Tank Entry

By now I suppose we’ll call this aquascape v2.6?
I decided to swap out the top rock on the left with a large, much flatter rock. I was concerned with coral placements; they really wouldn’t have any place to go with only being 2”-3” from the top… This gives every one a little more room. The rock was drilled and threaded onto the PVC pin thats part of the cave base rock below.

As of 8/15

I did say the build was going to be a slow burn. But, I am on my final month of 0% interest on my credit card that got me though all the home renovations and new appliances… So why not splurge just a little?

I’ve set every thing up on this tank with all the nice things the last tank never had… a sump... huge skimmer… LED… semi-automatic water changing… and now finally, the ultimate reef junky toy… a calcium reactor…

I decided to go with a GEO 612 Calcium Reactor ...

Last week when I received my order containing the pair of Flame Angels from Live Aquaria’s Divers Den I also ordered two new corals. (To round out my order for free shipping of course). It was a simple Scrolling Montipora Indonesia (Red), Bushy Acropora Coral Fiji (Blue-Green).
