Bartlett anthias I believe.

If you notice in my tank all of my SPS are high in the tank and they get maximum light. I have a couple frags that are lower in the tank and are doing well but the ones that are highest are just amazing. With your tank being a 120 tall you will want those SPS up high as well.

I'm planning on adding a Tang in the near future and a Black Cap Basslet if I can find one. What does eveyone think? Any suggestions for future improvements? I'd like to get a little more color and am considering a switch to 14K bulbs...or maybe change the T12's with T5's...not sure.

 

[Ziggy953]

Beautiful!!! I'm glad you listened to capn!! That Valida is awesome! I would love to have some of that!!!!!!!!!

 

[ToTaLCHaoS13]

Ya, I am very proud of the Valida. Hard to believe it was a $20 frag I bought on a whim while picking up a fish from a guy! Here is a shot of the tank about a year ago. You can see the Valida in the same location back then...
