Rick's 4x2x2 Reeftank

You have a nice reef tank. Keep up the good work, pafc64.

What are your plans for the empty tank next to your main display? :

 

Hi Seano
Thanks for the compliment.
I originally wanted a 6ft tank but had issues with getting it into the house & seeing as Me & the wife like Puffers & some other not reef safe fish I figured I would get a 4ft tank for Reefing & a 2ft cube to use it for a QT to start with & then turn it into a FOWLR later.
Due to spiralling power prices here I shut it down,but now I have had a 4.6kw solar PV system installed to help lower the power prices & when I get all the gear I need Ill start it up then,
I've since bought a smaller tank that I use for Quarantine when I need it & keep the filter in My outside waterchange vessel ready to go.

 

It looks like all of your corals are really happy in your tank. Great job!

 

Thanks
I try to keep them as happy as I can,I think the most important thing I did was wait until I was certain My tank had matured & levels were stable before I added any corals,at 9 months old I added the Torch coral & Elegance coral both frags & its only been the last 4 months Ive added the rest.
After seeing so many people rush in & have heaps of coral deaths & problems I was determined to be patient & get things right.

 

Nice setup....love the solar panels to help offset the power cost.

 

Hi
OK I put in a new skimmer today as I broke the needlewheel on the old one & wanted a new one anyway so I got a Bubble Magus BM220-CS.
Happy with it so far



Fluro green Trachyphyllia


Pink Scolymia


Heliofungia


Not sure why the Clown has sores on both sides is it because its now hosting in an Elegance Coral & being stung?


ATC800 that controls My Heaters & Chiller so they aren't fighting each other

 

I like the black too... looks really nice with the colors in the tank
