~ MCC Reef Paradise ~ 60G Rimless Tank
I haven't had a tank for over 2 years now. The last time I was here was for my 20G long tank. It was a great learning experience and a very simple set up with many used parts from other local members. Do to work I got too busy and lost interest/time to take care of the tank. Some of the corals started to die and I got hit by flatworms. So I sold the tank and its contents when it still worth some value. The picture is of the 20G long before it went downwards.
http://www.nano-reef.com/index.php?a...tach_id=121950 Flash forward to 2013 !! Work is more stable now and I have moved out so it was time to set up something that will last longer. I decided to go sumpless again as I like the piece of mind and simplicity of the whole set up. Here is a list of the equipment: Tank: Hagen 60G rimless tank - 48"x19"x16" Light: Ecoxotic Panorama Marine Pro LED Skimmer: Tunze 9004 Circulation: 2 x Tunze 6025 Reactor: Phosban 150 w/ Ehiem Compact Pump 600 + GFO ATO: Tunze Osmolator 3155 Heater: Hagen Marina 200w Salinity: Refractometer I use a Aqua C Remora Pre-skimmer Box to hide the Ehiem Compact Pump 600 and the return tube. Current Livestock: 2 x Black Clownfish Blue Tang Yellow Tang 2 x Cleaner Shrimp Blue Legged Hermit Crabs Astrea Snails Frogspawn Coral Hammer Coral Torch Coral Various Ricordias Blue/Red Mushrooms Various Acans Duncan Coral Neon Candycane Coral 85lbs of Liverock I m planning to experiment with bio pellets one day instead of GFO. I want to add another Ecoxotic Panorama Marine Pro LED. One is currently enough and everything looks great and growing, but I just want to add more light to the tank. As for stocking. At the moment just LPS and softies, maybe one day I will venture into SPS world. Fish wise I might add one more fish, but other than that I want to keep my bio load from fish low. I do 5 gallon water change per week with Instant Ocean salt. http://www.nano-reef.com/index.php?a...tach_id=122035 |

Had to return one of the Aussie Frogspawn to the LFS. It was throwing 'tentacle' pieces everywhere and killing off my acans =(
On to better updates, upgraded the light to dual AI Sol. Built two pillars to hold it up. Amazing colors =) http://www.nano-reef.com/index.php?a...tach_id=122798 Still acclimating the light to the tank so its at 25%/40%/45% (WH/B/RB). Plan to be 35%/65%/75% =) |
