Tangdaddy's Phifty LPS tank (budget build)

[tang daddy]

Well I thought I would start a journal on my 50g reef since it's looking very colorful these days. It started in the late fall when I tried to sell it for cheap and never panned out, so instead I stocked it up with fish and a few coral. Because I didn't qt the fish they all got ich and perished, after this I left the tank fishless for a few months and concentrated more on sorties and Lps corals.

My current fish stock are 2 Extreme Black Ice clowns, 1 Barnacle Blennie, and a new blue line flashed wrasse.

The tank is very simple with only one thing in mind, Corals!

It runs a return pump, 200w titanium heater, ato, 1/4 hp chiller, 4 t5 and tunze nano wavebox.

Display 50g breeder 36"x18"x18" 1/3 of the tank has been converted into a overflow chamber, skimmerless and no reactors ATM.

I put about 35lbs or live rock for an openscape with 3 sides of viewing, peninsula style system.

So far I have kept flower pots, pipe organ, elegance, open brain, acans, micromussa,gorgonia, scolly's, lobos, carnation, dendro, black suncoral, fungia plate, blasto, symphyllia, wall anchor, cloves, rics, Duncan, Zoas, palys and
mushrooms with no problems, every thing is exploding with growth and colour.

Will be updating the pics tommorow....
