| 120 Gallon Reef Tank | |||
|
This is our main display tank. It was started in March 2009. I purchased the tank, all of the equipment, all of the fish and many of the corals from Matt at Pets Unlimited in Marietta, GA. This tank has gone through its share of issues, Aiptasia, Bryopsis and Hair Algae outbreaks and disease. The Aiptasia outbreak was cured by the Copperband Butterflyfish. He ate every one of them in about a week. The nuisance algea was fixed by adding tons of snails, hermits, the Rabbitfish and Tang. I also manually pulled it out and scrubbed the rocks with a toothbrush. We also lost about half the fish due to a Marine Velvet outbreak. Always quarantine or at least dip your fish! The pictures below are how the tank looks now. These were taken in October 2009 when the tank was about 7.5 months old. |

This is my wife's tank. She always wanted to have a dedicated Seahorse tank. This tank has lower light corals, 3 Seahorses, 1 Blue Line Pipefish, 2 Dragon Pipefish and a Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse. It uses a Fluval 305 canister filter and a Coralife 65g Protein Skimmer. The tank has 4 36" T5 HO lights. We run 2 18,000k, 1 10,000k and 1 Actinic 460nm bulb. This tank has been running for about 6 months. |

 75 Gallon Reef This was our second tank. We had it for about a year before we got the 120 gallon and sold this one. The tank wasn't drilled so it ran with a Coralife 125g hang-on Protein Skimmer and a Fluval 405 canister filter. It had a Current 8x54 watt (432 watts total) T5 HO light fixture. The picture above was how the tank looked right before we tore it down. |
 29 Gallon Reef This was our first tank started in March 2008. We only had this one for 3 months or so before we needed more space and got the 75 gallon. We learned a lot with this tank but we never really made it look good. This tank used a hang on the back bio-wheel filter and 2x65 watt Compact Fluorescent fixture. The picture above was about how it looked a month before it went on Craig's List. |
