Tank: 55 Gallons 36x18x20
Stand: High gloss white Skimmer: AquaC Urchine Pro Powerhead: Vortech MP20 Light: Current HQI (2x150 MH, 4x T5's, some led's) JBJ ATO Well this is my first tank, just picked it up a week ago. I got the tank and stand custom made. I thought it was going to be totally rimless, but i missed the part on the quote that had the bottom trim checked off. So i was a bit bumed out when i saw that. When i got it home i took the trim off, but the glass and silicone didnt look to good so i just painted the trim white and put it back on. It looks way better atleast. So anyway did all the pluming on the weekend, filled it with water and did a leak test and everything was good:lol:. Just ordered some sand and rock from eco-reef (thought id try it out as it is so much cheaper) and will probably just go to the lfs to pick out a few pieces of LR.

My black cat was obsessed with the tank when it was empty couldnt keep him out of it.
|
Better hope you can when it's full of water !!!!

Quick question, how far down do you run the drain into the filter sock.
thanks for any reply |

Just some pics of my aquascape. What do ya think?
|
The rock i put in is dead rock from Eco-reefer. So to make it live do i just throw in a couple pieces of live rock.
Thanks |
Yup...nice clean lookin tank!
|
looks really good but the loc-lines a bit distracting.
|
So im wanting to start my cycle, i dont have any live rock or sand.
1. should i get some live sand and put it on top of the other sand. 2. should i get some live rock and put it in the tank or sump. 3. should i get some little coctail shrimp and throw them in the tank. I also have some Microbacter 7 should i start putting that in. Thanks for any advice |

update
Tank is going pretty good, had a purple tipped acropora die not really sure what happened, just took it out a few days ago. Everything else seems good. Changed my sump around after getting a target mandarin. Made part of it into a refugium to help with the pod population. Have a bunch of micro bubble so, will have to change some of the plumbing this weekend. Also just got a few new zoanthids a couple of weeks ago.

Looks good man. I love that anemone. I have one that looked just like it. It went downhill and we are trying to nurse it back to health.

just thought i would do an update, picked up a bunch of new frags the past couple of months. I think my pink squared anthis gave my tank ich so all the fish are in quarantine tanks :sad:. I will never put new fish in tank without putting them in quarantine first. Started dosing vodka a couple months ago, when i picked up some new sps frags. Tank is starting to look good in the past couple weeks, lots of new growth and color.

Thanks for the comments, going to try and take some more pics of the rest of the tank tonight
|
gotta love the rimless tanks so sexy. i really like your scape too nice and simple. cant wait to see more.

Well i think i finally have things figured out some what, and I think i have my dosing schedule to where i want it. I had issues with dinoflagletts for a while and it took a toll on a couple coral frags i think it may of been from the MB7 i was dosing, think it may of expired or something. I am now dosing Brightwells reef code a and b, iodide, Koral color, potassium, MB7, amino acids, some kent phytoplex, Reef magnesium and vodka
