Default Featured Tank: Summer 2013 "daniella3d"

Summer is here! (For some, "Summer is finally here!" And so, perhaps, this featured tank is also finally here!)

For Summer 2013, we are looking to "la belle province", Daniella3d's 75g reef tank with an incredible palette of colours!

Please click on the picture below to check it out.

Congratulations Daniella3d, and thank you (merci!!) for sharing your system details with us!

Friggin sweet! Well done! That SPS overhang thing-ma-dingy idea is awesome! Curious about the process used to do that.? Other than that, it is a spectral punch to the pupils!

Thanks a lot for selecting my tank for the tank of the month contest!

For the overhang, I used a flat rock and used epoxy putty, tie wrap and fishing line to hold it in place. It was easier to do due to the fact that the rock have a base that is protruding under neat it and this gives it some stability.

Very nice Daniella,... interesting that you do it all without a sump. And not a lot of flow either with just 2 1400 gph Koralias. But can't argue with your success. Very nicely laid out tank, with great colour, variety, and contrasts.

I didn't see your Copperband in your livestock list. What happened to him?

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

thanks everyone

I sold my copperband to a friend because he started to attack my clams and corals. He was fine for 2 years, so that was very hard to do since I grew quite attached to it and its great personality.

He had no reason to pick at my clams and corals since I was feeding him like twice per day. It looked more like he started to pick just for fun as he was not eating them, just picking at it. Maybe he was bored? or just curious. I also lost my beautiful niger trigger and found him one day dry on the floor I have no idea why he jumped out. there was nothing in the tank that could possibly attack him, no aggressive fish, but he was very skittish.

Also, I see that you keep your Ca pretty high at 440 - 460. Any reason for that? (just trying to discover some of your secrets)
