thanks kelso1980 and misled. it has some tissue recession right in the middle so itll be getting fragged rather soon in an attempt to save the rest.

Bernie21 · 01/16/2009, 02:25 PM

Nice finds there...

Michael · 01/16/2009, 02:27 PM

the last 1s a milli phish, all corals are very nice, good choices

btb72 · 01/16/2009, 04:28 PM

Hey michael do you like your phos reactor?

Michael · 01/16/2009, 04:30 PM

yep i do, its pretty large and can take a decent amount of media, i only fill it 1 quarter though, but it was a good buy

charleskeller · 01/16/2009, 05:30 PM

I think I'll chime in with some pics of my 44g pentagon tank.

I have started on the custom canopy. There is just no way to put a descent light on top of this tank and it still look ok. I am going to paint the canopy and stand black and have ordered a new black tank to replace this one that is 6-7yrs old and loosing its seals.

As far as the sump I gave up on having one underneath and put a hole in the wall behind the tank and have a 29g sump in my utility room. I went ahead and put a 20L on top of the 29 sump stand while i was at it.

Hookup · 01/16/2009, 06:19 PM

charleskeller welcome to the corner group, where your issue is our pain! hahaha... seriously, nice to have you here and great photos.

Thats alot of fans, do you get any noise from them?

Hookup · 01/16/2009, 06:19 PM

Phish Guy! Nice corals... Will be nice to see that Millipora color up.. any idea about it's true color?

charleskeller · 01/16/2009, 06:28 PM

yeah...noisy fans. i don't mind that much. i'm acutally going to switch to a couple 4" fans when i get the light mounted into the canopy and remove the glass top. next week i'll be off work and there will be a lot of work done to it.

btb72 · 01/16/2009, 09:39 PM

not tight, i basically designed the sump so the reactor could hang on the front and the cabinet door would still close, fits like a glove really

phish guy · 01/17/2009, 10:41 AM

welcome to the cornerarians club charleskeller.

hookup i dont know its true color. i did have an AcroTenius right when i got into SPS, same kinda color, whitish cream with blue tips. though i do hope it blues up more. the tissue recesion spread, quick (yeah RTN!) i just fragged it up into 5 pieces. hopefully they all survive. Keep your fingers crossed!

Michael · 01/17/2009, 11:32 AM

very nice tank charles, any chance you can re-post with a spec for it, nice work it looks great in the position its in, a great room divider, looks a picture

charleskeller · 01/17/2009, 01:20 PM

Micheal - What kind of specs are you looking for? Here are some...

Tank - 44g Perfecto Pentagon, factory stand, custom canopy
Lighting - Current Sunpod 150w MH, Hamilton 14K bulb (current 14k pictured)
Circulation - Maxijet 900 (2), Koralia 1, Koralia 2
Filtration - 29g Fuge, ASM G1 Skimmer, Turbotwist 9w UV, Phosban Reactor (all under the tank, yeah right lol)
Other - 20L frag with 130w PC above sump, 1/3HP chiller

I'll try to take a better shot of the tank showing its location later.

thats great thanks, it would be interesting to see the sump and frag tank when you can get a pic, oh by the way welcome to the club, nice to have you here as part of it

charleskeller · 01/17/2009, 02:58 PM

thanks for the welcomes...

I forgot the return pumps. I'm using a Rio 1700 for the frag tank and a Rio 2500 for the display (44g). I plan to combine them some day but for now they are working.

i'll get some pics soon!

Misled · 01/17/2009, 08:37 PM

So I picked up a few pieces of live rock and some live sand from my favorite LFS. So far there's 2 blue leg hermits, 8 astrea snails and a couple butt loads of baby cerith snails.

sdoggssf · 01/17/2009, 09:06 PM

Just sharing a few pictures of my 54 corner...

kelso1980 · 01/17/2009, 09:52 PM

oooh, those are really beautiful! could you tell me the names of each of those. I'm not good with the names of coral and I'm trying to get better.

Michael · 01/18/2009, 01:11 AM

jesse, whats your long term plans, mixed reef? sdoggssf, very nice pics, plenty of corraline i notice as well, beautiful tank

charleskeller · 01/18/2009, 07:27 AM

Has anyone drilled a 44g Pentagon before?

My new black trimmed replacement tank comes in this week and I ordered some holesaws last night. I think I'm going to try it.

Michael · 01/18/2009, 08:46 AM

not me charles, i use a hang on overflow box, but its possible and hopefully someone will chip in here, if not try the DIY forum, someone there will definately know

Neurotech · 01/18/2009, 09:46 AM

I tried this before - but you are getting a great response. Here are my fomer attempts. I posted this link on those threads so we can gather those folks too.

So i finally got to add all those frags (17 in all), but it looks a little funny with little circles, but hopefully in about a month they will all be grown over. From the other pictures i moved the LPS' down to the lower part of the tank (frogspawn and trumpet coral) and i'm going to make the top half of the tank into the sps half of the tank. I'll get some pics up later.
