27.5G Acrylic Reef with built in Refugium

[zhubbell]

Alright this tank is at my girlfriends house, and I was kinda putting off making the thread, specifically because i dont remember what dimensions the tank is, and so I kept meaning to measure it....but I haven't...

the display is 27.5 I think it was....

either that or 22.5 with a 5 gallon fuge/sump....hmmmm

Oh well, you'll get the picture....

Here is it now:

 

theres some pretty sizable aiptasia in there....the only thing that doesn't rule... gotta get around to killing those....

Inhabitants include:

a brittle star

A lemonpeel angelfish

a yellow tang.

a dragon wrasse

a pencil urchin thats kinda purple

a sand sifting star

a GIGANTIC purple bubble tip anemone

a purple gorgonian (moved to fuge upon the addition of the lemonpeel angel)

a huge ricordea yuma rock

tons of mushrooms (randomly scattered cuz of the dragon wrasse)

an encrusting LPS (not sure species, I'll look it up later)

I think that may about cover it....

 

 

heres a blurry picture of the tanks surroundings...

its a very cool house in the old west end of toledo, if you know what that is...

 

Let me know what you think...

Does the dragon wrasse flip all the rocks?

 

I bet it will go unnoticed

OK - everyone chill out! I'm upgrading this tank to a larger one WAY before the yellowtang will outgrow it.

Hes doing very well, and we will not remain in the small tank.

I just added him, hes a juvenile, and this tank will not be his permenant, nor even sort of, long term home

 

Yes the dragon wrasse flips the rock like crazy.

At first it annoyed me beyond belief, cuz I lost so much coral, but then as all the missing mushrooms etc started turning up around the tank in weird, random, acutally natural looking spots, I gained an appreciation for the little guy
