Reefguard's Tank

Reefguard · 04-01-2004, 09:55 PM

I figured I show my tank off also in this new forum. Hehehe

Tha tank is 100 gallon wide. 48"l x 24"w and 20"tall with 1 1" built in overflow. DIY 36" tall stand and matching canopy. The tank is lit with 2 x 175 watt 10k Ushios and 2x65 watt Actinic PC.
36 gallon sump and Fuge combo. The sump houses the Kent Nautilus skimmer powered by a MAg 7, 2 heaters and the Mag 12 I use for return pump, with the discharge pumping water to feed the refugium as well.

The tank was an ugrade from my almost 2 1/2 year old 55 gallon reef. Upgrade was done almost 4 mos ago.

It is a mix reef, both softies and SPS and LPS frags(just started keeping them) and also 2 clams one red Crocea and a squamosa.

I only have 3 fish in the tank right now, I know I will be getting more just don't know when yet. Maybe tomorrow. I have more picture in my gallery. Thank you for reading this long a*^ post. LOL

Here is a fulltank shot taken about 2 weeks ago

My mistake. That was taken about 4 days after the upgrade.
Here how it looks now.

Yes, I agree..it looks very clean! The growth comparisons are amazing! I may have missed it but, is the tank acrylic or glass?

Reefguard · 04-02-2004, 10:13 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys. I am at work right now but I will post anyway, hehehe.

Gina, it is an acrylic tank, I should have put that in the first post.
