Dwalker Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hi here are some pics of my setup, i have a 4ft display with a 3ft sump underneath and a 2ft cube display tank with another 2ft sump under that, its all joined and running as one system but can be two individualsystems at the turn of a valve. I have a total of around about 600litres . I have : 4ft display- A sailfin tang A flame hawkfish A blue hippo tang One spot foxface 5x green chromis 2x ocellaris clownfish A royal dottyback A bi colour blennie Lamark angelfish Yellow wrasse Leopard wrasse Golden basslet INVERTS 2 sea cucumbers condy anenome A red sea star A purple sea star A tuxedo urchin Pearl shells/clam shells 3x trochus snails 10+ assorted hermits and snails CORALS 9 assorted torch corals Purple finger corl Green leather coral Green pocillopora Blue acro Green acro 4x hammers Jardini Goniopora Zooanthids Trachyphillia Plate coral, long tentacle Plate coral short Ricordea Red mushroom Blue mushroom Green finger coral Blue maze Clove polyps Sun coral Green moon colony Red blastomussa Blue blastomussa 2ft display- A bi colour blennie 3x padang frillgobys 2x black cheek three fin 1x stripey fish INVERTS Black n white urchin Red sea star 2 sea cucumbers Hermits Snails CORALS green montipora Purple montipora Green acro Lobophyllia Green leather coral Green stem purple tip divisa Goniopora Assorted acans Green mushrooms Purple plate coral, short tentacle Zooanthids Green pocillopora I will upload some pics as soon as i can, i am new to the whole forum thing so i will have to learn slowly but am sure i will get there Thought i might add that i have dual skimmers and macro algae on a 24/7 light schedule, aswell as running phos remover and purigen also npx bioplastics all in fluidized media filters, i have ozone running with an ORP METER and also running a 55w UV Steriliser. I let the tank slip 6 months ago when i moved house and have been battling green hair algae and byropsis ever since :/. But i can see it is starting to die off and or get eaten. I also had a bleaching issue wheni changed my lighting system over to sunrise/sunset led lights instead of t5 VHO i halved my power consumption and also increased the intensity. I hope you enjoyed the photos and would like any feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwalker Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 How high are you running your magnesium mate?Tanks looking great by the way. I like the way you work! Thanks mate. Been alot of work, as my 4ft tank was a freshwater tank which i drilled and plumbed myself into a marine tank. There has been alot of trial and error, i guess what paid off was waiting 3months for the tanks to cycle properly and stabilise. I don't monitor my magnesium levels with a test kit, i dose seachem reef complete once a week which has strontium and magnesium to replenish depleted levels, but i try keep it as natural as i can and do WEEKLY water changes whether it be 10% or 20%. My next shopping item is a mag test kit as its always good to have one. And then a real good skimmer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
