under construction.
My current reef was setup in May 2009. The tank is a 120-gallon (4x2x2-foot) Rimless built by Glasscages. It is 3/4-inch glass and black silicone tank.
My goal was to design the rockwork as an underwater racetrack for my achilles to swim around and have fun. I used Loctite marine epoxy to glue the rocks together. I spent about a week putting it together the rockwork with blue painters tape on the wall to figure out how it would fit in the tank.
The magnetic rocks on the sides of the tank are from The Alternative Reef, they made a WORLD of a difference in my tank since it allowed me to place my corals at different heights in the tank and also take advantage of that extra dimension in the tank.
I also used The Alternative Reef’s “Biguns” for my chalice grow outs and their “Doughnuts” to keep my chalices in place.
I have an ATB 840v2 keeping my bioload in check, It runs silent which is essential when your reef tank is in your family room with television.
I run Bulk Reef Supply phosphate remover that I change monthly in a reactor. I dose Bulk Reef Supply two part solution thru my Reefkeeper to keep things under control. I have safety features programmed into the Reefkeeper such as a float switch to shut down the skimmer if the water level in the sump raises too high. Another alarm I placed is to shut down the heater if the tank goes above 80-degrees. I have now switched to Apex so I can control my Vortech pumps and do advanced dimming control with my LEDs.
I was fortunate to get Tank of the Month from Captive Reefs!
