Settled down at my new place, some pictures of my upgraded reef - previously in the normal 2ft tank (Mar 04') before decomission....

Hope the pictures turn up alright....

Thanks for the compliment sis- , i took some of them out of the old tank to try to do some propagation, so the new tank gets less of them, but i hope to fill em up in the new tank again..

My Purple Tang - missed him so much - victim of a fish dieoff recently when a nudibranch got sucked into my Tunze (be warned) - luckily my corals were not affected and my fish population is minimum...... but still a sad day for me ....

Thanks Bro

no worries.

u hv the same tank as i do. RIO 180? did u incorporate a overflow & sump? what skimmer r u using?

[tansh]

Hi,u using 2ft t5 for ur 3ft tank cos u mention 24w t5 X4?

[Jimng]

no worries.

Yep, a Juwel -dont know the model though -3 ft, tempered galss - cannot drill, i got my overflow at the other side of the wall, where the main tank is in the downline of the flow. Quite hard to explain....

I am using a no brand Skimmer currently, previously using a Tunze Skimmer in my 2ft, but have not incorporate it into the new tank yet....

Yep, u'r rite, 2ft T5 for my 3ft tank so the edge don't get a lot of lights, some decision to make then so you can see my sps are concentrated in the center zone and way up the tank.....
