Ok, I'll go first. Currently, I'm running the following setups:

55 gallon saltwater tank
About 60 pounds of live rock, aquac remora skimmer (2), yellow tang, green chromis, Yellowtail Blue Damsel, Zoanthids, Pulsing Xenia, 2 acropora corals, Crocea Clam, Turbo Snails, Cleaner Shrimps, maroon clownfish with Bubble Tip Anemone. T5-HO lights @ 8 x 54 watts. Water top-offs are with RO water with kalkwasser added using a Kent Marine Aquadose to slow drip when the lights are off. 10% water changes once a week.

28 Gallon nano cube Reef Tank


nanocube March 2008


Read about how I set up my Nanocube

10 gallon QT
Nothing in QT at the moment

55 gallon freshwater
Silver Dollars, Angelfish, various tetras

Two 6 gallon freshwater tanks (kids rooms) - their tanks, but I clean them. When they get bigger they'll be doing their own tank maintenance.

Saving up for a larger reef tank setup with a refugium.

Very cool. How long was the tank running (at the time of the pictures) and how much, if any, had the coral grown?
Also, any progress on the 28g nano-cube?

Mike

Thanks sirdarksol - the 55 saltwater tank has been up for awhile now... several years primarily a FOWLR. Clams maybe 9 months, birdsnest 4 months, acroporas and candy canes about 9 months too. Some montipora frags that are between 2 months and 9 months.

Just posted a pic above of the nanocube and a link to the setup article.

Thanks,
Mike

Really nice looking tanks. The nano cube is a great addition. How do you like the MH ? I bet the color (14K) is awesome in person.

Mike

Beautiful Tank! I would love to have a saltwater tank someday. It just seems to complicated and much to expensive for me at this point

Mike

Thanks newbee - expensive yes, not all that complicated though. Just have to research stuff before you buy it to make sure you have the equipment to care for it.

I would LOVE your tank! Great pics!

Mike

Thanks COBC

I want Halide lights and a Frag Shelf........

Looking good. I like the one in the picture second from the left on the top row. Bright yellow polyps. It's stuff like that, that makes me want to start a Nano SPS tank. Like I don't have enough water to change as is, right.

Mike

Haha! Thanks Goz. I wish I knew what species of coral that was... I was thinking pocillopora, but still not sure.
