BigWyll April 6, 2012 Share April 6, 2012 This is my second attempt at a reef aquarium. My first attempt, a 50g, ended in a house fire. (At no fault of the tank). I purchased this tank from a member here, who said they purchased it from a member. Hopefully I'll sell it to another member and keep the tank in the family. Feel free to post comments, recommendation, or anything else. I am a fan of research and I have learned through reading countless forums that there are never enough opinions on a setup. My original goal with this tank was to house some larger fish and attempt at keeping LPS and a few SPS. Later learned that the LFS isn't the most reliable source on the best tank size for larger fish. So now the plan is to stock this tank with a mix reef of SPS, LPS, and zoanthids.

BigWyll April 12, 2012 Author Share April 12, 2012 This tank is basically a between sizes tank. I eventually want to build a 10' tank in my basement. I want to get more experience in maintaining a tank before I commit the time and money into the larger build. This time around my goal is to get experirence maintaining a deep sand bed, dosing, and spot feeding. With that comes the practice of maintaining PH, Calcium, and other things that I didn't worry to much about in my 50g set up. At this point I am still stocking the tank to the point where dosing is necessary. So I am looking for cheap colorful coral. My biggest lesson so far is with the larger tank evaporation is making maintenece a PITA. Mainly because I do not have a deticated resevoir for RODI water or emergency water change. The tank evaporates about 7g a week. And I have little wiggle room between the max and min water levels. ATO is in my very near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novi April 12, 2012 Share April 12, 2012 How long have you had this tank setup? Judging from the amount of coraline I would say years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
