Dual 65g Reef system
 

So after my wife bought her piano, she insisted that the 6' 110g reef tank had to go into the other room. Lots of extra work & expense but in the end, I have my own sw fish room. Yeeehaaaaa!! Now I have my corals in separate 65g tanks with separate water systems.

The first picture shows both tanks under my 6' Aqualight Pro.

The second is the Left side LPS/SPS/clam 65g tank.

The third is the Right side Softies & some high nutrient LPS 65g tank.

The last two are some new corals I bought or traded for recently.

looks good

That looks awesome. What a sweet idea putting the two tanks side by side like that. I like it.

That looks great Anthony. Are those new corals the result of your recent shopping spree?

Yup. I bought a few more but you're very limited on how many pics you can post I find with this new program. Still trying to figure out how to post pictures & not just links.

I bought one 3' 65g at Boxing Day, then I kept thinking that I have a 6' light, I should get a second one. (so I did)

Chin Lee drilled the second one & I bought the glass precut from Candu glass & siliconed the overflow box. Tomr came over & showed me how to plumb in the overflow to my 50g sump/refugium & I have a 40w Lifeguard UV on my return, using a mag7 pump.

I'm upgrading to an ASM-G3 skimmer & moving the Tunze 230 to the 20g above tank sump/fuge that has a Maxijet900 pumping up into it so the pods are gravity fed back into the softies tank.

Took a while for me to go from total KISS system to a plumbed reef but I love the new setup.

Highly recommend the overflow/sump/fuge system for anyone thinking of setting up a reef.

That's pretty cool! Looks great

Hey Anthony, are there any fish in those tanks ? :razz: I can't see any really. Minus the clowns.. perhaps I'm blind.

That is a really cool idea looks great.You should put a blue boxfish in one of those tanks:biggrin:

Yeah, a blue boxfish. He'll love the clams & corals.

I have a royal gramma in with the two ocellaris.

In the sps/lps, I have a mated pair of gold striped maroons, a yellow tang & powder blue tang & a yellow watchman goby.

Unfortunately, I'm at my max. for fish for now. I may catch out the yt & switch it into the softies tank so the pb (ick-magnet) stays in the tank with the 40w UV. I'll be upgrading my skimmer on the lps/sps tank this weekend (hopefully).

Is that before or after the wife comes home? :biggrin:
