izumo's house tank

[izumo75]

Hi all, i'm starting a thread for my house tank. Started the tank on 15th Aug 2006 (last month). It's a 4x2x2.5 ft partition tank and bought over from a reefer who gave up. I consider myself lucky, the tank is just nice and suits my requirement, plus it's cheaper and I don't need to wait for 3 weeks as compared to getting a new custom made one.

r u the reefer who got the tank from bro ioridel?

looks familiar

[dumdum]

wah bro..... finally posting your tank pics ah??

[izumo75]

As a newbie in reefing, i hope can get advices from all the experienced reefer here on how to properly maintain my reef tank. So bros and sis, please do help me on this, thank you all.

[izumo75]

To start the tank, i bought the water from the "seawater" uncle, recommended by Iwarna. The LR were from the brothers in the forum, then i bought 2 packages of live sands from aquamarin. Checking the ammonia and nitrite level, both undetectable, guessed the tank was really ready.

dude, brown tang is very aggressive. Need to take note when adding new specimens of fishes.

my brown tang did not sustain long, it got ich and died. Actually I was quite anxious when i got the yellow tang which is smaller in size, but it turned out the brown tang was being attacked instead, dunno why.

Got 2 seahorses from Aquamarin last week and 1 from I-aquarium. Still having problem of getting them to eat.

Have some sunnies, not all fully trained to open yet.

[izumo75]

very very nice partition tank!

my ideal size of a partition tank in fact, but too bad, cant support the size with my current financial situation.

anyway, very nice scaping!!! maybe could build the bridge a little higher. think will be better...

keep the pictures rolling!

show some pics of the sump and equipment k..

my stinging coral collection, bubbles, pearl bubbles, hammers, frogspawn, torch. Got nice light green elegance on top

[izumo75]

My second elegance. It has luminous light green centre, with white tentacles and blue tips. Very sweet color, too bad, in the pic looks too blue.
