Hello All,
I've been keeping saltwater for quite a while. This tank was a saltwater, trying to be a reef tank, started in 2000. It failed miserably but I kept trying til 2003. It was then broken down and became a heavily planted, CO2 infused freshwater tank. Beautiful and my husband's dream tank. We divorced and I took the tank. I then realized that I missed my saltwater and restarted it in December of 2008. I've done a lot of research and am trying to do it right this time around.
Tank Specs
Display: 46 Gallon Bow Front
Lighting: Aquatinic's T5X 5 bulb T5 fixture with individual reflectors
Filtration: Sump containing Purigen, and a skimmer, ~60 lbs of live rock
Circulation: Return from the sump and a korelia 2
Fish
- 1 scissor tail blenny
- 1 Black and white occ. clown
- 1 Peppermint Shrimp
- Misc. CUC
Corals
- Pink tipped frogspawn
- Various rics
- Various mushrooms
- Various zoas
- Blue Cloves
- Birdsnest
- Orange digi
- Pink and green sps (i forget what kind)
- A nice SPS from Weetie with dark green polyps
This is an old FTS. I will try to get a newer one this weekend.
