Let's see some great full tank shots, either new or how it's progressed from last year!

Here is our little reef, currently at 7 months old...growing out some great frag contributions from Brad and local CanReef-ers

Shrimp, great pics! I spy 2 clams, very nice.

Raf, nice looking tank!

Well may as well post up the new tank to start the new year

Wow, Nick, great job on that new tank, and so quickly! Looks like you put a lot of thought and work into it. Going to be a real showcase in the not too distant future.

Thanks walter i appreciate that. Its a work in progress forsure. Once all my sps takes off it will really start to look cool. It sucks though, all of the sps that had started encrusting on the rock had to be broken off and re glued. So time to start from square one.

First FTS of the year

My first FTS of 2014 is rather a sad one. The tank is most of the way sold off now.

This tanks about 8 months old but redid rock work and took out some pieces to start over with my personal favorite. So as is 2 months oldhttp://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/...7215625207.jpg

Sorry about the coraline on the gront glass. Best shot I coukd get with my phone. Will scrape the glass and get a better pic.

That's how it looks like as of right now (only hawkfish survived the velvet outbreak and is hiding).

What brand name of black sand ! I'm looking to do my tank in black sand .
But I heard of some sands having metal in them and to do my research before buy.

It is caribsea black sand. I asked the people at J&L about it and they didn't seem to know to much. The bag said on it reef safe, and good for salt water. Im just taking a chance, and am hoping it works good. Is it bad if it has metal in it? Im just hoping because its a reputable company that i should be ok.

I heard put a magnet on it if it picks up anything get it out ASAP .
But I didn't do much research on it yet. Denny from the LFS just warned me about some black sands . That tank is awesome !

Thanks I appreciate that, however now I'm slightly worried as it is a lil bit magnetic. But why is that bad? it did say reef safe, and everything seems to be doing just fine. If anybody knows anything about this please let me know because if there is an issue i will be removing this weekend.

Iron is magnetic . And I'm pretty sure that's bad. But I would look into it before going crazy . But you don't want to leech anything and have a crash .

I have done some reading online and other forums, and it appears lots of people do use the same sand I have and it is ok. The only flaws I can find about it are that is is hard to keep looking clean and black after longer periods of time, and it has less filtering ability over regular sand. Both arnt huge concerns for me. I do lots of WC anyways, and ill just make the bed deeper to make up for lack of filtration. Any other suggestions?

The Wife's (WIP) 120 G
 

This is how it atm, still working on it regularly. Upgraded from a 90 G bowfront in Oct. 2013

Here's my FTS for 2014. 180G Mixed Reef that has been running for 1 1/2 years now. Just ignore the fish trap. lol. Trying to catch all my Blue Streak Cardinals so I can replace them with some Flame Wrasses.

I must agree on the T5 tanks, the colors on corals are just outstanding.
Great looking mixed reef Spyd.

LoJack's January 2014 FTS:

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps418d00ff.jpg

So stayed up all night again, but this time to redo my aquascaping on my main tank, a 165g full reef with 90g wide sump. I also added a couple of large media reactors into the sump with Hydroton so I can sell off some of my spare Live Rock to create more space for a bigger skimmer and the media reactors.

Here's the 93g (30" cube):

And finally the 2' RR cube:

Both reef tanks are only about 2 weeks old and the final result of my latest upgrades.

Thanks for looking.

Anthony
