I just got into this hobby about 7 months ago. I have a 55g bowfront corner tank. I have no sump or skimmer! I would like to have both, but I have it on an entertainment center, so no sump, and its a corner tank, so no room for a skimmer. I do have about 5 inches of clearance behind the tank, i may add one soon. I have a pendant (hangs from ceiling) 10,000k 150w metal halide and 2 32w actinic blue lights. I have a koralia 3 and one smaller powerhead. I think i need more flow, I usually battle cyanobacteria.... My filtration basically is only a rena filstar xp2. Right now I'm transitioning from live rock to a big piece of vidarock. So the picture below shows the tank as very crowded because I'm trying to seed the vidarock. I have the following livestock: - Two wild caught clowns w/bubbletip anemone - Yellow tail damsel - Foxface Rabbitfish - Copperband butterfly - Banner cardinal - 4 green cromis - too much xenia corals As soon as I seed my new vidarock, I'll be ready to start adding some coral frags. I'll take some better pictures soon, and in a few months I think it'll look much better!   |

Chris,
Sumps are for the week! Real men go sumpless  Like two and a half years ago, everyone gave me crap about going sumpless with my 125, but hey it's still up and running, and for them most part, it's healthy [:D}------------- Sure you are, you are Crappy Reef Club Member #1 -Chk4tix 6 gal nanocube 65 gal http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=78639&title=tims-65-gallon-build" rel="nofollow - build thread |
