Hello all, after much shyness I thought I should post pics of my tank, and give you a little more info, so here goes!!
I bought the tank second hand from a member on masa... quite happy with the tank overrall , but I know it has a long long wat to go before it reaches it prime!!
I know the sump is a little small, so I am in the process of adding another one to the existing one to increase the overrall size of the DSB in the adjacent cupboard!
The tanks dimensions are:
DISPLAY
SUMP
Have added a ts2 protein skimmer, rated up to 750l, which is on the wrong side (but it will be moved to the new sump.
Added some chaeto that Lanzo was so gracius to give me yesterday, floating on top of the DSB (not in the current photo)
Yes yes, there are the taboo ceramic rings and bio-balls, yes, they are coming out one handful at a time (on a weekly basis)...Just worried about all the life in there!!
Lighting is provided by two T5 units with 3 globes each!!
There are:
There are one or two concerns I have, if you notice in the, back glass has some, what I think is hair algae (which was present in the tank before), and I personally would prefer it would die!!!!
Being doing regular 10% water changes and want to get a phosphate reactor, but in the mean time is there any thing else i can do?
oh, oh, oh. on the a final note, the only reason the livestock is in there is because the tank is fully cycled and the fish were moved with the original saltwater they stayed in their previous home!!
I would like some suggestions as to optimal globe settings/ a good mixture of globes to eventually keep lps, softoes and maybe one VERY hardy sps (and no, I dont want metal halides, my mother said she would die first...lol, the whole industrial look doesnt exactly go with her "look")
ok that it for now, may i present my baby to the floor...Thank you MASA! U guys are really helpful, even after answering a question for the 70th time, you still take your time and give it your all...Ta!

There are:
- 1 X 15 000K Geisemann Aquablue
- 2 X 12 000K White
- 1 X Actinic
- And I think there are two normal 10 000K T5's in the other remainder of the unit (as the globes came with the tank)
