My Tank

[Renegade]

It occurred to me the other day that i have been on this board a really long time and have never posted a picture of my tank so hear it goes.

Starting with a bit of the "build"

The tank is a 120g RR single corner overflow Glass tank. Custom stand. I'm running dual 250w mogul base pendents with (recent addition) 2 48' T5 actinic's. The Tank has been drilled in two spots both 1 1/2 in the back glass for my closed loop. My closed loop consist of a 3600GPH Dart pump with two return at the front corner's of the glass. Tucked underneath it all is a euro-reef 135 with a oceanic sump model 2. My return is currently a mag 9 which returns water to the tank as well as powers my refug, calcium reactor and my phosban reactors. I Am running a OA calcium reactor with a pinpoint Ph controller and solenoid to control the CO2 tank. The refu consist of three chambers, Xenia Tang Heaven, and Cheato for nutrients export. Its powered by a Coralife 24" Fixture 2 x 65W. and is on a reverse cycle to my other lights. I also run 2 phosban reactors with carbon and RowaPhos. My auto-top off consist of a Tunze Osmolator with tunze kalk dispenser inline with with RowaKalk. And to finish it off i have a 3w (i think maybe 1) corallife moonlight.

Enjoy the pics, comments Welcome.

Tank looks great! (What took you so long to show it off?) It's a nice clean set up with all the bells & whistles.

PS. Does the YellowTang give your Longnose BF a hard time? I had one, and the tang would not leave him alone, harassed him so bad I had to take him back to the LFS.

Hey Ya I don't think I've every seen pics of you tank.

[Snappy]

Looks great. I love the A.abrolhosensis, looks just like the one I got from Jason McK.:wink: Keep up the good work.

[lastlight]

Looks well maintained...love the colors in there.

Is that dottyback actually alive? How on earth did you slow it down for a photo? I was never able to get a good shot of the one I had...

[Renegade]

yep the dotty is alive lol, i actually captured him with a flash.

Thanks everyone for all the comments and nice words

The Yellow tang and the long noise (which my gf named Pinocchio) fought for the first couple days. I actually isolated the long noise within the tank using egg create to let them get familiar with each other when i first introduced him. I'm not sure if it helped as when i removed the egg create they did fight. I just fed heavy for a few day and then they were fine.
