Reefs August 9, 2011 Share August 9, 2011 This tank is taking the place of the other freshwater riparium I used to have. Tank: 36''x15'x16'' acrylic by Seaclear. Light: 72 watt led 12''x6.5'' Filtration: 5 gallon macro algae rifugium, protein skimmer. Circulation: 2 powerheads 425mpg Koralia and mini Elite, 1 pump attached to surface skimmer. About 30 pounds dry rock and 20 pounds crashed corals(old school). That's it for now, I'll update for any changes in the future. The clean up crew added after Diatom bloom.

Reefs August 26, 2011 Author Share August 26, 2011 I like how you have your rock set up. Thanks, most of it is Pukani dry rock from Bulk Reef Supply, I am trying to keep macroalgae in the left background also leave as much swimming space for the fish since this small tank.

Larry Grenier September 15, 2011 Share September 15, 2011 What make & model light fixture is that? Better light spread than I expected for a small fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefs September 16, 2011 Author Share September 16, 2011 (edited) What make & model light fixture is that? Better light spread than I expected for a small fixture. This is a DIY from a guy in California, I paid $200 when I bought it, but now I saw on Ebay that he reduced the price to $185 free shipping whith improved features like dimmer and individual switch for actinic. Edit: you can also link more light fixtures together, you just need separate power cable. check the topic at the new to the hobby forum that I started under the title LED lighting, to see a picture of 2 light fixtures linked together.
