Keith's Tank

[keithtty]

My not so new tank. It is a 3x2x2 tank. Very old tank, but re-started in 2003.

Open top.

This is a shot before I decided to re-scape.....still figuring out how to re-do it.....

[keithtty]

I got this from a reefer. Nice colour and shape.

[keithtty]

Getting excited with some frags that I got from Joe_p.

Makes me want to go home a look at my tank every night...

[keithtty]

My tank veteran. Been with me since the re-start.

[keithtty]

And another beautiful frag...sorry, dunno what it is called.

[keithtty]

Tank bully. I dunno why....it chases everyone. Really everyone....I have always wanted to put in a flameback angel, but I dunno how to put in without getting whacked by this guy...

And another beautiful frag...sorry, dunno what it is called.

that's an echinata.

[keithtty]

Really dunno how to re-scape.

Everytime I see Henry's scaping, it is really depressing to see mine after....

[keithtty]

In 2003, there was a few post on SRC about eggcrate, which I thought was really clever. Behind all my LR is a eggcrate stand....I think this limits the scaping possibilities, other than a "fruit stall" display....any recommendations? I have half a mind to tear down and remove the eggcrate.

My sump:....

[acidjazz]

[acidjazz]

[keithtty]

This frag is getting me excited too....haha..

[keithtty]

keith, where's ur tubby?

Tubby is in a external reservoir.

Tubby is in a external reservoir.

Very nicely done. will pop by ur place if there's a chance since u stay so near.

[keithtty]

Is that a deltec FR?

Nope, it is a Reef Maniac FR.

I am a ardent supporter if MIS (Made in Singapore) Hehehe.....

topless tank. very clean and neat concept.

It looks like it's braceless too. How much did it cost for the tank setup?

[Tigger]

U are using 2x150w or 2x250w?

Suggest u tear away the egg crate. They are restricting u to have a 'see-through' from front to behind....and hence the 3rd dimension of depth is missing in the tank.

I throw away my eggcrate last few weeks...and the cave effects, etc...just appear without much effort.

[keithtty]

BFG,

yap it is braceless. The tank is about 10 years old (serious) so I dun think the price apply anymore. If you are asking about how much I have spent since I restarted in 2003....Gheee, I have a spreadsheet that my wife must never see.

Bro Tigger,

Haha...upgraded to 2x250W. DE lighting. I think they are pretty neat, except that I have no idea where to hide the ballast box. Now they sit on the floor beside my tank.

Especially with the price of electricity going up, I dunno what this is going to do to my electrical bill. Last month's one was a projected consumption. Now I have to hijack my bill when it comes. Ghee...this hobby is almost like having a mistress. haha.

Bro Nutx,

Yes, everytime I see Henry's tank in ML, i end up in despair. It seems inevitable now, that I will have to tear down ...AGAIN. I should have done it to begin with. Any advice on how to put aside the coral during this process? Another thought went through my mind, actually. If I am going through all that trouble, maybe I should consider a bigger tank. Haha...but this one will be tough to hide from my wife.

[Ancelot]

hey dude, dont despair. just tell ur wife that its a minor renovation for the better good of the future for the family's eyes. Haha Once she hears 'family' she will be thinking: "Gosh I have sucha good husband!! Wonderful! " Haha..

Anyways you got a very prospective tank, and with honesty, your sump is the simplest i have ever come across. Well done dude.

[keithtty]

Another full tank shot:

I decided. Gonna tear down the eggcrate behind. I have no idea how I am going to transfer the coral out.

[keithtty]

View from the side. The problem is that if I put in live rock which is partially cured, it will likely put all my nice stuff in jeopardy. Maybe I need to get rid of them first.
