how about a "what was" submission

This is a "what was" about 7 months ago. I just moved everything too 4 smaler tanks.

Size: 180g
Lighting: 4 x Mogul 250w 20k Helios on SS Blue Wave VII HQI in Mini Luminarcs
ALK: 7-8
CA:380-420
Reactor: MRC-2 Calcium Reactor
Sal : 1.025
Feeding: Zeovit Spirulina Flakes, Mysis, Brine, Arctic Pods and Spectrum Pellets 1-2x day
Age: It was up and running for 2 years. Tore it down and moved it home. Everything is divided into 4 100 frag tanks now so no more display tank for now

Thanks. Like many others here, if you put your soul, pocket book and time into it things they usually bare some fruit. But then again, nothing is guaranteed. It was pretty difficult to keep it looking good all the time though. Things are not looking like they did then and I am am in that valley right now

BTW, sorry to hear about your tank, let me know when you are ready to restock and I can put together a little care package for ya

Thanks ejocam and fijiblue

Here is a bad picture of my tank a couple of months ago. I've lost about 2/3 of the SPS colonies due to a mishap with an AEFW treatment:


Size: 120
Lighting: 2 250 SE 10K Ushios in SLS ROII reflectors, 3 x 110 watt UVL atinics
Alk: ~8
Ca: 375 - 425
No reactor... Randy's homeade 2 part dosed with a LM III
SG: ~1.025
Feeding: mysis and enriched brine twice a day with half a sheet of nori every 2 or 3 days
Age: 1 year in 120, corals, rock and most fish taken from a 90 I had setup for ~ 2 years which was moved into from a 75 I had setup for about 2 years before that.

thanks, Chris

Really? As in 5.4dkh? I thought anything below 6.5/7.0 was harmful?
