Doc's 120g Reef

reefaddictionrx · Jun 11, 2011

So I've been on way too long with out posting anything about my tank. Frank (twinspot) introduced me to the site over a year ago, and I must admit, I'm addicted to it.

So here is my set up...

Has been set up 1 1/2 years, although about half of the live stock came from a 5hr move from a 72g I had in Illinois.

Current Extreme T5 setup, 8x54W (Blue Plus, Purple Plus, Actinic White)

About 200g total setup, with a 60 gallon sump and a 20g refugium. Vertex 250 skimmer.

Pics of the 120g and a video!

This is a small Acropora solitaryensis that I found while I was up in Chicago in early April. I'd love to find a frag of the $500 somewhere...

Small Darwin clown a guy moving out of the area gave me. I really like the coloring on these.

Thanks Jiffy and Nater. It's time for non iphone pics anyway... I'll try to get a couple refugium pics up. It's nothing fancy. Just a rubbermaid container stacked up higher than the sump. With a ton of cheato.

Very impressive tank. What kind of dosing do you do?

reefaddictionrx · Aug 23, 2011

Thanks clowndude... I have four types of clowns in there!

Just dose BRS calcium/alk/and mag. Daily bolus of Ca, continual drip of alk, and maybe monthly Mag.

Has worked out pretty well...

Just thumbing thru the member tanks and came across yours. All I can say is WOW!!! This is a nice set up. The sps is growing nice and it seams like the tangs are happy. I'm always looking for ideas on my 120 that I plan on doing. I haven't got it up and running yet (trying to figure out which route to take, sps, lps or softies). Anyway, great looking tank. Love the achilies, but afraid of the loss. :bigsmile:
