I wanted to start a thread to show all of you my tank as it has evolved over the last 1.5 years. The tank was started on April 2005. I planned to start it with just LR and no corals, but after buying a PC fixture I decided to get some softies. In a couple months i managed to squeeze 770 watts of VHOs in the canopy ran by two icecap ballasts. At the end of summer 2005 I experienced my first tank crash. The tank overheated (~90 degrees) and killed everything. I was very upset and almost quit the hobby, but I vowed that this wouldn't stop me. I told myself that I would make a tank 10x better than this one. By the end of the year I upgraded to Metal Halides and increased my flow to two Seio 1100s. The tank also had various Softies, LPS, and SPS.
On January 2006, I decided to go Bare-bottom. I never had any algae problems, but I just wanted to try something new. I caught the SPS bug and wanted to get rid of everything else. I wanted to create the BEST environment for my SPS.
Soon after I added all kinds of equipment.
1. Tunze 6000 and 6100 w/ 7095 multi-controller
2. Aquacontroller
3. Deltec AP600
In around July of 2006 I decided to upgrade my skimmer to an AP701 and the 6000 to a 6100.
I have since went 100% SPS!!! I have however caught the zoa bug and began my new addiction.
Thanks for looking!!!
