Chris's 90 gallon Update

hey guys havt posted a new pic for a while this tank has been running about 10 weeks now sorry about the poor fotos i took them on my I Phone [/ATTACH][/ATTACH] what do you all think ill put more photos up tommorow

 

Looks good! Do you scrape your back glass too?

 

i just do the front

 

I see happy fish! What kind of lighting are you using?

 

Sweet aquascaping!

 

very nice tank. looks reral good. is that a blueberry gorgorian?

 

the lighting is 2x 250w MH and 4 t5's.. as for it being a gorgonian im guessi it mioght be from pictures that ive see n im not really sure but it came with the Live rock when i bought it so score also i think i scored a little leather on another peice.. any one else got n e thoughts on what it might be also n e suggestions for corals or fish to add this is the list so far .. 1 blue tang 1 yellow tang 1 spine cheeck clown 1 bengi cardinel 2 gold headed sleepers 1 flame angel 1 cleaner wrasse( who is living for ever might i add they never last long all though i am noob) also ill try and find the exact wattage of the t5's

 

the gorgorian might be tough to keep. i had one, and learned afterwards they basically dont survive. especially in the hands of a beginner. they arent photosynthetic so light isnt a big problem. mid flow area, and you will prob have to do a bit of target feeding to be on the safe side. and if i have given any wrong info regarding this, i hope a more seasoned aquarist corrects me so i know better myself. but if i done godd, well cheerio. lol

 

I had a finger gorgonian, not real sure if that is the correct name, but it grew atleast 2" in about 5 months. I ran pc's and a tidepool II sump w/chaeto. I believe if the nitrates are high, it won't be happy and grow. It's like nitrates stunts the growth. Med-high flow, med light, (2x's per yr)occassional feedings of some kind of coral food. I fed my fish 1x per week with pellets and flakes.

btw...very pretty tank too!

 

Very nice chris!
