RAPTURE'S 125g lps and softies

[rapture]

So , I cant find my tank thread so im starting a new one ! from this point on. I have a 125g reef ready. by leemar. it has starfire on the front only, mainly because I wanted to put power heads on the side with out the chance of some kind of fail, 2 its a little cheaper and 3 because how ofton do you look through the sides of your tank? I don't often enough to justify the extra $ im running a tunze powerhead, tunze Frankenstein return pump, ill explain later , lol , skimmer is an old g2 see I ant afford anything better at the moment. running a phosban reactor in my 65g leemar euro brace that I made into a sump. the refuge is pretty basic. im running an old cp light that I had found but it works wonders. I have a rio 800 for circulation in the fuge

the lights are 3 aqua illumination sol blues , I have them mounted inside the canopy and I love them

Is this a sailfin in this pic? If so how well does it get along with your yellow? Awesome looking tank by the way.

Is that a long tentacled plate coral, first pic, 5th post? Do they require hand feeding?

 

[rapture]

Yeah I hand feed all of the Lps also. It's allot of work but I enjoy it. I recommend feeding the fish first. Or the fish will try to steal the corals food. Made that mistake only once.
