dipg August 1, 2013 Share August 1, 2013 I have been thinking of starting this thread for more than a year now but never got time. Finally now that I am planning to upgrade again I thought it would be nice to put the tank progression pics on this forum. As some of you know I started with a 6gallon Fluval Edge nano tank about 3 years ago and then I ran out of room to place corals so I upgraded to my current ELOS midi tank. Now I am running out of room in this tank so this time I am planning on going big...big like 180g . That tank is still in planning phase. Here are the details of my current tank and some pics below Tank: ELOS MIDISump: ELOS SUMP 400Return Pump: Sicce 2.0Water Movement: 2 x MP10ESWSkimmer: PS200 Light: Vertex Illumina 260 LEDATO: ELOS OsmocontrollerFiltration: Filter sock + NextReef MR1 Shorty reactor for GFO and Carbon The tank is placed such that all 4 sides are visible. The front of the tank has corals which require more light and the back of the tank has my LPS corals. Did My rock structure with BRS rock and E-Marco My favorite inhabitants - Yasha goby and Tiger Pistol shrimp. The pistol shrimp is responsible for taking numerous frags and one maxima clam in his tunnel never to be seen again. My latest prized possession 'ORA Red Goniopora' - got it from Quantum Reefs. This has already grown in size since i got it couple of months ago This pink bridsnest came from Evan (DerABT) and when I got it from him more than 2 years ago it was less than 1/2 inch big. My penderson shrimp decided to live in my plate coral from the day I bought it. He is really beautiful and this photo doesn't do justice to him Side tank shot of the front of the tank got this as a single head and now it has more than 20 heads Back side of my tank - LPS side with xenia growing on overflow, blue ochtodes algae and blue green sympodium growing side by side ORA Purple Stylo The guys who is always hungry and stealing food from my LPS and fish Token top down shot For more pics you can visit this link Cheers Dip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
