Pics of My Reef Tank

Amazing set-up you must be proud

That is stuning, hopefully my Marine tank will look that good, TOTM nomination number 4.

Lion ... 3G nano? Good luck keeping that baby stable. You done nanos before? After a few years I may have the gumption to try that!

No calcium reactor. Just drip, drip, drip every few days.

yeaaaaa another saltwater tank for TOTM! Now i wonlt be the only one! take pictures of your fish so we can have a saltwater fish of the month contest. i hate having the only saltwater fish in FOTM some people think it's not fair to the freshwater fish. keep up the good work. i want to start coral soon but i have to give up my puffer and im just not ready for that yet. mabie that gives me a reasion to get another tank one for fish only and one for coral.
can you tell me what all you need to keep coral. like do you need to add things to the water like extra minerals? i want to know as much as i can befor i try it.

this is my saltwater setup

Gina - there's another member here, named ste2K3 who sometimes posts pics of his marine tank and fish. I bet if you do a search you can find some. His tank seriously looks like something from a public aquarium - it's just 'that damn good'.

Edit: Doh! I just looked at the first page of this thread and lo and behold! There's the ste2K3 to whom I was referring.

thank ya

I love your tank ostrow, especialy your Sailfin tang

That is one seriously awsome tank .. If you don't mind me asking how much would that sort of setup cost

I paid a bit over $500 on ebay and the guy helped me move it and set it up! Only my creditors know what I've spend since getting it in June

the marine tanks on this forum seem to get better and better, i really want a reef tank someday. just not now. need more money and time. anyway. TOTM!! And I want to see ste2K3s tank!!!!!!!!!!

I should note that I am letting the corraline algae grow on the back glass on purpose. My hope is that the entire back glass will soon be a solid purple. Methinks that would be cool. If it turns out not so cool, I'll have to sharpen that putty knife!!!

My next step will be to disconnect that Filstar Cannister filter ... I don't really see a need for it. I may hook up a Mag 5 or something in its place, unless I can muster up the pennies for a Tunze Stream experiment. We'll see. With the filter in place I have cold feet about disconnecting it.

It's the f/w in me ... can't see how not to have mechanical filtration. I only removed the carbon like 3 weeks ago! But I am decreasingly seeing any logic to having it hooked up.

Some day I'll post pics of the lighting, sump, etc.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!
