Ok so here are a few pics of my newest best frined....My Reef Tank!
Started off with a 90g Marineland corner flow (I may go Peninsula in the future) Ruby 36 sump, Most all Ultra-Flex PVC piping, Octo 150 Classic, 2x Kessil 160 Tuna Blues, Sicce 950gph Return pump, (can NOT praise this pump enough, Sooooo quiet and adjustable) Ehiem 250gph for the GFO/Carbon reactor, Finnex LED fuge light.
I decided, well my wife decided for me, to Cure/Cycle Dry rock in the DT/Sump. Was very pensive about this as, from what I've read, it's old school and not as good, safe as Curing the rock in containers.
Having said that, looks like I got lucky as everything is going so much more smoothly than I could ever have hoped for.
Start date of the tank was April Fools day....yeah, nearly delayed a day firing it up lol
Without droning on here....One thing I'm really amazed at is, when I ordered my CuC, they gave me a frag of a Flower pot coral (Goniopora sp), this guy has just taken off growing! Came totally flat, but the second day, it was in about 1" extension mode. Now a week later, it's moved down the sides of the square plug, and has 5 or 6 new polyps around the edges, will soon be attaching itself on the rock past the plug....this is Sooooo Cool.
Have 2 Baby Tank raised Percula and one TR ocellaris clownfish , 2 Skunk cleaners, 1 Lawnmower blenny, A paired Watchman gobi and a Randalli Pistol shrimp (Have not spotted either since day 1, bumms me out, but long as they are safe and happy...all good. ), A Massive carpet anemone, Pepermint shrimp and a silver dollar sized Purple BTA.
So here are a few pics from leak test to today. Thanx for viewing....Happy Reefing!
