Awesome information! I am doing a mixed reef and plan to take it slow. Per the route mentioned above to start with the easier corals. The plan is to focus on fish at first with this tank. Two clown fish to start and then 30 days later another two clownfish. I will definitely be taking it slow to learn my tank chemistry. Also, the plan is to get a stronger slimmer latter on. Right now I’m running the ASM G3. Finally, I only use RODI and I will be completing weekly water changes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Dweller! My wife loves birds nest so it looks like the pink one is going on the right side of the tank. Maybe a rainbow on the left. I’m use to Duncan’s/hammers! When is a good time to get Acans in the tank to ensure they are successful and don’t die? I see they grow pretty slow, but they are very colorful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice coastal! Points taken. Could you give me some examples of Premium bulbs? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay WAMAS family, I only come to you when I know you are going to give it to me truthfully and honestly. So, the picture below you will find a Coralife 72 Inch Aqualight Pro, 3x150W HQI MH Lamp + 4x96W Blue Acentic+ 4x1W Lunar LED fixture setup on my 21 day old 180g setup. The fixture is 12 inches off the waterline. I maintain a 79 temp in my basement. I am starting this thread in hopes to get a nice long list of softies/LPS and mainly SPS that can grow successfully under this light fixture. Additionally, I know that this light is not the best out there, so discuss upgrades to my lighting setup that would assist me with growing the higher end SPS. (Keep in mind budget spending) I’d like to stick with MH BTW. Finally, again be honest and try to stick to your experiences and not someone else’s. This is my first time attempting to grow SPS. I have always done softies and some LPS over the years. Thank you in advance to all who respond to this post! -Tony Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will keep that in mind (Patience). I am starting up a 180g mixed reef, but this is the first time with SPS. I will get the build started once I start the cycling process. Keep an eye out for the post, I am going to be looking for all the help I can get :-)

I just took a look at this entire build. I admire your work over the years! The clam opens up and then closes on the left side. Pretty cool story with him, sucks about the zoas though.. good stuff!

It's an all in one setup only 33 gallons, bought here in the U.K. Yup that's why I added him to the tank, it was all white with purple tips and only about $20. It sure is growing fast and has doubled in size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Tom for the quick reply! Hmm, I'm going to wait a couple more days to see if the Condy moves, if not I'm not sure what to do because the toadstool is permanent stuck to the rock. My filtration isn't the. Eat because I have a small skimmer on this setup. I could add carbon though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

See picture below... this carabean anemone is moving all the time now trying to get comfortable I guess. I've had him for about 2 months. Anyway, the toadstool seems to be okay after two days of the anemone over top of him... I do notice the tentacles of the toadstool arnt fully out where the anemone is touching. Can this kill the toadstool? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I got the tank completely resealed, that was fun lol. Here are some before and after shots: Unfortunately, I'm not setting this tank back up, I feel like there is no need with me moving. I will be posting the fish and corals for sale real soon. Thanks for your help everyone! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good morning WAMAS Family... Wow, what a night!! Went to bed at 3am to wake up at 5:15... That sucked getting up this morning. Anyway, Long story made as short as I ca.n. transferred my piranhas (x3) that were in my 75g and put them in a 20L black sand, heater, filter and artificial plants. Now for the fun part, transferred about 100lbs + of live rock from the 110 into a 32 gallon brute. Put coral/rock in a separate brute. Drained the 110 in those two brutes and 5 gallon buckets... Yeah a lot of them because I have a 40 gallon sump too! Okay transferred all water minus about 30g into the 75g and the 20g sump put the push in with the coral and heater and powerheads. I put that extra salt water and about 50lbs of sand in a brute with powerhead and heater. Put the 110 out on the patio with plans to clean it out, dry it and start removing the lower silicone today.. I'm about 90% sure that it's the silicone loosing its seal.... The other 10% is well.. The other thing, cracked glass. I pray it's just the silicone! If not I seen a couple offers on this post that I will look into, hoping for a good deal[emoji57], if not I'm planning to move to Germany in 2016 so I will break down for sure. To all that posted to help, thank you so much for taking your time out to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I Agree!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great man! Me and a friend are rebuilding mine this weekend. He is very knowledgable, but I mentioned to him that WAMAS is filled with very intelligent people and we will need to use this thread for assistance. Thanks again WAMAS!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you so much for replying to this post everyone... Me and a friend have decided to take this stand apart and rebuild it correctly! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm re-building my stand and would like to know where to get the doors from as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello WAMAS! Here are the dimensions of the new tank: 48x30x18 Here are the dimensions inside the sump area: 42x15 (without braces) 42x12 (with braces) So here is the issue I'm having, I have a 110g stand that I want to remove the 2 center braces due to them only have 12 inches in between of them... I can't get my 30 long sump in there [emoji19]. This is an upgrade from my 36g BowFront and I'd really like for the transition to go smoothly. Can I remove the center braces on this stand without worrying the whole tank would come tumbling down?? If I can't, anyone have any ideas of what you would do in my situation? Finally, I have a wet dry sump that I could use, but it's just a baby (maybe 12-15 gallons) but of course I want the 30 long down there as a sump.(it's 36x13x17. Take a look at the pictures. Thanks for your advice!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally, I'm not sure but I really like them [emoji108] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly how I started! I think sense my wife only like the softies I'm going to only go with the softies... I mean I like the chalice but not a whole lot like some others.. If you don't mind, could you post your parameters, and also what size tank you have please. Maybe some of the softies you are keeping in your setup as well. Thanks for the help!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I'm going to take it out tonight see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well figured I would give you guys an update.. Everything is doing exactly the same, soft corals don't seem to be getting any better after turning the skimmer off for almost two weeks, and over feeding. Salinity 1.026 Nitrates 0 (still running Cheato) Nitrites 0 Ammonia 0 PH 8.1 DKH 10 Kinda getting discouraged with softies. Although the chalice and zoas aren't really growing either.. Thanks for any help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
