Emerald525's 150 gallon SPS tank

[emerald525]

I have been perusing this site for a while and realized I have never posted anything about my tanks. I have 4. The newest SPS dominated tank is my favorite at the moment. This tank has been set up since January of this year. As you can see it hasn't taken me long to fill it up as I'm kind of a nut!:tongue: I am liking the 8 bulb ATIpm. I was worried about not having the MH shimmer but I really like the look of it and I am getting amazing growth.

Hey Kim, really nice tank. I switched to T5s recently and love them too. I see you have some really nice wrasses, can you post a fish list. What are you doing for Cal/Alk? Hows the temperment of the Square Anthias? My female is getting to be kinda mean lately. Your corals look great, cant wait to watch em grow.

Thanks Brett. The Square box anthia unfortunately didn't make it. For cal/alk I do 3 part dosing (mg, calcium, alk). I did get a little wrasse crazy lol but could not pass up the good deal on a couple of them.

I have a flame fairy wrasse, another fairy wrasse of some sort not sure which one, melanarus and leopard wrasse. My favorite is the Linneatus (bright orange fins) supermale but he is the king of the tank and I cannot add any more wrasses because he has gotten a little aggressive with them.

I also have a picasso clownfish and a Tomini tang. The flame fairy wrasse is quite tame and let's you touch it.

Thanks Lee! They are doing great! If you look closely you may be able to recognize them on the top frag rack in the back. I have been so busy. I have not had a chance to glue them down! LOL!

Sorry to hear about the Anthias. The other fairy looks like a Balteatus or Girdled wrasse.

Thanks. This is the bulb combo I used. T5 bulbs have come along way. I love the ATIs!

I have 5 ATI Blue Plus, 2 ATI purple Plus and 1 ATI Aquablue special.
