Hello Everyone,
I figured it was about time to get a Tank thread started on R2R. It has been up and running since last July. I am going to copy over some of the info and old pics from my local Reef club tank thread.
Here it is:
I bought a 92g corner tank on craigs list about a month ago and figured its about time to get a thread started for it.
Here is what came with the setup:
92g corner tank.
2 X SOL AI Led Penants with Controller
Reef Octapus cone skimmer
Reef Keeper Light
Auto fish feeder
Return pump (forgot what model offhand)
3 X Tunze pumps
about 90 or so lbs live rock
ATO setup
Livestock added:
1. Yellow watchman goby From old Nano cube
2. Black\white\yellow Clownfish Maybe saddleback? From 37g cube
3. Longnose Hawkfish New
4. Diamond Goby New
5. Hippo Tang - Died
6. Yellow Tang
7. Pigmy dwarf angel
8. Six line wrasse
9. Mystery Wrasse
10. Filamented flasher wrasse - Jumped to death
11. clownfish ocellaris from Nano cube
Almost all the corals I brought home survived except acro colony. Saved a few frags of it before it RTN'd out. Fragged a few things like the blue Monti and some wild blue zoas to begin paying off some of the costs of the tank.
I had to wheel and deal with the wife to get the OK and promised her that I would sell corals and my nano tanks to pay for it.
I had 2 months to do it as I used our Vacation money
Got most of it paid off already actually. Corals sold much quicker than I expected. Got about 20% of the cost to recoup still and a month to do it. Just might be able to keep the Nems now.
Here is a few pics I took this week.
Still trying to stablize the tank. Messed around with the rock work, coral placement and circulation this week as the tank has been doing well.
a little diatoms on the sandbed but all the corals are doing well coloring up real nice.
