Fishf00d 65 cube Mangrove reef

Fishf00d · Feb 16, 2016

65 tub, not a cube! I don't know what this tank will turn into but on Sunday morning this is what the tank looked like:

And this is what it looks like tonight:

I don't have any equipment at this point other than some t5 lights. I'm going to start it off with a canister filter and chemipure, phosguard and filter floss like my bc14. I intend to actually grow mangroves in the main tank. May move over my acans from my biocube since they don't like the flow or the light. Other than that we will see what happens.

So I started this and never followed up. I ditched the Mangrove idea and went right back to what this tank was set up as 5 yrs ago. SPS dominated.

I ditched the canister filter and went with a sump and skimmer. Added a SB reef lights 32in WiFi unit. Here is how things look today. Mostly SPS with some LPS and a few zoas at spots. Just kind of need to sit back and watch it grow. When this picture was taken thing have been set up and running for about 4 months with most of the sticks added in the last 2 months.

Here are a few of the sticks before they were mounted. There is an ORA Pearlberry, BC the Moth, Tyree Tierra Del Fuego, ORA Miami Orchid, Miyagi tort, Bubblegum Millie, Foster's Super Blue Tenuis, and Tubs Mystic Stag

Haven't posted here in a while so I'll put some updated pics in.

Here are some Anthias I added a couple months ago.

This guy is my favorite fish in this tank. I also have one in a biocube.

some random coral shots

Two other close up shots and a tank shot from the end. Wish I could capture the true color of my sps.

I could actually really use an Octo frozen food feeder. http://octoaquatics.com/octo-fff-frozen-food-feeder/

It could probably replace my floating food ring I have for my an this that catches food that is dropped from my auto feeder. I'm sure flakes and pellets would flow out of this feeder as well.

Haven't updated this in a while. I've since consolidated my biocube into this tank. When doing that my clownfish in the biocube brought something into the 65 that took out 2 of my resplendent anthias. Since then I've added a leopard wrasse and 2 green banded gobies.

I'll post a few recent pictures that I've taken.
