BTW, both Van. Island tanks look even better in person.

Thanks Anthony, and by the way, bringing a gift for a non-reefing wife was one of the most thoughtful things I've seen in awhile!! Thanks from both Melissa and I. :biggrin:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

You're most welcome. You did notice that it was coloured SAND in there, so it still stays within the Spirit of a reefer get-together :biggrin:

[Scavenger]

It fits the theme!!!! No doubt there.

Love the pipe fish and the great variety of macroalgae :biggrin: When you moved to the larger tank, what did you do with the pipe fish?

[Majestic_Aquariums]

WOW! Talk about nice stuff!

How large is your tank Andy?

[Andy]

My tank is a 280 gallon sps-dominated reef.

[Invigor]

just gotta get my fish and corals from the old tank and I'm rockin :D

http://invigor.sasktelwebsite.net/tanksetup.jpg

[OCDP]

it almost looks nice the way it is Invigor lol.. with a few touch-ups or whatever.. I like it ! Very nice.

What lighting are you running on that thing? for some reason they seem extra bright

[Invigor]

thanks for the compliment!

lights are 2-250w SE sun aquatics 10k on an m80, with hagen actincs at VHO strength.

makes my basement glow :D

[OCDP]

Haha, I bet .. yeah for some reason the halides really seem to pop out in that picture.. maybe its just my screen...looks good none the less

[Chin_Lee]

Andy.... thats stunning. Very impressive nice looking tank of acros.

Sorry it's a little on the blurry side. Started last year in Sept...130 gal, about 26 fish, a bunch of inverts(various), approx 250 lbs of LR, and about 60-70 pieces of coral. The tank is a work in progress and doesn't show well in a picture taken from far enough away to get a full width shot.
Picture is about 6 weeks old so there have been a few changes since then.

[Funky_Fish14]

Well, here is my happy new tank.........sorry, the color in the pic is really bad lol, its just a very white 400W 10K XM with black background.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Funky_Fish14/SceneShot.jpg

Some better pics will be in the thread im starting.

ooh... I see your saving a lot of SPS frags for when I come down next Deb.. :mrgreen:

[mr_alberta]

What type of Butterfly fish are those in the picture with your Moorish Idol? No problems with them nipping at your clam or SPS?

[EmilyB]

There is a pakistani, a blackback and a red sea. Yes, they keep the polyps closed up on most types of sps, but fortunately don't bother clams at all. I would say the red sea is the best behaved, I don't believe I've ever seen her pick at anything.


(haha Muck....)

Looks like you did some re-arranging in you big tank, heh Deb? looks better. :biggrin: Here's a picture of my 75g softie tank from 6-7years ago. I though I lost it. This is back in the days when digital camera wasn't so prolific, this was taken with a 35mm.

[scotchy]

Here is a full shot of my new tank. It's a 65 gallon with 118 gallon sump. I took all the stuff out of my 33 so I still have a lot of space to fill. Sorry it's cloudy it was just set up today. http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/508/1253new_pictures_186-med.jpg


Scott

[Beverly]

Like the rock layout :cool: Am wondering if you get circulation behind the rock, though.

Also wondering why you didn't do a 118g tank with a 76g sump?

[scotchy]

Thanks Beverly. Actually I am getting no circulation behind the rock yet but there are 2 powerheads that have to go in the tank still and I think I will also work in some form of closed loop yet. I have some overflow issues to work out yet so it's all still in the works. As for why not a bigger tank? I wanted to keep my reef tank small and I plan on hooking a fish only tank up to the same sump. That'll be when the big tank will come.


Scott

[Invigor]

the sump isn't all that...applicable to be a display tank either :cool:

http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/500/1500f_048_Medium_.jpg
still a work in progress :rolleyes:
gotta find more things to fill the top parts of the tank. any suggestions?

[OCDP]

Just a thought... maybe add some more live rock? It will fill it up some and give you more height, depending on how you aquascape it!

JMO!

Still , it's looking nice so far :biggrin:

[robzilla]

how much weight can the bottom of tank take?
i'd like to add more rock but i'm concerned about some much weight in such a small footprint

[Beverly]

If that's an Oceanic tank, you can probably put in 40 lbs of rock. But with that much rock, you won't have much room for corals to grow, unless the rock you get is really dense and heavy.

Here's a pic of my 42g hex before I upgraded last year:

This a new picture of my 33G semicube. The contents is what remains after I sold my 75. :biggrin:

http://members.shaw.ca/rcipema/cubepic.jpg

[danny zubot]

I thought you were getting out Bob? Good to see you are still in though.

[Bob I]

I got out partially, by selling the 75. I think I can handle a couple of smaller tanks. :biggrin:

[props]

you have a nice and clean tank there marcus..
just 1 fish?

[Marcus K]

Not just one fish, Yellow Tang, Kole Tang, 3 Green Chromis, pair False Percula, mean Maroon Clown, Strawberry, one mean SOB grey crab with red eyes that I can't catch. Would like to add a Bicolour Blenny but the last one was eaten( posibly the grey crab). Thanks for the kind words on the Clams, I am finally happy to show my tank. Only taken four years to get hear. I am looking for a Blue Squamosa or a Black and white Maxima some time. Not sure what prices will be for these yet.

Josh,

Love that aquascaping :cool: Very unique :cool:

OK, What am I doing wrong? It will not post the picture, only the words

you have to delete the "?6238" from the end. :cool:

Thanks for the help. I edited my post.

Nice lookin tank Gord!! Glad to see you back on the board. :biggrin:

[bulletsworld]

http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/508/289tank_center_copy.jpg

Hey Gord,

Is that a Royal Gramma fish? :question: The colors are stunning and notice it has a red ban on it.

Also what kinda light cream color coral is that in same picture. Hard to see for sure but is that a light colored colt coral? :question:


Lee

[Bob I]

That is a Royal Gramma Lee, but that red band is a photographic trick. Royal Grammas have no such a band in real life. :mrgreen: The purple just fades into yellow. :eek:

[ganowicki]

the red band just showed up in the picture, it does not actually have one. My royal gramma is very deep and very striking in color, that is why I bought him.

the cream color coral is actually a green sinulara. You should see it when the actinics are on!.

Gord

No way! All these years I have admired the colors and I was tricked! :eek:

Thats for letting me know. Damn be pretty cool if it did have the band hey. Bummer.

Hey Gord,

Kewl green sinulara! Awesome size to! Green hey... My eyes trick me this evening. hehe


Thanks for your pictures...something new to read on. Hehe




:mrgreen:

[ganowicki]

I should restate that !! the coral is actually the same color as you see in the picture... it is called a green sinulara.
