Todd's 60 gallon reef

[axe_man16]

Alrighty, I started setting this up in November of 2010. After making the stand and installing the plumbing it was time to put in some water. The live rock was added in late November and was left to cycle for a month.

After the cycle was complete I set up a quarantine tank and added my first fish. I have been slowly adding to the tank ever since.

Here are a few pics of the tanks progress.

First few months: quite a bit of algae


taken around April: a few corals and fish added

taken in June: starting to get growth from SPS


Here is a few pics of the livestock

I am interested and how things turn out. I think you have a great set up and some nice corals in there.

Thank you, and your 50 gallon tank that you have/had was one of the inspirations when I was laying out mine. I Got a long way to go to get to a reef that impressive tho.

Thanks for the compliment. I definitely miss that tank. It took a few years to get it to that point and with one bad mistake the majority of it was gone. Keep posting updates as your corals respond to the LEDs I am interested on how the respond you your new lighting.
