VannReefer87 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Well, being down at York has made me really miss my fish at home....I'm always concerned about my clownfish and my favorite corals so I figured at might as well just set-up a tank in my own apartment! Equipment is as follows: -30g Breeder (AGA) -CPR Backpack/Refugium Combo -36'' Nova Extreme Pro (6x39w) w/ UV bulb combo -150w Stealth Heater -2 MJ 900's w/ mods (1200gph each) Livestock: -40lbs of live rock from old tanks.... -2 WC Oynx Clowns -Golden Angel -5 Bar Mystery Wrasse -various Micros and lords -SPS frags/mini colonies Ok here are the pics after 2 weeks.... Start up: Lights: Tank a week later w/ only 2 bulbs running: The inhabitants: FTS on table: Oh the potential.... Link to comment
hammer294 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 very nice.....like the aquascaping Link to comment
dshnarw Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 woohoo!!! another 30b! great aquascaping (as if it could be bad with that tank)! how are you liking that light fixture? I'm thinking about switching to T5s on mine. Link to comment
VannReefer87 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 thanks guys, I love the fixture...a bit over-kill perhaps but really nice....when I run just 2 bulbs the tank is really bright Link to comment
seagul Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 SUweet. how do you like the fixture? onyx clowns are the bomb!! im looking to get a pair here soon. Link to comment
VannReefer87 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 yo man, I love the fixture..and the UV bulbs are awesome!...Onyx clowns are the best, I'd def. recommend them. Today: I turned on my 2nd MJ Mod, wow there is a lot of flow in there...are clowns ok in high flow? Link to comment

I had a couple in my 15g with 1200gph flow. They stayed near their host anemone more in high flow (which I liked anyway). Link to comment
luusreef Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 you should put a black or blue background to cover up the stuff in the back. nice rock work BTW. those clowns are a really nice pair. Link to comment
VannReefer87 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yea I know, I'm planning on putting background on very soon to clean it up a bit. Link to comment
Xander Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Is that a top? What kinda evaporation do you have? Your tank looks nice and very clean Link to comment
MushiMushi Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Real Nice! Makes me want to get another tank! Link to comment
VannReefer87 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 haha thanks everyone...the eggcrate is on top.....helps with some evaporation against the light shield, I use it just to keep the clowns (that bite!) from escaping! lol Link to comment

VannReefer87 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 thanks man, Yeah I just got the little guy...so far he's been a model citizen, swims around picking on the back glass and on the rocks and gets along fine with the clowns. The angel and the algae blenny follow each other around picking all day.... Link to comment
