Hello everyone. Let me start off by saying this will be a failt slow build, sorry in advance. I previously moved into a new residence. All of my fish are set up in a 6 foot 350 gallon swimming pool in the dinning room currently have a skimmer set up, a bio pellet reactor, and one Raidon (30?) to provide some light and keep the corals happy. Occupants currently include 2 semi-orange clowns, 1 mandarin, 1 wrasse (forgot what kind), 2 yellow tangs, 2 differnt Sailfin tangs, 2 Dussumeri tangs, 1 Achilles tang, 1 Gem tang, 1 orange shoulder, 2 fire shrimp, 1 sand sifting starfish, 1 orange Like starfish.
Tank: 8' x 3' x3' arylic
Stand: Alu Fabrication aluminum stand
Canopy: 2x10's stacked with the lighting strung with wire
Sump: Tsunami 9624 sump, with a capacity of 180 gallons
Lighting: three Orphek Atlantik lights
UV light: Lifegaurd 90 watt
Skimmer will likely be a Reef Octo 12" something lol. I used it on my 220 with good results. I have an MRC4 Skimmer, but I can't get the output to seal. Tried some acrylic solvent, but it just won't seal.
Automation: Tunze ATO. Trident setup.
My house is kept relatively warm, and I have three 1000-watt heaters. One of the return pumps will be from the UV, and the other two are normal returns. For now I bought one wavemaker DMP65 from overseas, gonna see how it plays out before buying more. I also have a Maxspec that will work. Theres two gyros.
Rocks! I've been fairly fortunate to buy several batches of Tonga branch rock and some other rock, possibly Pukani? It's currently curing. I used bleach to cure them. The bleach water has been drained off and is being degassed in normal water with lots of dechlorinator. I do have some other rock such are purple Marco and some from Addictive Reef keeping to help build structures.
Fish and corals: As you see I love my tangs. The new tank will continue to be primarily tangs. I do want a set of triggers, possibly the blue throat or pink tail. For corals, I do enjoy a mixed reef tank.
Until the next update!
