barbianj's stuff Time for a new reef tank

Great corals and shots

 

Thank you. When I saw a colony of that chalice, I knew I wanted one, but when I found out what the price was, I was only willing to try a very, very, very small frag!

Thanks!

I'm really liking the Rotundoflora. The camera can't capture the orange correctly, but it's continuing to color up more.



Random pictures that I liked.

 

And another...

 

Niceeeeeeeeeee buddy

 

New picture of my RWC. I like this one, it's starting to eat larger food and growing good.

 

More great looking animals and shots, congrats

 

I really enjoy the images of your corals and fish. ;D

 

Thanks, appreciate it!

Well, then, I have to post more. ;D I'm always working on something. Just assembled an Avast cone skimmer last week that I'm extremely pleased with. It's hard at work in the basement sump.

Recently finished adding a separate fuge under the reef tank. Water flows into the fuge on the right, and into the skimmer on the far left. The fuge water flows into the return pump section. Added an American DJ power center to organize the clutter (on the upper left).



I really dislike plugs in the DT, and finally got around to setting up a growout tank. I plumbed a 30 breeder to the 125 reef tank. There is a 7 diode PAR38 bulb on it's way from Rapid LED, so I'll start with that and see where it leads me. There's not much in the tank yet, except some sump orphans, so I'll expand the lighting as I need it.



The tank sits on a granite top, and the stand will get a plywood skin. The plumbing runs behind the tank, and to the 125 on the left. Since there is nothing under the stand, I'll gain more storage underneath it.



My next major projects will be a redo of the 190 gallon basement FOWLR sump, and an upgrade for one of my fish tanks to a 180 or 210. Lots of other smaller projects always in the works.

 

More pictures that I like ;D

Some of the corals are eating raw table shrimp.

Great images as always. What corals is in image #2, besides zoanthids? Do you turn off the pumps when you feed? Nice grow out tank in progress there.
