Showing Off My Love
How can you not become totally obsessed with this stuff. WOW :mrgreen:

very nice!

This is one of the coolest tanks I have seen and I think that is because it is filled with Frogspawn and hammer which are my faves! Most of the time when tanks are so FULL they have SPS so this REALLY cool!

Very nice!! Tell us a little about the tank, size,lighting,etc.

It is a 65 gal with built in overflow. Its been running since May of last year but was hit really hard by the storm this last winter. I lost almost all my SPS. There is about 45 lb of live rock in the tank, yeah its a little lite on the rock but i like the open look. I use a 30 gal berlin sump which houses a ASM G-2 skimmer some, a 250 watt Stealth heater (that is almost never on, Thank You halides and pumps), Mag 9.5 recirculating pump and a Mag 5 pump which feeds the chiller and about 25 more pounds of live rock. My pumps are all submersible which puts out a lot of heat. I thinking of removeing the two mag drives and going with an external Aqua Euro or Ilwaki. The chiller is only a 1/10 HP Coralife but it gets the job done. My lighting is a SunPod with 2x250w double ended HQI. I recently replaced the stock bulbs with 2x250w 14k Phoenix bulbs. I reaaly like these bulbs great intensity and good blue color. Higher par than the stock hamiltons the pod came with. I run a Little Fishes Phosban reactor with Rowaphos and a high quality carbon. I like have used Black Diamond in the past with good results but i recently switched to the top grade fluval carbon that come in a little jar like the Rowaphos. I have a small hang-on refugium to reduce nitrates and phosphates and supply my tank with copepods. I recently set up a Remote Deep Sand Bed in a 6 gal oceanic salt bucket. It has about 16 inches of fine sand to allow for the anaerobic breakdown of harmful nitrates to harmless nitrogen gas. This bucket has been running for about 6 weeks now and the results are good. I also started the Vodka Method about 3 weeks ago. My nitrates use to always hover around 15 requiring me to do a 24 gal water change about every 10 days, but in the last 3 weeks the nitrates fall fallen to zero and I have not done a water change in almost 3 weeks. My corals have never looked better. :mrgreen: I now use Red Sea Pro salt. I supplemnet with Brightwells KoralleVM, there Zoo plantkon 50-300um and Replenish. I do these in very small amounts daily. I also add 2 1/2 tsp Seachem powder Calcium and 3 1/2 tsp Seachem powder Alkalinity Buffer. Its cool to see how much things are growing based on the Ca they consume. I do not use Dts or any iodine supplements. I feed my few very small fish ( the female Black and White Ocellaris is the biggest fish in the tank) mostly pellets, but 3 days a week the fish and coral get either frozen Cyclopeeze or Mysis shrimp. If you have any question feel free to ask. I love to share my experience that I have gathered through my pain and suffering. ;)

Sounds and looks like a very nice set up! The RDSB helps a ton with Nitrate reduction. I have one on my 110g cube display @ the store with about 10 fish that get fed 3-5 times a day and the trates are 0!!! Keep up the good work!! Rob
