Hey I dont post much on canreef, but I wouldnt call myself new to canreef. Anyways I was asked to post my tank on canreef. It isnt the prettiest tank and I do have quite a bit of algae but what the heck. I just spent my week finishing my canopy and my doors for the tank making it officially a fullout tank :). FYI I've never built anything before :P but as long as I dont see light leaking from the canopy sides I'm fine lol.
The tank itself is 5 months old upgraded from a 3 year old 46 bow, dimensions are 30x30x24 inch with a 20 gallon sump. the sump has no glass planes its bare and consists of a series of eggcrates which hold my macros and the lower ones are filled with feather dusters. These are my water polishers. My skimmer is a es 100 its been 3 days in the picture, it does alright I guess. The cup has to be emptied in a week? I have a ehiem canaister behind it as well along with a phosban reactor.
My lighting consists of a 24 inch newwave t5 HO and a 250 watt MH. When combined I get quite a nice colour but My MH isnt on during the pictures cause I'm planning to hang my canopy and at the level its at right now, evaporation and heat will be a big issue. Its going to be a SPS tank because my little angels eat everything but SPS! I have a transforming emperor angel, and a blue face angel.
BTW my tank is heavily stocked, I have 3 tangs and a sargassum and a foxface. They are all doing fine I've had most of them for over 2 years now except the trigger. Nitrates are very low and I dont think I have any traces of ammonia.
Anyways screw my babbling and heres more pics, I hope you guys enjoy and if you want some more details feel free to ask or pm.:biggrin:
UMM SORRY IT DIDNT POST PICS ILL POST them now
