My New 36 Gallon Bowfront

anthamm93 · 06/28/2011, 01:01 AM

Well it's been awhile since i've been on here but my 60 gallon has been taken down and the 3 damsel fish I had in their moved to a 10 gallon. But now on to the title tank I recently purchased a 36 gallon bowfront off craigslist with a deluxe light hood for $60. I'm not using that hood though. I'm using the Corallife 150W MH Pendant I already had. The other equipment I have is a Whisper Tetra 30-60 gallon HOB Filter and a CPR Bac Pak 2 Protein Skimmer, 1 Hydor Evolution 750 circulation pump, and I think a 165 gph powerhead in the back, a 200 watt heater and a 50 watt also, and I believe that is it. My goal for this tank is to be a mixed reef but with only a few SPS if any. Not sure on livestock plans as of yet because I just set it up about 4 days ago. By the way i have about 15 pounds of liverock mixed in with about 30 pounds of dead live rock from my 60. If there's anything else you think I may need to do to have this setup please tell me and it would be much appreciated if you did. Now time to try to upload these pics.

Bump. While my Tank is done cycling so I added some livestock 2 green chromis 5 hermit crabs, 5 big snails, a bunch of little snail's and some frags 2 mushrooms with some pulsing Xenia, Green star polyps, 2 head trumpet coral, a little short tentacle plate about the size of a quarter, some green and orange zoas, and finally some blue zoos maybe palys not really sure. I don't have any pictures right now because I'm not home but when I get home I will take some so you can see and tell me what you think.

Can a mod move this to the Nano tank forum because I believe that would be a better place for it.

I think you are on your way to creating a great little tank. Good luck to you!

Thank you I hope so too. I changed the rock work around earlier so I'll post some pics up tomorrow of it and the new additions.

Looks good post some pics of your livestock when you can.

Alright will do but I won't be home for a little while.

Well I got some more frags today and a couple inverts. The frags I got are some type of acro sps and a reddish color mushroom. The inverts I got were a feather duster and pink tip Haitian anemone. Well I'm gonna take some pics of my tank and upload them in a little bit but not everything's open right now because I was trying to find a good placement for the corals.
