Sorry to hear about the sps hope it gets better for you

[klondike4001]

Me too, hopefully someone can help me figure it out.

[canelita]

Very cool.

[SurfnFish]

Awesome Tank. I like how you have the frag tank and the sump in your stand. Very sweet setup!

[klondike4001]

Thanks, I made a mistake when I first put it all together, the frag tank is too far to the right and I can't get the legs on the t5 fixture, so probably over Thanksgiving I'm going to drain and move it over so I can get the legs on the lights and finally get it the way I want it.

Plus a few new additions....
Acropora abrolhosensis




Radiant Wrasse

ORA Bellina (Not new, but coloring up very nicely)

Very nice , very neat, a complete compact system. NICE WORK !!

[Abraxos]

Very cool looking tank! I love the stand and the rock work. I have a Sailfin about the same size as yours in my 90. Do you know if the Radiant Wrasse is compatable with other reef-safe wrasses? I have a Melanarus currently?

[klondike4001]

I've got him in there w/ a Yellow coris, and marble and a 4 line w/o any problems, he doesn't bother anyone, probably one of the most docile fish I've ever owned.

[Dave's Reef]

How bout an update????? It's been awhile don't you think?

Very nice build btw, I really like your stand and canopy and how you have it so compact? Don't know if I missed it but what lighting are you running along with the T5's and also what are you running for your frag tank below?

Have you got any better shots of what you've got underneath?

Sure would like to see!

I have several new additions that have yet to be photographed, so I will be updating again on Monday or Tuesday. I'll include a few frag tank shots too.

[Dave's Reef]

WOW

Love your system! Looks really nice....

Can you get any shots of your frag set up underneath and more details please??? I'm thinking of a similar set up so that's why I'm pestering you, LOL...

Anyway, thanks for the update, I'll look forward to more!

Happy New Year!

[Dave's Reef]

Oh yeah,

How long have you been running the Zeo stuff for?

[H@rry]

How tall is that stand? I had thought about building one with a shelf like that but thought it would have to be too high. Also, what improvement have you seen with the Zeo stuff?

[klondike4001]

Dave's Reef,
You asked earlier about my lighting, on the frag tank I have a 36in Current Nove Extreme fixture, over the display I have 2 250W Reeflux 10k SE on Coralvue Ballasts w/ Lumen Bright 3 MINI's & 2 X 48in t5 actinics.

I'll get you some plumbing shots and layout of the frag tank this week.

I'm working on month #2 with ZEO.

H@rry,
Exact height? Don't remember, but the entire stand/tank/canopy is around 8.5 feet. I've seen amazing color changes and an overall brightening of my corals.
