300 Gallon Reef-O-Matic: 5+ years!

Nice tanks, can I ask what model your Kessil fuge light is on the 350 Fuge? Does it grow chaeto well?

It is a kessil H80, it is too soon to know how well it grows chaeto. I will know in a few months :)
 
That’s a beautiful tank and thanks for the great pictures and write up, very nice!
 
Can’t believe that’s foam! Great job by whomever made it.

Tangs in a 300ml, how dare he! LoL

Thank you, I have put MANY hours into this tank so far. Hopefully now it is time to just sit back and watch things grow!
 
Eating like crazy! I am going through 7 4x6" sheets of nori a day, as well as 4 cubes. I put nori on both sides of the tank, the three larger ones tend to eat together and then the smaller blue tang eats alone on the other side. No signs of ich so far @4FordFamily , really hoping I dodged that bullet! Just feeding them till they pop :confused:

It is technically a hybrid powder blue tang, as described here:

Nice video and excellent looking batch of fish! I'm so jealous! :)
 
Just placed an order with @Corals.com . I've never purchased from there before. A little nervous, but the photos are all excellent with none of that actinic/orange filter stuff.

So excited!

Very Tastefully done. Love the light neutral color and rock look.
What is the actual material used for stand and canopy?

It was a craigslist find man- so I dont have any "true" answer for you. From my experience handling and drilling it, it is some sort of foam that was wet-stamped and painted. But it looks totally natural; the "holes" and stuff go really deep. I have a reasonable amount of experience with various manufacturing, and this blows my mind.

Looking forward to following this build Harry Potter! ;)

Thank you sir! I think I am done with additions for a bit while the wallet recovers from that Corals.com order. So now is time to finish up the left side scape (with acrylic/rock columns), mount corals, and keep the water as textbook as possible to get good growth!

I thought it was nice to start a thread after the cycling period, so I would have everything available for readers :)
