Tank Pics

[Lance]

Well, my tank is 5 months old today and I thought I'd celebrate with some pictures. I think it's coming along pretty good, after a few drawbacks: Had a bad Ich infestation in the 2nd month. Had to catch all the fish and QT them for 6 weeks. Lost 1 fish. That really sucked! Then I had a bit of a cyano problem, and ran carbon & Rowaphos in a canister filter, lowered my photoperiod and grew some macroalgae in the refugium. The tank is just getting over it now. Hopefully, clear sailing for awhile now.

The tank is a Venezia 90 gal bowfront (54x36x25) with matching stand. Internal overflow (bottom drilled) w/dual bulkheads to 54 gal sump/refugium (macroalgae & pod cultivation) Tunze skimmer.
Lighting: built-in T-5 Powerglo 18K & Geisemann Powerchrome Pure Actinic.
I took out the back T5's and built a canopy for a PFO 250W HQI mini-pendent running Ushio 250W HQI 10K. T-5's & Metal halide are on separate timers. R2 Extreme Moonlight LED

Anyhow, that's enough BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! Here's the pics:
