My 120 Reef Chronicle!

SeahorseBT · 04-18-2009, 08:45 PM

I have finally moved up to the big boy tanks! I purchased a used 120 with everything I needed. The tank is lit by 2X150wt MH's and 2 T5's for supplemental lighting. It also came with most of the live rock you see and all the sand, a skimmer, sump, return pump, chiller,a yellow tip RBTA, a green bubble tip and magnificent anemone. I moved the YRBTA to my 46 so it would be safe while the tank cycled. I didn't have room for the other two anemones. The tank was just drained and moved and refilled with the same water so I don't think I will have a huge cycle. Here are some pics: Tell me what you think of the aquscape. I am not sure I like it....

This is the anemone in the 46 that will come back down when the tank finishes cycling.

I really like the scaping... the bridge looks exceptional

Thanks for the feedback guys, I like the bridge too.

Blake Excellent! It looks great...good job on the scaping. Those tangs are going to love the swim room.

Thanks Deb! I rearranged a few pieces to get a few more caves and now I think I like it.

Here are some pics of the adjusted scape.

Very nice Blake,
I too like your scaping skills

SeahorseBT · 04-21-2009, 11:31 PM

Thanks Jake and Jeff! Both you guys will have to stop by some time. I'll let you know if the RBTA splits Jake, I plan on feeding it to make it grow faster so hopefully it won't be that long....

I missed ya at the store today! I went in to check out the clowns and wow they are stunning!

SeahorseBT · 04-22-2009, 01:10 AM

Yeah, I don't work on Tuesdays. When I start driving I can work more hours though. Aren't those clowns awesome!? And did you see those HUGE copperbands and the scribbled angel? Those are the biggest I have ever seen.

Well after a long cycle, the tank has LIFE! Right now the inhabitants consist of..
-blue hippo tang
-Purple tang
-Pair of black occ. Clowns
-Coral Beauty
