Very impressive Denny, you have a great start on Zoa garden.
Your friend has some photo skills, makes me want to buy a proper camera.

for sure buddy



90g tank with center overflow
2 drains inside overflow box one durso the other an emergency standpipe

running 2 250w halides 14000k and 2 54w t5's

about 60-70lbs of liverock

4"-1" sandbed depending on what day you look(sand is very fine)

return pump for 1700gph

3 x koralia4






75 g sump:


algae turf scrubber
asm g2 skimmer with mesh mod
some other skimmer rated for 450g
tlf reactor with gfo
fuge with 50lbs rock

cheato
halimeda sp.
mangrove
dragons breath
red macro
dsb


water falls into the first chamber where it recieves its first skimming, its heated, and runs through gfo.....then flows threough the ats and then the fuge.....it then gets skimmed again by the second skimmer and returned to the fuge.


also connected is a 50g fragtank that shares the sump with my 90 and soon to be another fragtank is the first one is full



inside the 90 theres not alot of fish theres

4 x chromis

2 x paired banded pipefish

1 red stripe goby

1 diamond goby

1 sixline wrasse



numerous chitons, sponges and lots of bristle worms and other cuc.



the tank is a lps and zoa dominated tank and has some sps and nps tossed into the mix,the tank is a very nutrient rich system and recieves heavy feedings daily to all corals .the tank is teeming with pods and other life.

im feeding right now a mix of mysis,brine,baby brine,cyclopeeze both frozen and freezedried,nls pellets,pacifica plankton, kent phytoplakton and zooplankton, fauna marin ultra clam and seafan.


i feed about the equivelent of 4 cubes of frozen and a coffee mug of liquid foods and other things daily plus pellets for the fish, hence the need for 2 skimmers , ats and gfo combined



overall my tank is very stable and i dont have a high bioload, im also getting great growth and fragging reguarily of everything.

parameters are spot on where i want them and i dose calcium every now and then manually, plus iron and iodine rarely


i dont test for phosphates and nitrates are at 10ppm which is perfect for what i want to do
