fizzy tank

[fizzy]

right here is my tank, its a 24"sq tank, sump below with my own skimmer, fluval 103 packed with carbon, my own phos reactor and thats it, the lights are 1 actinc and 1 150w halide and a container with calcium which drips into the sump, so a basic set up which i prefer and it works as you can see, this has been going for a yr now.

stock:
2 clowns
1 humbug
1 false grammer
2 arrow gobies
1 small salfin

the toad stool has now been moved down a bit now as he was starting to spread out a bit, there are 2 bubble corals 1 white and 1 green and they are doing realy great. hope you like.

Welcome to reefcorals Fizzy, Your tank looks great. How long has it been up and running?:)

Looking very good, what sort of turn over you doing (not including the sump return)

the tank has been going for a year, i had to re do the tank due to a lot of algie and over feeding, so now i have been very slow in stocking it up, only feeding once a week (this way the fish will eat everything and not leave much waste), i have been keeping marines for 20yrs of and on now but i do like to keep things simple, i am going to set up a nano very soon which will be about a 18"sq with a built in filter on the back all made from acrylic and in that ill keep mainly xenia, mushy and small gobies.

yeah love the tank, and fair play for being able to get that amount of rock in there and still make the water move around properly, a lovely nano for sure

[fizzy]

thank you, glad you like it, i wanted to have enough rock in there and still have plenty of room for the fish to swim around and it has worked out just right plus the arrow gobies have made plenty of little holes to pop out of.
