My 5' Bedroom tank.
Hey guys, not really from the begging but I have had this tank running about 5 months. I was recently reading a thread about not enough tank journals so I figured I would make my first one. Ive only been in the hobby a couple years so if you guys have any suggestions or comments feel free.
First of all tank is a 5 foot x 14 tall x 18 deep, making it about 65 gallons. Lit by 2 inexpensive led units, swc 160 skimmer, ecotech mp10es, tunze 6025, eheim 3000 return pump, started with just a couple pieces of live rock and about 50+ pounds of dry "reefers rock" or whatever from Jl. Loved working with that stuff as it is so easy to get a aquascape you like when its all dry. Best part of all FTS was taken from my bed, awesome to watch the tank at night and my son loves it. Ps. Forgive me for the mediocre quality photos taken just with the s4. https://photos-5.dropbox.com/t/0/AAC...?size=1280x960 A couple of my favourite corals.

My mistake I think these are the strawberry fields.
https://photos-4.dropbox.com/t/0/AAB...?size=1280x960 Long day, woke up at 6 in Toronto, worked, then flew home. For some reason I cannot sleep. |
I am not sure if its me but none of the pics worked. Sounds interesting though

Nice. Cool aquascape!
|
Very nice...It looks like you are well on your way!
|
Beautiful! Aquascaping is fantastic!
|
Looking good Tony.
|
Thanks for all the comments guys, always hard starting fresh again, but it is a lot of fun. Luckily my brother had a tank at a different house and he held on to my angel while I was out of the hobby. Cool to still have the fish around.
|
Off to a good start, the tank looked bigger in the pic but then when I saw the size of the 3 palys on the right of the first pic in put the tank into perspective.
|
I've always loved the idea of a tank in a bedroom. Congratulations on doing it and doing it well!

Its pretty amazing watching kids with aquariums, my boy will stare at my tank for longer than he watches his favourite tv shows.
This is when it was newly set up, before all the rock was seeded and such. My son was watching his favourite character in the tank, he just loves the cleaner shrimp for some reason, tells the world about it lol. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ony_3a/Son.jpg Original aquascape. I ended up redoing some parts of it, I like how it looks now a lot more. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...220_221001.jpg |

Great collection of Zoa's you have started there

Thanks, I ordered 2 maxspect razors and just waiting for them. This was my previous room divider tank.
http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y..._3a/Tank-1.jpg And my second tank ever. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/IMG_0439.jpg First one. Probably the favourite thing about my fish tank is the coral beauty angelfish that I have had since day one, literally one of my first 3 fish. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/IMG_6731.jpg |
Interesting couple weeks.
Well my one of my old lights started to go, colour shifted and it looked terrible. I decided to upgrade to the maxspect razors and wow they are impressive. Easy to program and the tank looks amazing. Unfortunately I only have cellphone pics but heres some updated shots.
FTS I am very happy with the spread, these are 2 of the 120w 16k units over a 5 foot tank. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ny_3a/ftsb.jpg Couple Coral shots Polyp extension is very good. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ny_3a/Pink.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/greensps.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/Rastas-1.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...eHornets-1.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ony_3a/fii.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y..._3a/can1-1.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/y...ny_3a/om-1.jpg |
