[JaminRat]

Looks good.

I'm just in the process of setting up a 15 usg tank and wondered what hardware your running.

 

[pipatic]

8-9kg of liverock (mixed source)
3 x 14w T5 luminaire 2 months old with white tubes
Weipro skimmer, uprated with large (1800lph) powerhead for more throughput and better skimming
2 week old Hydor ITPF4 internal filter (700lph) with built in heater
Magiflow internal filter running spraybar (400lph)
5 gal w/c per week or 2nd week

Not a bad looking tank, although I think it will look even better when its got a bit more corals in there.

Got any fish in the tank or is it just corals? I dont see a protein skimmer so i take it you are going down the water-change route.

Any other specs you'd like to share with us?

Im not bothered to see the skimmer itself, I just couldnt see one pictured. What kind of maintanence are you doing to the tank, and are you using RO or tap water? Do you have problems having that level of sand in the tank. From my fairly limited experience I have found that it is best to either have less than half an inch of sand, or more than 2" of sand, anywhere in between will cause problems. Have you had much critter build up in your sand and do you get algae problems?

ok there ugly things, best in a sump imho

waterchange per week to 2 wks
i never use tap water only r.0

Do you have problems having that level of sand in the tank. From my fairly limited experience I have found that it is best to either have less than half an inch of sand, or more than 2" of sand, anywhere in between will cause problems

the sand bed is 3/4 in to 1inch it may look more as its slightly pushed to the front,

Have you had much critter build up in your sand and do you get algae problems?

yup loads of critters in the sand
i think the key to not having problems with sand depth is the critters,,

there was lodas of diff alagie cheatomorph,calpea ,etc grown in this tank before as it was getting setup for sea horses

 

[pipatic]
