hooligan_78 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The tank has been running for about 3 years. It's undergone some overhauls a couple of times. I'm basically running a 720gph pump through 3/4" SCWD into the returns you see in some of the pics. I tried to keep as much electric equipment out of the display. I only run the Koralia Nano a couple of times per week to stir up the detritus in the back. Equipment: HOB Overflow modified CPR CS100 Aquatic Life mini skimmer in sump 720 GPH return pump Quiet One 4000 3/4" SCWD Koralia Nano Livestock: Onyx/ocellaris pair Now in my breeder tank Clown Goby x 3 Scooter blenny Spotted Mandarin Sixline Wrasse Carpet surfed... Striped Chromis(damsel) Porcelain crab emerald crab ruby crab Pistol Shrimp: FTS June 11, 2011 It's a mixed reef with zoas, lps, and just recently some sps frags. I took several years before deciding to try my hand at the sps game. Enjoy! Upgrade plans: Replace the existing sump, and change out the current HOB overflow. I will also have the overflow split since my new sump will have the fuge on the right hand side and return in the center. Trying to get shot of my monti cap, clown in the way: My mystery LPS: Scooter blenny and some zoas: Zoas, rics and frogspawn: Montipora digitata (sixline buzzing through, take pic of fish they hide; corals all too happy to block the shot): Last, but not least the obligatory...

Stock lights in it but going to upgrade to some UVLs or ATIs, something better, want a bit more blue to it. Link to comment
Dasani Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looks nice, glad to see theres another occie/perc pair out there. I have an onyx and b/w occie pair. Also have them in my 20H tank looks great. Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Update! Just replaced 2 bulbs with an ATI Blue+ and a GE 6500k bulb. Also added an Oregon(?) Tort and Sunset monti. Pics later today! Also should have ATI Aquablue Special and actinic today or tomorrow! Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 So I lied about the pics, but I did get my other 2 bulbs in, so now my bulbs back to front are: ATI Actinic 03 GE 6500K ATI Blue+ ATI Aquablue Special Gives me an overall 20k appearance. I also started dosing 2 part on Sunday, hoping to see some results in the next couple of weeks. I'm glad I finally upgraded the stock bulbs though. I swear I'll have the pics tomorrow evening!

Arkayology Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 What are you dosing and why? You aren't heavily stocked? Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 What are you dosing and why? You aren't heavily stocked? 2 Little Fishies C balance. I have quite a few sps frags, but I'm not dosing daily, about every 2 days and the minimun dose. And here's pics of my new frags, not so good pics, mind you!

hooligan_78 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 So, many changes in a little over a year. Got rid of some rock, moved my clowns into a breeding set up. Lost my sixline to the carpet just a few months ago. Not sure why it jumped, I had it for quite awhle. Added an ATO by JBJ, kalkwaser in the top off resevoir, and 2 part about every couple of days. Sorry for the crappy cell pics, as we are moving, digital camera cord is in a box somewhere... Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 This tank is freaking sweet! I love it. I hope my tank can end up this sweet! Link to comment
Arkayology Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Your tank has matured very nicely. Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Your tank has matured very nicely. Thanks man! It's no 60 cube though. I'm tearing it all down next Saturday as we're moving into our new house. I will take the time to drill the tank, the CPR has been a great overflow, but I'm sick of the gurgling sounds it makes randomly. I also think I'll make a new sump for it. Link to comment
