Figured I would share our tank with you guys since the other forum doesn't have much going on at all. You may have seen me on other boards as Piper27, I made this name for fun and because I am tired of our old one...
Well anyways, this is just one of the tanks connected to this system. The other three are 40 breeders, one for sps, one for lps, and one for a refuge which both drain to before hitting the sump, which is also a 40 breeder. This tank is a custom built tank that's 3' × 2' × 12" high. Its acrylic which I hate but was easy to drill. There are 9 holes in it for the closed loop and drains and such. Currently I need to upgrade the little 1250gph little giant closed loop pump to something at least around 2000gph because there isn't enough flow in there and with the mass broadcast feedings we do daily, bubbles get everywhere. Along with that and bad bubble algae thoes are the only negatives so far. We have grown basically every single colony from small frags or single polyp frags.
The only time we cut colonies is when they become to big or overgrown. We desperately need to set up a large tank. We had a 210 mixed reef but had to break it down last year. It became sps dominated which is how this tank evolved, I bought it for my girl to house her corals in. With her coral eye she brings home stuff often which is how we ended up with three tanks on this system. I love sps but the way she made this tank look has turned my eye to polyps as well!
Here is a front tank shot for now.
How do I post a pic on here with tapatalk where it just shows the image without making it an attachment? When I figure that out I will post more pics, I hate clicking on attachments.
