Dave ESPI Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I was looking through back pages the otherday.. and realized. that when chris made the swap of servers a while back, that my 37gal tank pic in this area was lost.... or I had never posted it. Upon Multiple request, I decided to post my 37 collumn pics. SO I figure it would be nice fer some of ya to see me and my 37 gal. Yeah, that freek next to the tank is suffering from "reef induced maddness...." its a serious dehabillitating disease. 18 x 20 x 25 H It is one of my 8 tanks, but is my fave by far. It runs with a plethora of Liverock varieties weighing in around 65 #'s worth, 3 inch LSB aragonite/oolitic mix with a 1/4 inch lift plennumn. A 250 W Iwasaki 67K MH W/ 2 x 32 W PC actinics. One PC remains on 24/7 the other for 12 hours with the Halide on for 10 in a CSL Prizim pendant ( AWESOME FIXTURE) 32 varous corals, SPS, LPS, Soft, Coralimorphs, actiniodiscus, zooanthids, Gorgonians, Xenia, sea mats, GSP, and featherdusters. 2 + dozen various snails, a few hermits, CBS and a pepermint, and 2 small urchins ( pencil and royal). Fish complement: Sailfin tang (3.5 inches, and YES it is happy). A mated pair Tomato Clowns, Six line Wrasse, and 2 Eectric blue Damzels. This tank is 3+ years running and has had only minor problems with Aiptasia, cyano and Hair algae 6 months ago due to crappy salt mix I used when I was out of my regular (Crystal Sea). I use RODI water and exclusively TROPIC MARIN or www.aquacraft.net Bio-SEA salt / Marine Environment. SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM..... The tank runs purely on powerheads (2 Powersweep 212, 228 and 2 Aquaglobe micro 200's ) and occasional skimming and diatom filter and 4 watt U/V purification. I dose 3 x a week with B-ionic and DT's. I feed mixed frozen and fresh seafoods puree` and OMEGA 1 FLAKE FOOD. I also use Lougolis Iodine on occasion, Marc Weis Reef DNA & Black Powder, occasional "Pickleing Lime" as a Kalk Supplement, and Decapsulated Brine eggs as treats for my corals/fish. enjoy ! yeah ..... I know... Im scary, but so are Clowns. Link to comment

Dave ESPI Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 tank at night. I custom rigged the ballast so I could throw the main on/off switch to power the second lamp, and have the other PC on a timer with the internal fan. Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 and the prissy lill tomato who MUST be in every picture I atempt to take...... I swear she hams it up fer the camera. Euphillia- Frogspawn with a pre-seperation (self fraging) head blister. This coral is over 6 years old and has been through a LOT of torture and various foul tank scenarios. Im just glad it is still with me. Link to comment
