1.) Thanks it is a shallow tank 48 x 24 x 13, eventually once money and everything is in order I'm going to do a 72 x 36 x 21 tank.
2.) Thanks the rock is from reefrocks.net and I love it!
I originally had a 75g tank and that started leaking at the seam last monday so I had to go out and buy a new tank. I picked up the deep blue frag tank from ocean gallery. They make it in a 48 x 24 x 18, but they did not have it in stock :/.
The powder blue is from reef fixations and is a healthy SOB! He is eating like a pig mysis, brine shrimp, rod's food (seaweed), pellets etc.
Currently I have:
1. Powder blue
2. 2 x Orange shoulder back fairy wrasse
3. a pistol/yasha goby (no idea where).
In the coming month or two I'll add 2 clowns and then maybe a few anthias eventually, but otehrwise given the size of the powder blue he will be my show fish. I know the tang police will say a 48 x 24 tank is not a good size for him, but he is small and I do plan on upgrading in a year or so. He is healthy and does not display any agression towards his tank mates nor do I have a lot of rock. He is able to swim throughout the tank and seems happy enough since he likes to do figure 8s around the rocks.
I just got done setting up my
apex lite and I must say it was VERY easy, I don't know if my background in java from HS helped or if my experience with the RKL helped, but it was EASY!
The only thing left to do as far as equipment to this tank is I want to get some float valves and let my apex control top off. I have a JBJ ATO, but would feel more comfortable using the apex.
I might try to incorporate it so that my apex uses the JBJ and then only turns the outlet on for like 5 minutes every 2 hours. idk I'll see.
I would like to add dosing pumps eventually once I get some more corals in the display, but otherwise this tank will stay how it is for at least a year.
I'm just glad to be DONE with all the equipment and can enjoy it.
I'm mixing up 30g of water for a water change tmrw and then from there that is all I plan on really doing to the tanks.
Well I'll post more pictures soon, I have a cannon point and shoot (nothing fancy), but I hope to learn to take good pictures with it. My buddy Anthony (thirty5) takes ridiculous pictures, I'm hoping to bribe him one day to come over and take some for me.
Anyway any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks for your kind words and looking!
