29 gallon drop off
Hello you all.
I've been lurking on this forum for some time, and thought that it would be good to show you my little tank. So this is my little nano drop off tank https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3777/1...4e0b986d_b.jpgDSC_4111 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr It's been running for 7-8 months by now, and as I started it, I transferred the stocking form my previous 14 gallon tank. So far I've been mostly into LPS and softies, but have recently begun moving towards a SPS dominated tank. I will probably be keeping most of the LPS though. This does mean however that I have sold off some of the bigger soft corals, including the big weeping willow sarcophyton that I had as a center piece. Very nice coral, but also pretty big for such a small tank. Here's a quick overview of the tank and the life in it :) Stuff 120-liter tank (75x40x40 cm) with a glass shelf glued in giving a total of 108 liters Internal overflow 60 liter sump Antique stand and DIY canopy and tank sides MarsAqua 165 watt full spectrum LED Jebao RW8 and WP10 with twin controller Jebao 2000 liter return Bubble Magus Cone 3.5 skimmer Jebao DP-4 doser (dosing Triton Base Elementz) DIY phosphate filter (with phosban) 100watt Jaeger heater DIY ATO DIY Upflow Algae Scrubber Life Fish Amphiprion Ocellaris pair Ecsenius bicolor Centropyge Argi Pseudocheilinus hexataenia Inverts Tripneustes gratilla Mithraculus sculptus x2 Assorted snails Softies Sarcophyton (Long teal tentacles) Grean grass GSP Misc zoa Misc ricordea (florida og yuma) Misc discosoma Cream gorgonian LPS Caulastrea Blastomousa Duncan Misc euphyllia Lobophyllia SPS True snowflake undata Mint acropora desalwii Acropora cerealis Red Monti digitata Purple Monti cap Bali slimer Seriatopora sp. Stylophora sp. As can be seen, I have been struggling with some cyano which have taken hold where I previously had a horrible outbreak of red turf algae. I think that I have finally been able to get it under control. I seem to have sort of okay growth on most SPS, so my next goal is to get much better colour on those. This is the real goal for most SPS keepers, so probably wont be able to rest for some time ;) I think that's about is. I'll post some more pictures from the tank later :wavehand: |
Very nice and a big WELCOME.

Thanks Barry :)

Awesome tank! post more pics if you can! I would love to see your setup, filtration and just how the tank looks.
very cool tank once again! |
Gorgeous tank!
|
very cool!
|
Thank you very much for your kind comments :-)
Unfortunately I will be taking the tank down in two weeks, only to put it back up in a new apartment. Hopefully I wont loose any llivestock. But I do fear for a bit of new cycling. I'll try to take some photos of the tank before then, and show a bit of the technical side as well :-) |
A few new shots :)
FTS - The tank is suffering because of summer, so the glass could do with a proper cleaning and I'm starting to see a bit more red turf and cyano. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/264/2...1d1fdd00_o.jpgDSC_4446 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr Euphylliae https://farm1.staticflickr.com/547/1...6993336a_o.jpgDSC_4450 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr Acropora cerealis frag https://farm1.staticflickr.com/546/2...ca60595b_o.jpgDSC_4422 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr The sump https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3670/...51d88825_o.jpgDSC_4456 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr |

Sweet build, a montipora capricornis would look sweet coming off the ledge.

Newest FTS
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/753/2...64b01aac_o.jpgDSC_5030 by jonas_sandager, on Flickr Far from everything is perfect, and I have got some harsh algae on the glass. But all in all everything keeps going in the direction that I would like it to :) Also I got into the Triton system, which is working out great. Now I just need stability. |
Very out of the norm. I like it. Following.
|
What are you dosing this tank? Everything looks amazing.
|
Very unique tank design, what type of stand do you have it on?
Great looking to by the way! I would second the montipora encrusting off the ledge would look super awesome. |
