Manhattan-reefers: Let's see your tanks!

[jenniebutterfly]

wow jonathan, i lost track of this thread. your clam is beautiful. i added some rock to my 29 gallon, but it is infested with pyramid snails, so no clam for me for a few months to make sure that they are all gone. i still have not gotten my starboard, but my dad has been busy so i have not put all the rock into my tank yet, just the 20 lbs i got yesterday. so should be easy to remove to place the board down. good luck with your clam though

that is a very wacky clam. Look at all those marking.. Is it that purple in real person?

 

[jhale]

no, it's not that purple, it looks a little more brown in person.

thanks, Jennifer. let's see more pic's of your tank.

 

[jenniebutterfly]

hehe which one? i will post some new pics of the 29 but the 36 is a bit torn apart

 

[jhale]

spykes, you have a good collection of fish. I think the skimmer must had help alot. I don't have a skimmer setup yet, so I only have two clown, a goby and a sixline. Your tank have alot more action than mine.
That look like a ASM G3 skimmer.. You sump looks great too. Nice diy work down there.

 

[spykes]

ASM G4 with dual sedra inputs. and one sedra is recirculation

ty ty. the asm cost me 75 bucks cause it was broken^^ of course i fixed it with some glue and acrlic =D

the sump area looks great to, nice collection cup we'll make you a new one

what size tank is that?

 

[spykes]

mine is a 125 long ^^ with just 1 250MH lol i have the equipment for the Mhs just too cheap to power the other two on, not enough live stock lol

 

[nanoreefer22]

Thats crazy spykes. But i still say that tank is nice! hehe

 

[spykes]

thanks kris, these 8 months has taught me skimmers, CA reactors all my acrylic DIY and alot of biology, it has inspired me so much that i became a nursing major because of the bio

Nice Tank!! Good Job!!

The brain(?) is beautiful.

 

[joseney21]

awesome tank!!

 

[NYPDFrogman]

thanks! that is a brain. it has doubled in size since I got it 2.5 years ago. very hardy when I feed the fish ( once a week or so) it extends it's polyps to catch food. next feeding I'll take some pics

look nice NYPDFrogman. haven't seen a barebottom tank for non-sps. I see no powerhead in the tank, did you hide it or you don't need some that much flow for your sofies.

 

[jenniebutterfly]

wow, very nice tank, i can only hope mine looks like that someday

that is if the hobby does not make me broke lol

 

[NYPDFrogman]

there are 2 powerheads a zoo med right next to the overflow box and a hagen behind the rocks real low.
before I moved the tank from Staten Island to my new place here inVernon it was covered with purple coraline alge. some came out when I cleaned the tank for the move.
I cant wait to get the 180 going. I got acrylic today to build the sump/ refugium today.

 

[Justin_NY]

here is mine. the tank only 8 months old

 

[joseney21]

Justin that looks great, give us some specs about your setup.
