Thought i would post some pics of my reef tank, and keep track of it,
The tank was wet on the 29/7/14,
I have only been reefing for around 4 years. Everyday i wonder what i am doing, spending every dollar and spare minute working or thinking about a fish tank, but you only have to sit back and enjoy the view to realise its worth it. There is something about growing a colony from a frag that just does it for you.
Tank specs,
Tank; 1500x1200x600 starfire with eurobrace
Stand; Custom made timber stand with spotted gum cladding. light good is the same.
Sump; I have a 5x2 sump behind the tank, I am also running a 4x2 fuge,
Lighting; I run two 8tube 54w ATI power Modules, two 150w Giesmann halides and 2 Kessil 360w for the blue.
Flow; four Tunze 6105, and a closed loop using a panworld.
Skimmer; Royal exclusive double cone 250. as well as that i have the Bashsea twisted skimmer 6-26 running just to supplement
System type; I started with a mixed reef, however i have slowly removed the LPS, to go for a more sps dominate tank. I just have the odd piece of LPS that i couldn't go past. I am aiming for a clean and natural system, the only reactors i run is rowaphos, outside of that i rely on my live rock, DSB and macro to filter the water. I am still trying to work out if that is enough to keep a healthy tank long term.
