hi paul,
my tank is pretty basic.its a 60G 48" wide. single 20k metal halide. 2 blue actinics. single overflowbox. sock filter. red sea skimmer. 30g sump. no fuge though. 1/8hp chiller if i remember correctly
i've got some fishies and other inverts, but the nemo is the only badass in the tank. all the other guys got spooked from the flash.
i had some firefish, purple firefish, diamond back goby, 1 fat blenny, a blue and a pink damsels, many chromis, scotts fairy wrasse, emerald crabs, pompom crab, 2 mated fire shrimps, 2 mated cleaner shrimps, feather duster and a bunch of other guys.
my tank mostly consisted of softies and some LPS coral.
a lot of zoathids and some pulsing xenias.
i wish i had more room to add in a calc reactor so i could start getting into SPS but i have this tank set up on my wet bar and it simply did not allow much more room for parts.
im planning, or atleast hope to have some party cash to start up a new tank downstairs by the end of summer. im going to try and shoot for a 240 or 280G. its gunna be a marriage
reefing is a serious hobby. you really gotta bust ass if you want a good looking setup. it's basically playing god and mother nature. you're pretty much responsible for running an entire eco system. one tiny mistake and there goes you're entire life's hard work.
tons of books and magazines, lot's of reading, research, marine biology and oceanography all helped me learn and understand the science of life and evolution. reef hobby is just more than just having a pretty tank. you learn a lot of things and it shows, and people easily notice it.
gotta have lots of respect for reefers. especially guys than have anything bigger than a 60G.
show your pics!
heres some more. hope you have a big computer screen. ENJOY!
