Rice Reef's 120 SPS Reef Tank

[Rice Reef]

Not much happening tonight so I took some macro pics of sps in the tank. There have been some good signs of new growth since changing the lights to LED and I have also started dosing brightwell's microbacter7. It seems to be working as the skimmer is working harder as the skimmate is thicker and the stench is even stronger than before.

Here are a couple of pics of the tank...

Pretty sweet Wayne. Ive been playing around with that camera attachment you left at the shop. Pretty cool piece.

You never should have told me about deal extreme. So many things I've debated ordering haha

RiceReef, this tank is a real inspiration for me. I can only hope my tank is wall to wall with corals a looks as good as yours does someday.
keep up the good work!!

Jon, glad you like it. It's yours as I don't need it anymore. Hope to see some pics with it.

Wayne (hey, we share the same name!) thank you for the kind words. This tank is only four mths old and I'm a long ways to where I want it to be compared to other reefers here. Looking forward to seeing your growing success on your tank journal!

It's been two months since I have posted an update... Corals are growing and it may have been benefiting from the following changes
- I've switched over to biopellets but I am still dosing Vodka
- I have been adding 1 capful of MB7 once a week

Since April my two flasher wrasses finally decided to commit suicide. I am to blame as I did not have a top screen and I do not want to put one over the tank (at least not now). So, no more wrasses for me.

I have also added more frags to the tank (don't know where they are gonna go but I will have to find room for them) from fellow Canreefers in the Mainland and another CM order.

Here are some pics... from Top Down... I picked up a Eshopps Super Spy Viewer... while taking pics the darn thing kept on moving about ( I had the pumps off but the return is still moving it around) and affecting some of the images. Hope you don't mind some blurry pics... Guess I will have to figure out how I am gonna secure this while taking pics... may need an assistant to hold it still...


Enjoy the top down of existing corals and some of the new ones....

Great looking pics Wayne, sps is slowly starting to fill in.

Wayne, you are so screwed when those frags start filling in I'd be planning the tank upgrade about now.
If things get out of control before the bigger tank shows up, let me know, I can help...

Dude that FTS looks killer man. last time i saw frags and small colonies in a tank was a guy in Calgary named EPOSER
he had a fancy corner 155 gal and it was full like yours.

Brad you might remember that name.
