start of my new 90gallon reef
 

this is my 90 gallon reef started about a month and a half ago
it was an upgrade from a number of other tanks i had so it cycled very fast
although i have a bit of hair alga its not to bad. and this is most likely from the tap water i use.

oddly when i added the anenome to the tank he bleached out
i think he was just really mad i have had him for many years
he is starting to colour up again and reture to his former size. Im just feeding him heavy and hes doing well.

i keep the alk about 9-10
calcium at 450-500
addition of iodine and strontium
weekly

about 350 lb of live rock
have about 500lb
a friend is borrowing:P some
and i have 100lb in a smaller tank just sitting

the liverock was in tubs for about a year without any lights so coraline growth
is not there.. i think i might need to seed it with some from another tank
if anyone in victoria wants to save there scrapings.

this is my old tank about 2 years ago it broke... and i lost everything:(

i waited a while due to school and whatnot to start up again.

hopefully i can get some nice stuff for the tank:)
i have tones of extra power heads... aqua clears.. prizim skimmers
and whatnot if anyone needs equipment and wants to trade some small frags:)

cheers and thanks for looking:)

nice tank! i like the rock work. :razz:
