08can-am March 3, 2013 March 3, 2013 Hey everyone. I figured I'd make a tank thread to update changes along the way. I upgraded to this from a 150DD and moved everything over Christmas Eve once it was finished cycling. -marineland 300 dd starphire with Monterey stand/canopy -3-- nova a6 led fixtures - flow is 3 tunze 6125 and 1 6145 -skimmer is a SRO 6000sss - return pump is a 4100gph reef octo pum - misc tunze ozmolator, BRS dual reactor, 20 long plumbed in with the sump as a fuge Stock Blue hippo, show size blonde naso,unicorn, purple tang, chocolate tang, tiny tomini, pair of Picasso clowns, some chromis, cardinals, two pistol shrimps, Corals Since I recently lost almost all of my sps for reasons I still can't figure out its missing a lot of what I've been growing for almost 2 years I do however have a lot of different zoas. Some regulars some a little more "fancy". A couple branching digi's(shocker they lived). A couple big neon green toad stools. Pretty large pagoda cup. 4 clams. And some others. 2 years into this hobby is say I'm hooked. (Pics to follow)
roni March 3, 2013 March 3, 2013 Barry, Welcome to the forum! Sorry about your losses recently. Good to see it hasn't happened your enthusiasm...get some of those pics up
08can-am March 3, 2013 Author March 3, 2013 I was going to take some last night after I finished water change but the lights went out. And yes I gave in jake.
08can-am March 4, 2013 Author March 4, 2013 Here are a couple cell phone shots. We added a huge piece of tonga branch. It's at least 40 lbs.
08can-am March 4, 2013 Author March 4, 2013 The pagoda cup is covering the bottom part coming forward but I think it fits well there. Plans now to cover it in some sweet zoas
08can-am March 5, 2013 Author March 5, 2013 Thanks. It almost makes me want to find another to put in the back side since its fairly open
Muddy357 March 5, 2013 March 5, 2013 Where on earth did you find a piece of tonga branch that big????????
08can-am March 5, 2013 Author March 5, 2013 I got it from a store near Richmond, Chester aquaria. When I stood it straight up it came out of the water.

08can-am June 26, 2013 Author June 26, 2013 Thanks everyone. Its a lot of work with an 11 month old. courtesy of my sweet S4
smallreef June 26, 2013 June 26, 2013 Looks really nice! Love the corals you've chosen and beautiful fish!
Jeff721 June 26, 2013 June 26, 2013 Wow, what a nice tank. I am always happy to see the big tanks that don't look barren. Yours is stuffed - I love it.
08can-am June 26, 2013 Author June 26, 2013 Theres a lot in there but the whole back of tge tank is ope for swimming room for tge big fish. Mostly the sohal and barienne explore back there. But it gives them their space courtesy of my sweet S4
mr.x-ray July 20, 2013 July 20, 2013 Wow, what a nice tank. I am always happy to see the big tanks that don't look barren. Yours is stuffed - I love it. I like the rock work also. Like how most of it only goes about half way up for some good swimming room. Roughly, how many pounds is in there?

I yhink there is about 150 pounds. Maybe a little more thats minus the 50 pound piece of tonga branch. courtesy of my sweet S4 Edited July 20, 2013 by 08can-am
