Do you keep anything else in there? any cuc?

Any pics of the sps frag tank?

Thanks for posting the pictures it gives me some ideas.

I am thinking about one 36" x 24"-30" x 8"-12" it will be lite by either a 250 watt halide or a 6 bulb tek unit. Haven't decide that yet.

I have the tank plumbed to a sump that has one chamber full of live rock and another chamber full of cheato. IMO you gotta have live rock. I wouldnt even try to run that tank stocked as full as it is without a wack of liverock. I run a remora skimmer. LPS dont like their water too clean.. so it works good enough.

The fish that are in there all have their jobs. A pair of mandarines keep the pods in check.. a LM blennie to eat algae and a little yellow tang to keep the corals weeded. The tang gets sold every 4 months or so as they grow and is replaced with a little one.

Heres a bad pic of the sps tank..dirty glass and all. Its 4ft long x24x14 This one kinda turned into a shallow reef. I took out the sand bed awhile ago and replaced it with some flat shelf rock. BB didnt work as the frags would get blown around on the glass bottom. The sps tank has wrasses in it, so I have to keep it covered. Again it has a sump with lots of live rock ( and seahorses but thats another story) and chaeto.

CUC in both tanks are 2-3 kinds of snails.
