Rev's 120g

RevHtree · 07/19/2008, 08:06 PM

Just thought I would share since I cleaned it up and took a pic.

I did remove some coralline from the over flow on the shot. I will also get a new shot once I clear out some stuff and clean it up better tomorrow. I set up a new frag tank so I could unjam the jammed tank! LOL!

6 months growth

bmwaaron · 07/19/2008, 08:37 PM

Very nice tank

You have a awsome the Acan collection.
Are you using Reeflux 10k bulbs (early shots I noticed it says Radium now)?

bmwaaron · 07/19/2008, 08:38 PM

Since you already went through the trouble of numbering everything why not tell us what they are. I really like number 11.

JR's Reef · 07/19/2008, 08:48 PM

Sweet Rev. But I think its time to upgrade allready. You have some nice stuff. Im planning to come up your way for the FS next month. You think it might be possable to stop by and see you tank in person?

RevHtree · 07/19/2008, 10:28 PM

Thanks!!

Number 11 is rose mili that has a blue base.

Joey, I don't think that will be a problem! Thanks bro!

filippo · 07/19/2008, 11:05 PM

wow. that's a great tank!! plus the lights color is just perfect (taking notes

).

how often do you do water changes? what temp do you keep your tank at?

IridescentLily · 07/20/2008, 01:17 AM

Wow! Unbelievable growth in six months.
What is that amazing bright red and green lps coral on the lower right of the tank?

melev · 07/20/2008, 03:10 AM

Is it true? Is it possible? Could I be smelling an All-Acan TOTM finally?

Jessy. · 07/20/2008, 03:14 AM

wow, this is the first tank that has made me drop my jaw and stare. REALLY great job on the rock work and the acan collection is just phenomenal. I had a 90gal that was similar to your reef in color variety and have since upgraded to a 150...Keep us updated, I'd love to see some macros of your acans, as I have a healthy variety in my tank too.

kar93 · 07/20/2008, 05:16 AM

Beautiful tank! That has to be TOTM material. Any shots of the systems brains?

(sump and equipment)

chris31 · 07/20/2008, 05:58 AM

all you pics you sand bed is perfect not a spec on it how do you do it???? Your tank is amazing

RevHtree · 07/20/2008, 07:02 AM

filippo- Thank you!

IridescentLily- Thanks and that coral is an Aussie Scoly. Here is a closer shot:

melev- Bro you trying to make me feel good or what? I got a long way to go for that! Thank you!

JessyCat77- Thank you as well and I will start adding some macro pics to this thread.

kar93- I'll get some updates shots of the equipment. It's all under the stand though so no tank room.......................yet......

chris31- It wasnt like that all the time, but with the high flow and it being established it stays clean pretty much all the time. Plus I really can't see the sand anymore...LOL! Thanks.

RevHtree · 07/20/2008, 07:04 AM

The scoly is actually more green and red than the macro. More like the FTS. Plus when its retracted a bit its brighter.

Eklikewhoa · 07/20/2008, 07:47 AM

Awesome looking tank bro!

I really want one of those Scoly's!

Reeftanks6 · 07/20/2008, 07:49 AM

Awesome tank my man. What kind of camrea are you using? Great growth with all the corals man.

dteske · 07/20/2008, 08:22 AM

Excellent growth and the colors are super vivid. I think it's time for me to try some 20k bulbs.

Reefun · 07/20/2008, 11:11 AM

Very nice work there .Could you name the numbered corals for us

And what does your frag tank look like?

tundra1000 · 07/20/2008, 12:53 PM

Great color? I'd vote totm-
What did you seed the Marco rock with?

RevHtree · 07/20/2008, 01:07 PM

Thank you all again!

The scoly is my favorite coral ever!

I seeded the Macro with 2 pieces of previous LR. Now you can't tell which is which.

For camera I am using a Canon XT with a Canon 100mm Macro lens on most all these shots.

I will try and point out all the corals I circled.

1. Green Polyp Leather
2. Green Birdnest
3. Blue Mili
4. Purple w/blue polyp cap
5. Green with Blue polyp cap
6. Acro
7. Some type of rainbow birdnest
8. Purple Rim Cap
9. Purple Stylo?
10. Acro
11. Pink Mili
12. Nepthia
