Roscoe's packed 40b

[roscoe]

I thought I would share some pics of my packed 40b and contents before it comes down and everything is in the 270g DT.

Here are some FTS and other tank shots.

Thanks.... yeah 95% of the stuff in this little tank was grown from 1/2''-1 1/2'' frags. I got the ORA GGBPA from a some what local guy in Portland Oregon.

[JR's Reef]

Nice setup!

 

[rdvab]

That thing is loaded....Nice

 

[RaddReef319]

Very nice stuff, I saw this tank months ago on reefcentral. Do you still have the aiptasias? If so, you should really consider buying a couple dozen berghia nudis. They really do eat the nasty aips, I've seen it firsthand

 

[Acezwild]

wow man incredible looking tank Id never thought u can do what you did with your 40b

 

[Azurel]

What a great looking tank.... The stand alone of the Monti setosa piece and the blasto are sweet....

 

[subielover]

Great looking tank and really nice corals. What lighting are you using? How about filtration?

 

[roscoe]

Thanks for the nice comments folks!! I totally forgot about this thread LOL!!! Subielover this is a very basic set up. Here is my equipment list.

Lighting- Lumenarc mini stealth De driven by a IC 250w ballast with 14k hami and 2 65w PC actinics.

Filtration- Very simple. No sump just a Bak Pak skimmer with a mesh modded MJ1200

Flow- I use to have a k2,3 and 4 now I just have a MP40 in there.

Mainteneance- I do a 10g water change every week sometimes I let it lapse over 2 weeks if I am lazy, I dose Vodka and drip kalk for my top off and add magnesium once a week. Very basic. I've had this tank running like this for about 3 years now and have grown any and every thing.

Very nice stuff, I saw this tank months ago on reefcentral. Do you still have the aiptasias?

Yeah they are still in there and more of them too LOL. I'm not too worried about them as I will eventually transfer everything into my 450g system once I feel comfortable enough to do so. I had a guy that needed some tank space for some LPS and I offered to house some of his stuff in my 450g system. After a few days of them being in there they started to melt away for some reason. So I'm waiting for this giant to mature a lil more before I put my precious SPS in there.
