Me and my Tank

michael_cb_125 · 12-15-2006, 07:47 PM

I have just recently gotten into this hooby. I am 18 and in college. I currently have three reef tanks and my new super tank is in the process. Two of the tanks are nanos. one is 12 and the other 24.My large tank now is 50 gal. i have poylps, shrooms, and two acros. Fish include yrllow tang, ocelleris, maroon clown, percula, clown, royal gramma, purple psuedo, bicolor blenny, mandarin dragonette, male and female lyre tail anthias, blue tang, cardinal, clarkii clown. I also have 3 BTAs and 1 condy.

I am currently working on my large sps and clam tank. I have 250 watt metal halides mixed with VHO T-5s. For a total of 10 watts per gallon. Plenty of light for sps and clams, but a little much for softies. Filtration is provided by an ehiem pro canister filter for mechanical, a refugium, uv sterilizer, skimmer, and of course live rock. i use tonga branch and plate to create a very open rockscape. The tank is just now being setup and i plan on waiting about 6 months before adding many corals.
