SHF's new 220g reef tank (Pics)

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Well, my wife & I decided to convert my sw fish room back into our spare bedroom for 2 Korean homestay students who are coming in Dec.

The bad news is that I have to tear down & transfer out 300g of sw tanks, sumps & refugiums.

Bye, bye smaller reef tanks.

Big thanks goes out to Chris, Rippin, Fkshiu, yvr, and Fishbreath for helping move the tank & equipment over. Also to DeepRed for selling me the system for a great price. And to my friend Chin_Lee for his help and especially TomR who spent Saturday here helping me to plumb in my tank.

Wow, that should keep you out of trouble for a while :lol: . What are you going to do with your seahorses?

and I'm jealous, your sooo lucky to have all that help setting up :mrgreen:

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

The seahorses will have my refugium section (2' long by 18" wide) section of the 72g sump to live in until I either set up the 90g reef/seahorse refugium tank again in the living room or a 20" cube tank for them.

Yeah, it's good to have so many helpful friends who can lend a hand when needed:biggrin: Literally couldn't have done it without them.

Lookin good Anthony. You have my vote for the next FTOTM.

[Fugu]

Damn......BB I see.....(bare bottem,without sand)

[WWWD]

Lookin good Anthony. You have my vote for the next FTOTM.

I think the tank needs to be running for 6 months before it can qualify.

I think the tank needs to be running for 6 months before it can qualify.
Since the tank is established with contents from other tanks that are years old, what difference does it make?

[Chin_Lee]

anthony
things are looking really good. I'll have to come by sometime this week to check it out.

[danny zubot]

Looking really nice Anthony. I'm glas you went with similar rock work from the dual 65's, I really liked them too.

There's a fine line there that really hasn't had an official ruling. Its something that we discuss when we need to.:wink:

Bueatiful tank... Went there on the weekend, and sat there for an hour admiring :) Way better in person than in the pics.

Good job Anthony.

[Diana]

Agreed, lovely corals...

[Mike Olson]

Nice tank! The rock work looks great too. I like it that you have a real mix of corals...Decided not to go with sand eh? Maybe one of these days I could actually see it!Ha Ha!
