3x3x2.5 cube tank

[mushroom]

After 3 months. Picture taken under 4 x 54W T5. I like the depth of a cube...

[mushroom]

Hardworking urchin.

[mushroom]

Blue-eyed anthias.

[mushroom]

Cleaning the hammer?

Papa clam and sons.

very nice anthias u have there ! where are they from ?

4xt5 seems pretty bright , wad tubes u using ?

[Maxstar81]

I thought people would be using MH for SPS & Clams ???

T5 can use ah ? I love the dept but not enough height for the LRs leh.

The stocks looks very healthy.

Love the anthias !!!

Can show pic of equipment ?

[hammy]

wow have the depth , but i think not enough rock

[mushroom]

Anthias from dear Henry@ML. Very healthy and curious specimens.

T5 is Aqualight T5. 2 x 10K, 2 x Actinic.

The 1 x 400W Luminarc MH is not turned on when I took these pictures. That's how I can put some acros near the bottom of the tank.

Not so many rocks right now so I can add corals as the tank gets built up.

NO3 is undetectable, so any additional rocks is for decoration, not for denitrification.

It should be 39w for 3ft tube since your tank is 3x3x2.5, right?

niceeeeeeeeeee

[mushroom]

Thanks, dersuz, for correction. Yes, my mistake, since 3ft should be 4 x 39W. Front glass is starphire so looks brighter even under just T5s.

You're the man! Starphire... I've been toying with this idea for my new tank... really can see the difference? (between your front and side panels)? WOW! A 400W MH for your tank?!? That's some serious sun u creating... can show us your equipments? Love the ANthias.

Equipment pictures follow since some are asking about it. Cabinet with chiller. Venting is via a side duct.

[mushroom]

Single luminarc-compatible 400W MH. I was deciding between 2 x 250W MH and 1 x 400W MH, Joe_P convinced me 400W is better.

[mushroom]

In-sump H&S skimmer. Sump takes up almost whole of bottom cabinet. Return is via a single MD40 tee-off to chiller and return. Elbows are minimized to maximize return flow. That's it for equipment - the only other equipment is calcium reactor.

My fat cucumber - working hard. Has been with me for 2 years since my previous tank. Keeps the sand white and shiny. My black sea cuke is really hardy, 1 year ago, this guy almost got torn into half when he climbed into my Tunze Stream, now he's as good as new.

[mushroom]

Sea hare trying to look like my cuke. I think the cuke is more handsome.

[mushroom]

The firefish almost always stays in full view of everyone. It sure likes to be admired.

[mushroom]

Bicolor blenny with a mouthful of sand. Watcha lookin' at.

[mushroom]

Looks like this montipora is colouring back up (it's supposed to be green on purple). It was transferred from my old tank.

[mushroom]

Feeding tentacles all out.

[mushroom]

More feeding tentacles.

Burp!
