DanW’s 187 SPS Dominated Reef Journal
Hello,
My name is Dan and I am a reefaholic. I thought that I would share my addiction with perhaps the only folks that would really understand. The tank was initially set-up in November 2008. It replaced a 110 gallon that was up for 2 years, which replaced a 46 gallon that was up for 4 years. My plan is use this thread as a sort of reef journal from set-up to ??? Thanks for reading, please feel free to comment as I am always open to suggestions and new ideas. Equipment: 187 gal. Lee-Mar 3 sided Starfire (60”l x 30”w x 24”h), euro-braced, tempered glass bottom 36” Lee-Mar Atlantis series maple stand Vortech 2 x MP40 Tunze 2 x 6045 48” Giesemann Spectra Pendant: 2 x 250SE, 4x48” T5 Bubble King 200 Mini Korallin 1502 calcium reactor Geo kalkwasser reactor 2 x TLF reactors (GFO & carbon) Mag 12 return AC Jr. Advanced Acrylics 3 chambered sump: 36”l x 24”w x 20”h Tunze Osmolator But first some pictures of the old 110 (60”l x 18”w x 24”h) taken October 2008 just before being taken down http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/w...0/IMG_1005.jpg http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/w...0/IMG_1007.jpg |
My first two frags went into the tank on October 26. Luckily there was no water, they were eventually removed. :p

Yes, two tanks running in the living room. Can you hear my wife? “You want to do what?” “You never told me that you wanted to have two tanks!” “How long will till you take one away, you know the holidays are coming.” Can you hear me? "But, but, but…”

Count your blessings. At least your tank is IN the house!

What kind of lights are you going to be using? I don't think your 48" Giesemann fixture is going to cut it.
