Not really looking for an answer here, but what tin the works must you do to afford to keep this going.......

I'm a secret agent..shhhhh, don't tell anyone

Took some iPhone pics tonight, came out OK, I'm not going to admit to how many photos I actually took, the first 3 are corals I got from an Indo package, they are starting to color up nicely

Thank you, Here's an Equipment list

Maxpect 420R 300w x4 on the main tank and 1 on the frag tank
Skimmer - Aquamaxx Cone 7
Flow - Vortech MP60 x 2 and a Koralia 19w magnum, return pumps are Fluval SP4 x 2
Super Reef Octopus 5000D Calcium Reactor
CAD Light BR2 Bio Pellet Reactor
and I just added a Two Little Fishies Kalk Reactor to my ATO

Awesome systems! One question about the monster tank and its filtration. How are you able to control your phosphate and nitrate levels with a giant skimmer and water changes? Are you using refugium, GFO, carbon, or biopellets?

Thank you....I do have a biopellet reactor but I'm not sure if I'm getting any benefit out of it, I haven't run anything on my systems except for a skimmer for many years now, I just decided to try the pellets to see what the fuss was all about...I just do weekly water changes and keep parameters stable

Thanks for the reply, all I can say is wow really impressed with such a cracking set up.

Wonderful systems !

What rock do you have ?
How deep of sand and what do you have for sand cleaners ?
What do you feed the fish, how much and how many feeeding per week ?
Any additives ?

I would like to see more detailed photo's of your filtration system and write more in details !
What is your husbandtry routine ?

DETAILS PLEASE ! :xd:

High regards,

Kevin

WOW!!! I think if I had to die and come back as a fish I would want to live in your reef! Awesome job. Can't wait to see more.

Thank you and sorry for the delay, I have been out of town

Its a combination of live and Carib Sea base rock....most of it was the dry base rock, I cemented it with Marco Cement and then just added some live rock here and there after it all went in the tank and the coraline spread amazingly fast. The sand bed is 2-4", depending on what area of the tank it is, the powerheads dictate that. I have 3 sand sifting stars starfish and dozens of Nasarius Snails. I feed the fish Rod's Fish only blend and Spirilina enriched brine/mysis cubes, I feed twice a day. I manually dose Magnesium time to time, other than that I just let the kalk and calcium reactor handle supplementation. I perform 75g water changes every week, clean the skimmer once a week and change filter socks 3 times a week. Every couple of months I go in with a long handle scraper and get the hard stuff that doesn't come off with my algae magnet and I just scraped the back glass for the first time, that was fun! I'll take some more pictures of the equipment and get them up soon.

I'm sorry if I missed it, but which salt are you using?

Wonderful tanks btw! The dimensions of the 720 are close to what our next tank is going to be, just a little shorter. 36" deep is a must though!

Thank you, I'm using instant ocean....man, 32" is tough enough to work on, 36" would be rough....it would look awesome though!

Sorry, I was meaning:
36" - 40" deep front to back... I'm thinking more like 24" to 27" tall at max! I hate tall tanks, I have medium arms!

 

[RacinJason]

Gotcha, that will be a nice size
