After 36 years this is my what I have achieved tank.

Looks a heck of a lot nicer than my tank.

maybe Paul but then it's not been set up 46 years I think yours has been set up. It's one thing having a nice tank for a couple of years another keeping it nice year on year as you have with yours.

I think 36 years is a nice decent stretch.
Probably 30 years longer than 99% of most tanks around

Nooo lol. This tank has only been set up 16 months with the larger corals moved from tank to tank. I have been keeping marines for 3 years. This is my 11th tank I think it is in all that time.

Feeding time, vid just taken.

Swapped out my Hydra 26s for Radions now installed and programmed. 2xR15s and an XR30. All Gen 3s. Tank looks better and brighter with the XR30 replacing an XR15 in the middle I had last week but wasn't happy with.

I sold the tang on, it just didn't fit in with the scale of my other fish and looked out of place.

New video taken last night.

Very nice tank

New video taken yesterday, since the last video I have replaced the 2XRadion XR15s with 2 more Radion XR30 Gen 3 pros.

Your tank is absolutely beautiful! Quick question - what program are you using for the Radions? I'm just getting my tank started & have been playing around with some of the different programs & they seem to be either very heavily blue, or very stark white. This lighting looks perfect!

Atoll; in your video, at 0:46, what is the coral directly left of your Duncan?

 

[leahfiish]

Looks great! How many fish do you have?

 

[Tro]

Thanks, Paul, Not just the beatles of course but the stones, the who, kinks, cream, yardbirds and many many more.
I also think the smiles on my fishes faces are also down to what I feed them. I tried to feed a little flake the other day and my multibar angel to a bit and spit it in my face and said "hey man what is this rubbish cardboard you are putting n here as food, I am going to report you to the big fish god in the sky Pisces, now go and get me some real food and be quick about it" ;Rage

Atoll, wow! What a tank !!! Not sure if you're up for it but I would certainly welcome some expertise on my tank ! I live in a semi rural area and when I make trips to the LFS it seems I can never get the full story of a good tank and growth progression.

I run A 120g and am growing corals. Mostly softies with a couple clowns. A couple cardinals. And a tang. I'm having difficulty with what looks like cyano and Dino's.

I would like to improve my tank but I am not clear on best direction and I don't want to just throw money at it.

What would you say are fundamentals to a healthy system ?

I have chaeto in a refugium. Gfo reactor. I'm starting a kalkwasser drip. And will likely be adding more corals soon.

Btw. Is YES part of that across the pond music list ?

 

[ReefJCB]

Stunning! I hope that mine even ends up half as nice. Great job!

Thanks, my lighting schedule is nothing special and in fact I am still going through acclimatisation since replacing the XR15s with XR30s.

If I could only spell it. I think you mean the Gutartus?

Well there are IMO a number of influencing factors, obviously, water params but also water flow and detritus build up in the sand and enough cuc to keep it turned over. In truth, I also have a little cyno but I don't consider it such a problem. You mean YES the group? I do listened to themnow and again.

 

[Zagreus]

That is a beautiful tank setup, reef and great fish. That Midas blenny really is incredible and clearly likes you. Keep on inspiring us.

LOL. OK then, when its not hard to spell or pronounce what type of coral is it? I can't tell for sure if its a softy or maybe a milipora, but i like it
