GOSKN5 December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 Not really a build thread, since I didn't document much of the startup.. but more a place to add updates etc as I go.. I have posted pics around before.. so most have probably seen them.. Deep blue 80 shallow (48x24x16) 40 breeder sump 2 AI Hydras 2 mp10wes (took out the gyre) Speedwave DC return pump Bubble magus 180a skimmer BRS dual reactor gfo/carbon some of the livestock include: 2 RF nems 4 bubble tips (2 red, purple with green tips, neon orange) 5 photosynthetic gorgs various softies and leathers Halimeda macro A few SPS Yellow coris wrasse Melanarus wrasse Fiji barberi clown 2 lyretail anthias 1 of the tiniest hi fin striped gobies ever with his equally tiny (but loud) pistol shrimp plan to add another wrasse or two and a few other misc fish.. as well as a few more SPS possibly... Gonna add some higher res pics as soon as I steal the wife's high dollar camera haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmerek2 December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 My fish suggestion is fewer fish fewer problems but I know how that went with my tank ha. How did you like the gyre I have never had one. Sweet setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet setupHaha I agree... unfortunately I'm a fish person... the corals etc are secondary to me.. The gyre was ok, huge flow, small design... limited flow options, and only one direction of flow... didn't work too good for my tank... but I wouldn't hesitate to run it on a larger tank That is a stunning tank, I love it.Thanks a bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSKN5 December 31, 2014 Author Share December 31, 2014 Nice... have to look into them... I am considering adding a single of several types of chromis... LA has 4 varieties and I have read they should be fine as singles... been looking for something different and thinking of going that route.. along with a blenny/goby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 January 4, 2015 Author Share January 4, 2015 Took 90% of my sand out today... didn't have much to start with... bottom was painted white in anticipation of me wanting to go back to BB... still some here and there that I will get the next few water changes... I do have a deep spot behind an acrylic wall for my wrasses to sleep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankythepyro January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 I was wondering where you got your stand? I'm looking at setting up the same tank but still have to order it. I made the mistake awhile ago fo trying to buidl my own stand and I ended up having a 40 breeder that wasnt sitting flat. Thanks for your help and beautiful tank!

GOSKN5 January 5, 2015 Author Share January 5, 2015 I actually found a used 120 gallon stand... same footprint, although I would like it about 6" taller.. Deep blue makes a stand for it I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
