My 28 DeepBlue Build, First LED Experience.
For a long time now I've believed that halides are the best way to grow sps. Due to a move and a new tank, and with the release of the Radion G3 I've decided to give them a go. My inspiration for this tank is Taphil's nanocube Over the past few months I have been gathering equipment and putting it all together and finally its wet! I decided to try my hand at carpentry and built my own stand.Im not so happy with how the door came out so that will change. Also it gets extremely humid under the tank to the point where its dripping down the sides! I will vent it with a fan maybe?
My next problem is my overflow. Ive never had a small drilled one before, it works well but its loud. I used a T with a female adapter and capped it, drilled a hole in the top like a durso. Its really gurgly. Not sure how I'm going to get around it. I put it together with the mindset of SPS only. Only planning on 6 or 7 types...We'll see where that goes... Anyways here it is all filled up. She's been cycling for a week now. I had a custom adjustable mount made for the radion. Any advise on the noisy overflow would be greatly appreciated. Equipment list: - 28g DeepBlue Rimless (20x20x16) - Eshopps sump - 100w Titanium Heater - Mag 7 Return - Bubble Magus Nac 3 - Next Reef MR1 shorties x 2 - Tunze nano ozmolator - Bubble Magus Triple doser with Vertex Dosing Containers - Vortech MP10 - Sea-Swirl - Radion G3 The Plan is to keep it easy and uncluttered. Only wanting to add a half a dozen or so species. I want them to have space to grow. On my list is: - Red Planet - Orchid Stylo - Hawkins - Forest Fire Digi - Green Slimer - Pink Lemonade - Pearlberry

Looking really nice! Is your filtration only GAC and GFO? What brand salt are you using? Thanks.

Oh man I want a borbonius so bad but didn't think I could with a tank only 21" deep. They get quite big as well and are actually a type of grouper and not an Anthias from my reading. Had a small guy at the recent swap for $150 and was so going to pull the trigger but didn't. Nice tank btw.

Comment on the gurgling sound. ..I also have an sps dominant nano that is drilled, these things are sort of stupid. I run a half bean animal setup, I put a valve on the one drain. ..this is not recommended by anyone who isn't crafty, but my tank is dead silent.
These drilled tanks need three holes, Edrain would be nice.

All anthias are in the grouper family serranidae. Anthiinae, of which anthias belong to, is a subfamily of serranidae.

The grouper GENUS is actually cephalopholis, which is contained in the family sarranidae along with stonefish, gurnards, lionfish, waspfish, . So to be correct, anthias are not in the grouper (cephalopholis) family. They are in the serranidae, which is a hugely diverse family of fishes...

Great shots. And pretty much excellent colour on the SPS too.
