Hello to the fellow reef enthusiast,

The tank is a custom 5'long x 3'wide x 16" tall. It has a coast to coast overflow on the 3' side. The equipment is all built by me and consist of a 10" dia skimmer using a laguna pump, kalk stirrer, doble stage calcium reactor, ATO, dolphyn pump, 1/2hp chiller, 2 flow accelerators, 1 jebao wp20, jebao wp-4 doser and for lighting Im using 4 black boxes with custom specktrums.

Couple of my corals.

Is this a JF Fox Flame colony on the left? It is beautiful.

Awesome tank you have there. Great colors too, what type of lights are you running?

 

[Chac317]

Also, I see you're from Puerto Rico. Collect anything straight from the ocean? Or are there decent stores there?

Yes its a jf fox flame that I got from a friend that was having problems with his tank. When I got it, it looked like a translucent corn flake. After taking care of it for sometime it started comming through and shes growing like crazy now.

Looks like I need to start buying corn flakes haha. I just ordered my frag the other day. It's nice to see a great example of a small colony once it settles in. Great tank!

We got a preatty decent industry here.
In terms of marine life we have good marine life in the caribbean but corals are not allowed in the menu.
In terms of fish there are many species that are sold in the industry like blue reef chromies, queen angels, french angels, rock beautys, lightning wrass, pudding wife, hawkfish, blue tang, surgeon tang, swissguard basslet, etc
