dragonxflare Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I quit the reef hobby about a year ago to try out breeding fresh water shrimps etc etc, and after that got a little boring, I've decided to return to reef keeping with a bigger tank. In the past, I had a 30 gallon AIO tank, but this time... I will be doing a 48 with a proper sump/refugium setup. Tank / Filtration/ Equipment: 48 Gallon Mr. Aqua Tank Eshopps Pf-300 overflow box Eshopps R-200 Sump/Refugium Vortech Quiet Drive Mp10 x2 2x Jaebo wavemakers Vertex Omega 150 Skimmer Lights 36" ATI Powermodule hybrid (LED/T5 combo) Live stock 2x Grade a Picasso Clown fish 2x Yellow Assessor Basslet Helfrichi FireFish Mccosker's wrasse Coral octospawn coral Purple tip Torch Aussie Gold Torch Green Fungia Plate Coral Flame Rim Fungia Plate Coral Various Acans Gold Hammer coral Zoas Rhasta Zoa Blue Hornets Salted Agave Eagle Eye Utter Chaos Electric Oompa Loompa Fruit Loops Fire and Ice Golden Mauls Seduction and some others (forgot the name) 7/2/2015 Aquascape built, and water put in Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 After trying to figure out which lights to go, I decided.. and they finally came in! My friend told me... better to have more light than not enough, and having to upgrade down the line. Fully loaded Apex system and Vortech MP10 Eshopps 3rd gen R-200 sump Link to comment

dragonxflare Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Tank looks great, I like your Zoa collection. Lots of unique colors Thanks! I hope they start growing out.... tank looks a bit bare at the moment. Sadly, I am still looking for Fruit loops locally... no one in the Bay Area seems to be selling them Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Got the Vertex 150 set up and dialed in. Took a few days to break in, but so far so good Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Happy Friday everyone. Just thought I'll post a few more pictures today. My RODI unit I purchased from BRS came in! Setting it up tomorrow. Also, a picture of my Vertex Omega 150 in action Link to comment
Quick Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Nice tank! Thinking about buying one of these for my next setup.. Sent you a PM with a couple of questions. Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 After about 4 weeks from the original date of the RODI unit I purchased, I finally had time to set it up in my garage: It was an extremely easy install, and started working immediately. I would definitely recommend purchasing this unit Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah, of any piece of equipment in this hobby, this is the most "must-have". You feel liberated really once you have it. Link to comment

tanacharison Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Acans look amazing! I like the setup. Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Nice build! Very cool clowns! What kind of rock is that? Its called "Real reef rock" I believe I got the generation 1 kind... few years back, and just re-used. Acans look amazing! I like the setup. Thank you Link to comment
dragonxflare Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Also, heres a full tank shot. This tank has been converted to about 90% sps now.... with little over 50 frags from all over (battle coral, cultivated reef, reef2pet, etc etc). Can't wait till it all grows out and fills in: Link to comment
