T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank)

Update, Update, Update

Rate this Entry
Its been a few months since I've last updated. Here are a few photos of the tank from last night.

Nothing really happening with the tank right now, just letting it hang out and do its thing. I've recently just completed a mini energy/utility use audit in an effort to reduce my overhead/operating costs on my system. I can successfully say that I was able to lower my utility bills considerably by swapping out a 250w MH for a Kessil light and a number of smaller minor equipment tweaks.

The tank is currently home to;
6 yellow tangs
2 purple tangs
1 vlamingi tang
1 one spot foxface
1 psychadellic mandarin (seen once and awhile)
2 6 line wrasses (rarely seen)
A handful of SPS frags
A few LPS frags
Hitchiker maxi mini anemones
Clams

I'm currently working on collecting the capital to finish swapping from MHs to LEDs (Kessils supplemented with SOLs) and saving up to replace my RKE controller with an Apex and to buy my annual truckload of salt, additives and other various drygoods.

I'm struggling with cyano currently, but its limited to the sand only; potentially making a full sandbed replacement a to do for 2014.
