The bubble tip started out in my 46 gallon...but the clown fish in there was beating the hell out of it...and it about died because it was so small...so I got them a bigger one... and put the bubbletip in the 65...since my clowns already had an anemone...they leave it alone..and he's been happy ever since...I've thought about moving him back into the 46 gallon though..as it is pretty empty... not sure if I will...

Would have to get to him..he is attached to some LR where I can't reach him atm.

I'm planning on using a 3 inch bed of Southdown seeded with live sand and about 90lbs of Indo or Fiji live rock.

Thanks!

I used Caribsea Aragonite sand. I bought sand that was supposed to be "Southdown" but it didn't even look close to it so I took it out and bought the expensive stuff.

I'm about to go and pick a 65 gal in the next hour...I'll post some pix once I get home!!

JonK · #**161** 08/13/2006, 11:43 AM

I want to go halide but I have that stupid center brace in the middle of the tank. I figured 1 250 watt might be enough. Have any of you removed the brace on your tank?

Otherwise I'll probably go with 2 150 watts on either side.

RobNJ · #**162** 08/13/2006, 12:22 PM

i would go with 2 x 250 65 high is a tall tank

JonK · #**163** 08/13/2006, 12:35 PM

I was just doing some research on removing the brace and it doesn't look like something I would want to try. Especially since the tank is filled.

I think your right...2 x 250 would be my best option. Thanks.

Jon

RobNJ · #**164** 08/13/2006, 12:38 PM

i have a 40 high , with 2x150 , its the same width is and height. I wish I went 2x250. I have my brace and its really no big deal, i run my tank topless also.

I took a picture of my tank. The diatoms that had almost completely covered the sandbed are gone but now I'm getting some algae on the top of the rocks. I don't have any snails in the tank yet to help control it. I have a few corals in the tank. The macro algae is in there to help control the nuisance algae. It will eventually be removed.

josh holt · #**166** 08/13/2006, 05:30 PM

my 58gal has 4 96watt pc lights but i'm only running two. i built a refugium/sump out of a 29gal and i just added a coralife65 protien skimmer yesterday. for circulation i have a via aqua 3300 return pump and a seio 820 powerhead.

clownfishman · #**167** 08/14/2006, 11:10 AM

Thanks for the info Josh and good start JonK

Any other 65gals out there? Any updates from people who have already posted their 65s?

whirley · #**169** 08/18/2006, 12:02 PM

Here's mine!

Tank is ~ 5 months old. It has a Sail fin tang, 2 percs, and a Coral Beauty. Misc corals in the tank.

I wanted the tank to be viewable on 3 sides. The longer sections of the tank is viewable from the wall, and behind the wall.

--- I didn't clean the glass before I took the pictures.

i really need to buy batteries as its been a good 6 months since my pics where new. I shall do that some time this week.

masterqaz · #**171** 08/21/2006, 07:00 PM

Alright i think where going to have to change this up to keep this thread going... So now what i want to see is macros or close ups of fish, corals, etc. as a lot of the posts where full tank shots. You can show anything that is with in the system, even hitch hikers you may have found in the tank.

I'd also like to see the refugiums you guys got going on these tanks, Who's got the biggest fuge?

COMMON PPL YOUVE GOT THE CHANCE TO BRAG ABOUT YOUR TANKS HEAR.

josh holt · #**172** 08/21/2006, 11:22 PM

here are some pics from my 58gal.

josh holt · #**173** 08/22/2006, 08:54 PM

just a couple more pics

masterqaz · #**174** 08/22/2006, 11:59 PM

Nice green zoas, I picked up a couple nice zoo rocks today. Green on green, reds skirt (pinky? center cant really remember), yellow/orange center green skirts. I'll take some picks tomorrow or when they open which could be in some time as they were in the bags for 6 hours and then i did a 20 min double dose dip. I also picked up a very nice red lobo, Also picks tomorrow or so.
