colgan10 · 01-04-2009, 07:41 PM

I have a 29g biocube with a 150w mh mod from nanotuners w/ a 14k phoenix. I will just post pictures and if you have any questions about my setup ill answer them. The picture of the full tank shot is the new reef scape since i added the RBTA.

Welcome to RS... Very Nice looking tank.. I love all the colors... How old is the tank?

AndtheBonus · 01-04-2009, 07:53 PM

Welcome to RS! Your tank looks great!

colgan10 · 01-04-2009, 07:54 PM

Thank you so much the tank is three years old, but it was mostly lps and soft coral until i got the mh upgrade about 8 months ago. I have always wanted a SPS dominated tank and i love it! I love your tank as well i really really want to get a much larger tank but i'm in dental school in louisville, ky and just don't have the money or the time to take on such a project right now!

Here are some new pictures of my reef tank. I changed up the live stock just a little bit.

colgan10 · 01-25-2009, 05:32 PM

Oh and I forgot to add that i ordered a Vortech mp 20 and it should be getting in sometime this week! I can't wait to put it in and see what it can do, if any of you all have any experience with these pumps i would love to hear about it.

looks great. its kinda empty around the rbta buts theres not much you can do about that. i would is looks great as is

colgan10 · 01-26-2009, 12:24 AM

Yea the area around my rbta isn't very full yet, but with zoas and xenia should grow up around the anem pretty quickly so it's just a waiting game there is a small frag of electric pink and green milli next to the rbta you can kinda see it it was a gift, but when i got it it was pretty brown compared to the mother colony so i'm hoping it will color back up!

Tank looks great, but i did vote for needs work. No tank that I have ever seen was "complete" because there is always something else that needs done better or fixed or moved or something, but you have a beautiful tank none-the-less and you should be proud of it.

Thanks man, you are so right, i am alway messing and tinkering and adding things so i agree with you 100% thanks for the nice words tho!
