Amazing tank.

Chalk Basslet only?

 

[M&M]

Thank you guys, I feed my tank twice a day and if I am home early or weekends I feed even more. Most of my corals are easy NPS, so far this schedule works fine. As far as fish, right now I have 3 chalk basslets and pair of Fathead anthias, they are shy and hard to get a picture of them , but here we go.

Future plans are to add a group of ventralis anthias and pair of either Tinkeri butterfly of Bandit angels. I am scared that either might sample my meaty sun corals, so decision has not been made yet for sure.

Beautiful tank.

 

[M&M]

Filtration is simple , big skimmer ATI Powercone 200 IS, 10 liters of siporax in sump , 40 gal. refugium with macro algae for additional nutrient removal, I change 30 gal. of water weekly or 50 gal. every two weeks if I get too busy to do weekly change. Bag of carbon and Purigen passive in sump. I use filter socks , that I change every 3 days. Filtration system is located in closet next to tank.

refugium after few weeks, all kind of algae growth, none gets in DT,

after harvesting algae

skimmer cup after two days

room where my tank is located

Wow I love this! Beautiful tank and it is tied into the room so nicely!

Can we get a pic of the tank on the otherside of the room? It almost looks like it is floating.

No problem, right now this tank is empty, but before I set up my big one this small tank looked like this

Here are few pictures showing my light system, since NPS corals don't need light I only use minimal light for short amount of time each day. Two 3W blue spotlight LED and one PAR30 22K LED bulb from Coral Compulsion , only 5 hours a day when I get home. This way algae can not take foothold anywhere in DT, not enough light .

Pure eye candy!!

That is awesome! What size is that tank? I am loving the look, but I would be so afraid of the brackets ripping out of the wall lol. How did you have them secured?
