BioFreak's Triple View Tank

Hey all,

Finally got my new tank running completely. It is a 240g that is viewable from three different rooms in my house. This what I am upgrading from, it was a 50g bowfront w/o a sump:




Here is the front view, from my Entertainment area (Currently kids toy room):



Here is a view from my dinning room and the Back of the Tank:



The third view is from our Living Room which is a side view of it's Left Side.



It will be a Reef tank. Currently everything but my Lawnmower Blenny and the Ricordeas from my original tank died off. Grounding probes work wonders.

Wow! Congrat-ya-damn-lations!!! Awesome setup. Just know your gonna have a blast filling that up with goodies

 

Very nice tank.

 

B-E-A-utiful

 

Just bought some extra to make things better...

I have 2 SeaSideAquatics Reactor Chambers, a MF-100M & a MF-100L. The 100L is a 23" canister that is holds 4 Liters and the Medium is a 2.5L chamber. The larger will be used for Carbon and the smaller for GFO. And, for when my water starts evaporating to much a JBJ auto top-off. I also have bought some new Hanna testers, the Phosphate, Calcium and Alkalinity testers. Also, a new Salifert Magnesium tester. Last but not least, a Milwaukee PH meter.

Now that it's been running for about two and almost all the algae has died off, I believe it has cycled. I tested it with no out of the ordinary readings. Took a sample to to different LFSs and they both said things were great; so now the fun begins. I haven't downloaded the photos yet but, tomorrow after work I will post the livestock pics.

This is what is in the tank as of now:
several (20+) assorted hermits
several nerite, nassarius & cerith snails
1 Fighting Conch
3 Mexican Turbos
3 Feather Dusters
1 Colony of Button polyps
2 Orange & 2 Green Ricordeas
1 Colony of Xenia
1 Purple Idaho Grape, Montipora Undata
1 Nuclear Green Leptoseris (but will ask for opinions on ID once photo is posted)
1 Tri-Cup Coral (?chalice/monti?, will ask for opinions on ID once photo is posted)
1 Maxi Mini Carpet Anemone
1 Green Bubble Tip Anemone, Pink Tipped
1 Rose Bubble Tip Anemone
1 Pincushion Urchin
1 Lawnmower Blenny

Please don't criticize me not all of these were added today or last night it has been over the last few weeks but, I have now done a full stock list and taken pictures of all.

 

will you be adding more sand?

congrats!

 

Thank You and No, It already has a 3" bed all the way across it.

 

Ah! Just noticed only the first picture didn't have all the sand in and the other pictures show the tank with more sand. My mistake!

 

Rose Bubble Tip Anemone


Purple Idaho Grape (Monti Undata)


Nuclear Green Leptoseris


Tri-Cup Coral (Monti)


So there are the photos I have thus far, can you guys help Ident the Tri-Cup. I have figured out what the unknown one is as you can tell the Leptoseris.

 

Congrats pn the upgrade, sorry on the losses from the first tank
