Default My Tank

It occurred to me the other day that i have been on this board a really long time and have never posted a picture of my tank so hear it goes.

Starting with a bit of the "build"

The tank is a 120g RR single corner overflow Glass tank. Custom stand. I'm running dual 250w mogul base pendents with (recent addition) 2 48' T5 actinic's. The Tank has been drilled in two spots both 1 1/2 in the back glass for my closed loop. My closed loop consist of a 3600GPH Dart pump with two return at the front corner's of the glass. Tucked underneath it all is a euro-reef 135 with a oceanic sump model 2. My return is currently a mag 9 which returns water to the tank as well as powers my refug, calcium reactor and my phosban reactors. I Am running a OA calcium reactor with a pinpoint Ph controller and solenoid to control the CO2 tank. The refu consist of three chambers, Xenia Tang Heaven, and Cheato for nutrients export. Its powered by a Coralife 24" Fixture 2 x 65W. and is on a reverse cycle to my other lights. I also run 2 phosban reactors with carbon and RowaPhos. My auto-top off consist of a Tunze Osmolator with tunze kalk dispenser inline with with RowaKalk. And to finish it off i have a 3w (i think maybe 1) corallife moonlight.

Enjoy the pics, comments Welcome.

Setup....







The Refug was recently changed into something more practical






Addition of T5's

Tank looks great! (What took you so long to show it off?) It's a nice clean set up with all the bells & whistles.

PS. Does the YellowTang give your Longnose BF a hard time? I had one, and the tang would not leave him alone, harassed him so bad I had to take him back to the LFS.

Looks well maintained...love the colors in there.

Is that dottyback actually alive? How on earth did you slow it down for a photo? I was never able to get a good shot of the one I had...
