So I figured its about time for a tank thread. This tank is my fourth venture. I went with the 80 bc I liked the dimensions. I had a 40 breeder forever and this seemed to me like a jumbo sized 40b. Been running for about 9 months now. Here are the specs-
Tank- Deep Blue 80 frag tank
Stand- Deep Blue stand w home built riser (about one foot)
Sump- 29 gallon tank DIY three chamber (no fuge, which is dopey, I should have put in a fuge)
Lighting- tek 8 bulb t5. Currently w 5 blue plus, one purple plus, one actinic and one 6500k ge white
Skimmer- Nac 7
Return pump- mag 9.5
Reactor- brs dual media w carbon and gfo piped into main line
Calcium reactor- mtc mini
Flow- two mp10, two koralia 2's along the rear or tank
Fish- right now just a melanarus wrasse, pair of clowns and a Midas Benny. Been looking for the right pack of antheas to add, maybe lyretail or sunburst.
Corals- a mixed reef. Recently thinned out the sps (calcium reactor mishap), but I actually like it without 100 tiny twigs on plugs all over the place. Gave me some room for the larger pieces growing out. I'm crazy for zoas but have slowly been adding more and more lps, euphyllia, acans and chalices. Really looking for an elegance for this tank to replace the overrun gsp rock on the right side. Would also like to add a couple more clams.
Here are some pics guys. Thanks to all who have helped build this tank inside and out.
