Very nice 130

 

[dmyers557]

That looks very nice. Can we get more pics of your livestock up close?

 

[Reefmack]

Welcome! Your tank looks pretty darn nice to me! More pics would be great!

Welcome!

Looks like you've got some nice corals there - lke the others I'd love to see some close up pics!

 

[reefmaster3024]

thanks guys, will try to post close ups. Cant seem to to compress them enough for this site. will work on it and post some in the next few days. As for the tank it is mostly zoas with sps and a few other corals in the mix. For lighting I use a 250 watt pheniox 14k bulb with atinics [very blue hard to get pics]. I run the stock skimmer very wet. have about half a gallon a day evaporation and skim. Not sure what you guys are getting.tank stays about 79-80 no chiller. just a big fan. Have had all sizes of tanks but love the nanos

sounds interesting - I like the idea of zoas and SPS.

RE Photos -lots of people here load their photos to a Photobucket account and just paste the links into their posts - that way you don't have to worry too much about resizing

reefmaster3024 - I have a similar setup with a raised hood, 150W HQI and 96W of T5 actinics. I'd guess that I'm close to that 1/2 gallon of topoff/day when I run my dual cooling fan in back in the summer. My tank stays about 79-80 as well, with a house temp. of 70-72 & no chiller. You can use Photobucket to get bigger pics posted.

Hi, thanks everyone for your comments. Here is an updated shot with a few additions. the others were from a few months ago.

 

[Reefmack]

Love the colors!

 

[Mavjoy]

Nice stuff you got there! Good variety of corals.

Wow, awesome tank! How long have you had it going to get to this wonderfully colourful stage?

Cheers,
Kenji

Reefmac,Mavjoy thanks. Ktakeda the tank is about 7 months old ,but rock and sand were already cycled. Cannot seem to get a good photo all the blue and red SPS looks brown and orange looks almost brown to.I have a cheap camera. I do a 10 gallon water change every week to keep water quality good . Also Im running 250 watt hqi lighting, kind of like cheating. I use 2 part kent nano every day also Purple up and 2 drops of lugals once a week thats it.
