    Hi all,

    My reef has been running for a month now, here's some pics.

    120 aga with dual overflows, dursos, oceanic 3 sump, vertex 180 skimmer,quiet 1 4000 return, dual heaters, 2 vortech mp4s for added flow in tank, lighting is Coralife aqualight pro 2X250 mh with pc actinics,

    livestock 140 lbs of premium indo live rock
    mixed sps and lps and mushrooms and zoos,
    pair of coral banded shrimps ( bought them from another reefer as a pair, otherwise would never have put 2 cbs together)
    foxface, flame angel, naso tang, royal gramma, clown goby, pair of perculas, 2 sand sifting gobies, about 100 snails, blue tuxedo urchin,

    Some people might say that I set everything up too fast, but I bought the rock from another reefer who actually went to Indonesia and hand picked his pieces and had them shipped back to Vancouver. I moved the rock and some of his tank water, placed them into my tank, and let it cycle for about a week. All water parameters were fine, before I added corals. I added fish about 3 weeks later.

    Also a pic of my lionfish tank

    how did you fix the pics?

    Thanks devlzluz,
    How did you do that?

    Tanks are all set up, not planning to add anything else for a while. Now just wait and let everything grow. Just like planting new grass seeds. If all gos well, just water and mow.

    my tank

    thanks, with my last reef, I just piled the rocks up against the back glass. This time, my rocks are basically shaped like 2 coral heads with the big flat rock joining them. There isn't much rock on the back of the tank.
