hello everybody, my name is David. i own a 90g lps/sps reeftank that sits on a 48" cypress stand with matching 10" canopy. i run two icecap 430's with four 46 1/2" uri super actinic and two 46 1/2" uri actinic white. filtration is provided by 110 lbs fiji ultra live rock, 40 lbs fiji live sand, a 29g refugium, euroreef rs5-2. i run carbon 24-7 that gets changed every 2 weeks and polyfilter that gets changed every 3 weeks. the tank is kept at a temp of 80 degrees using an aquanetics 1/6hp chiller. for water movement i have a little giant mdqx-4 for the returns, 1 tunze electronic 7300/2 contolled by a single controller(soon to be multi as i am getting a second 7300/2). one maxijet 1200(soon to be replaced). i perform a 15 gallon water change every two weeks. to keep levels pristine. the fish i currently house are 1 bangaii cardinal(1 died in my last move), 1 orchid dottyback, 2 yellow coris wrasse, 1 carpenters flasher wrasse. will be adding a few more wrasses, mostly fairies. inverts consist of 1 large carribean red serpent star that is about 3 years old, 1 harlaquin serpent star, about 20 scarlet hemits, qbout 10 blue legs, about 3 hawiian zebras, about 20 astrea snails, 1 hawiian black cuccumber, 5 emerald crabs, and a couple acro crabs. i guess thats sbout it for that tank, now heres some pictures.

Welcome to Reef Sanctuary!!!

Very nice tank and corals you have there! Thanks for sharing. I like your aquascaping! How are your rocks attached?

typo · 05-27-2005, 03:42 AM

thank you. the rocks are just very carefully placed together.

rckmtl · 05-27-2005, 04:57 AM

Welcome aboard! Spectacular tank you've got there. I love the open rockwork! I bet your fish love it too.

Nice set up! I love Wrasse fish!
Glad to have you here, pull up a chair and stay awhile!

Very Sweet setup!!

Welcome to RS~~

Woodstock · 05-27-2005, 08:48 AM

I can't help but wonder how long it took you to get the aquascaping like that. When I replace my rock with new, the real challenge will be the aquascaping!!

I seem to be aquascape-challenged

thanks guys for the warm welcome and the compliments.

wrasse are my favorite fish, so there will be more.

woodstock: it only took me about 45 minutes to get them that way. i do this for a living so it comes with ease after setting up so many.
