I have had this tank for a little longer than a year and it has had some hard times. The first issue was a crash caused by ALK instability. I fixed that and then I had an algae outbreak. I am now restocking the tank because I have these issues under control.


Fish livestock:
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Tri-Color Fairy Wrasse
Vlamingi Tang
Lawnmower Blenny
Grade B Picasso Clown
SA Misbar Onyx Clown
Green Clown Goby

Invert livestock:
Long Spine Sea Urchin
5 Turbo Snails
Roughly 15 crabs (Scarlet reef, left handed sebra stripe, and blue leg)

Here are some pictures of some of the corals in the tank:

That is gorgeous - very jealous. Are you running stock lighting? Looks more blue. I'd love to know what bulb combo you are running.

Thank you! Patience is a primary key to reef photography imo. But it is very hard to keep while performing reef photography,lol.

That is a great tank. With that bulb setup, is it really that blue or does it appear less so in person? I like how blue it is.

Also, where do you get your corals?

Thank you! I love the chalices as well, the color and pattern possibilities on them seem to never end!

Thank you! I use 4 ATI Blue Plus, 1 Fiji purple, 1 ATI Aquablue Special. The tank is cool blue/whitish blue in person.

I get my corals from lots of different places. A lot of the colonies come from LA Divers Den-Here you have to be quick though as the cherry things go within minutes of being posted- and Extreme Corals-which is basically the same situation as DD.

My frags come from multiple online vendors and other collectors in the hobby. Some that I shop at more often than others are World Wide Corals, Addicting Corals, and Jason Fox Signature Corals.
