Nuch's 45 gallon

[Nuch]

So this is my tank as of today. Will post info from beginning. #reef2reef #worldwidecorals #mywwccontest

 

[Nuch]

So this is my new tank (hopefully no upgrade in site, atleast till it fills up) had everything from 10 gallons to 280.

Picked up a red sea 250 sump

Love this vinyl tube plumbing so easy and faster. Always use pvc. But i wanted water fast.

Always loved display fuges. Always had them in all my tanks. Even had a mantis shrimp in my 110 build

Not gonna bore you guys with individual pic of coral i added. But this one i like. Started a hammer and frogspawn rock.

 

[Nuch]

When i get bored and have no money for coral i just do other stuff to the tank.

 

[Nuch]

Agian bored and started a cheato reactor.

 

[Nuch]

Works great.

Then started my own live phytoplankton.

After a week i split it and gave some away to locals. So gave me frags. Even shipped some out.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

So you refrigerate the phyto?

The tank looks great, Nuch - it's nice to have a reminder now and again of how beautiful a reef can be with softies and LPS corals!

I like your little side-projects as well - I'm sure that phyto will come in handy!

Nuch this is pretty cool. So i have the same stand the same tank, the same skimmer as you, and i made a box on the right side for my controllers. I started mine in april 2016. Your tank looks great. Here is a shot of mine.

What kind of light are you using? I also added an extra removable panel on the left of my stand to get to the sump easier.

Very nic jhuggins! I use Chinese ebay led. It's been great for my corals so far. I like yourside panel.
