Hey everyone,

I'm new to these boards and just wanted to share some photos of my baby!

Tank Details:

30g show acrylic - 36x12x16(h)
-50 lb. LR, Fiji Pink Arag Sand
20g AGA sump/fuge tank in stand
-15 lb. LR and a jungle of chaeto

250w Aqua Medic Ocean Light pendant w/ 20K DE HQI AB bulb
Aqua C Remora Skimmer
Aqua Clear HOB w/ Chemipure and Poly Filter


I initially started w/ a Via Aqua 28g and I then transferred everything over into my current 30g + 20g sump.

This is one of my favorite full tank shots, taken on 1-14-05:

The pinks...

Although I tried to fight it as long as I could, I finally caved and realized that it's okay for a guy to have pink in his tank! haha. And no reef is fully complete w/o pink IMO. ;)

Most updated full tank shot - 2-1-05

I'm trying to convert my tank into primarily SPS and LPS only. So i sold a lot of my zoo's and ric floridas. Hence a lot of missing coral in this pic from the first one I posted above. Looks a little more bare to me now. but I'll fill up the spaces soon enough. =)

Okay, that's all for now. Hope you've enjoyed the photos! I'll post more as I take them.

BTW, how do you like your lighting setup?
I have a 36x18x15 tank with 2x250 watt halides in a PFO parallel reflector.
I'm considering going to a single 400watt or maybe 250 watt DE setup.
I would probably have to purge my SPS collection to only the ones I really really want.

Thanks! So far I've been happy w/ my one 250w DE pendant. To be safe, I've limited the SPS to pretty much the very top of the tank. I've seen great color retention and actually a lot of improved coloration, but I think I could move them a little lower if I wanted since the tank is only 16" tall.

But I doubt I can keep them as colorful towards the very ends of my tank w/ the one pendant.

Here's a macro pic of my most recent addition...blue polyp danae...it's a monster and I definitely will need to frag it down.

TB,
Glad you mde it over here! Your tank looks gorgeous...as always.
I had to laugh at your struggle to come to terms with the color pink! Glad you were able to accept it.

I wanna see some close ups of your two clams! The tear drop is really sharp and your new Crocea is smokin!

Absolutley outstanding! Beautiful reef! Love the clams, they look very happy! I also enjoyed the Pink Yuma and CoCo Worm they really stand out in your tank. By the way, have you check out our Acan thread? You should post some shots of your there!
Welcome to our Sanctuary!

Thanks, everyone!

haha...too funny, Fate...I dont think i took over (I just liked to post pictures a lot). But I would like to diversify and see other reef communities online and hopefully get away from some of the drama. =) And a "sanctuary" sure does sound like the best place for that. lol.
