Love it!!

You should drop an LS-1 engine in there.

What a beautiful and CLEAN!!! tank you have Brandon.

rosterv · 06/23/2016, 10:18 AM

Looks good dude. Where are you getting the darker grey rocks ?

RVANANO · 06/23/2016, 11:23 AM

Thanks!!I have gotten all my current rock from various LFS's.

@ Ken. LS7 or bust

Nina51 · 06/23/2016, 11:31 AM

very nice, brandon!!

RVANANO · 07/11/2016, 11:58 AM

Thanks, Nina!

I made a small change to the tank. The MP60's were right about mid way on the back of the tank (top to bottom). I moved them up to about 3/4 way on the back and like it much better. More surface turbulence on the water and less sand being moved around on the bottom.

RVANANO · 07/16/2016, 07:33 PM

Picked up a few fish today. Sailfin tang, pink pseudochromis, leather jacket/file fish to eat some aptasia and a cleaner wrasse. Got a cleaner shrimp too but some of the fish and the shrimp are in hiding.

Jebao DC-12000 went out on me yesterday so upgraded to the Vectra L1. Very quiet and seems to be perfect for the tank.

Have money set aside for the L1 when my 12000 bites the dust as well. Still loving your scape, I am having to slap my hand every now and then when I want to pull a bunch of rock out to steal your look!

RVANANO · 10/21/2016, 10:36 AM

Haha, thanks. Copy all you want

My DC-12000 started getting louder the other day. I took it apart to clean and it wouldn't work again. But I only got it as a temporary pump anyway. Was surprised it lasted as long as did considering how cheap it was.

iced98lx · 10/21/2016, 10:58 AM

wish I had the width with this tank. I love the 6 foot length, but 2 foot front to back just isn't enough for that look imho.

Ritten · 10/23/2016, 03:38 AM

I love everything about your tank, aquascape, fish list, just gorgeous!

RVANANO · 11/20/2016, 12:59 PM

Some updates. Got some more coral and more rock. I also added a Gyre 150. Not sure if I will keep the twin MP60's with it or just get another Gyre 150 to have two vertical on each side of the overflow. Could even keep one MP60 for the middle. I really like the flow with all 3 powerbeads set at lower intensity.

johnike · 11/20/2016, 05:19 PM

Just beautiful, Brandon.

iced98lx · 11/21/2016, 09:12 AM

Tank is looking awesome Brandon! I like the rock, keeping it low for that coral to grow up and into

RVANANO · 01/28/2017, 04:41 PM

Haven't been on in a while.

d2mini · 01/29/2017, 07:31 AM

Looks great, Brandon!
Those SPS are really doing well.
Looks like you got everything dialed in.

johnike · 01/29/2017, 08:06 AM

What Dennis said!

RVANANO · 03/26/2017, 02:15 PM

New maroon that hangs out in the rose bubble tip on the opposite end of the other pair.

Also replaced all the lights. 12,500 Geisemann megachrome 250wDE's, 4-80w Geisemann T5 Super actinic, 2 Geisemann purple and 2 aqua blue.

Andrew D · 03/26/2017, 02:53 PM

Beautiful rockwork!

thaitopher · 03/26/2017, 02:59 PM

I love your alveopora. I just bought one a week ago. Any advice on how to care for it? I feed it twice a week with zooplankton but other than that I am not sure what to do.

Thanks!

I haven't done anything specific. I feed fairly heavily and add oyster/phyto feast every other day or so.

sirreal63 · 03/26/2017, 03:08 PM

Perfect color IMO! I love the rock work and the corals seem to be doing well.

Devaji108 · 03/26/2017, 05:56 PM

nice! I LOVE peninsulas... I want to do this someday but hopefully a bit bigger. (8x36x24 or 10x36x24 ) if I even own my own place. thanks for keeping the dream real my friend!

keep us posted!
