Tank Entry

Here is the latest on the tank in the last couple of months. I have done 2 major updates:

This first update was that I bought a MARS unit which allowed me to eliminate the back section breeding setup (which I will later used for larval rearing and other stuff). I spent parts of this weekend plumbing the remaining breeding set up into the sump that was part of the MARS unit. I purchased a Super Reef Octopus 5000 External Skimmer that should be here this week to complete the breeding ...

I took a couple of short video's today of the display tanks and some broodstock that I got for the breeding system a couple of days ago.

New Spotcinctus Clown Pair

After posted about this back in August, I have finally had a chance to update the progress on my system. Unfortunately, I didn't get take many build pictures since I was too busy building. I am happy to have both the breeding set up and display tanks back up and running. Below are some pictures and some descriptions of the both of the systems.

Now that my 245G has completed its cycle. It is time to add some fish. One of my goals was to keep more difficult fish. Here are the fish additions that I have made over the last few weeks.

Falcula Butterfly (Chaetodon Falcula).

Found this at one of my the stores I go to regularly. He had been there for a couple of months and has been eating mysis.

The last time that I updated Reef Addict on the breeding there were just shelves with no tanks/sump or fish. A little over three months later it is now operational with tanks, a complete sump, and all the fish moved from the prior system. Here is how it all took place.
