Basicly I made aragocrete and poured it into a 15 gallon muck bucket with a 5 gallon salt bucket in the middle serving as the doughnut hole. I poured it about 5 inches thick and let it cure.

For the BTA grow out tank water flows by gravity from the frag tank. Lighting is a 250 watt halide. Every 30 days or so I manually split the BTA's

Hi Brad !
Mu congrats from the Republic of Panama. I have only one question for you: I was under the impression that you can not keep SPS, LPS and Soft corals in the same reef system. Most of the TOM shows the with SPS and LPS but not with softs corals. Yr comments will be appreciated. Regards Fernando Chang Panama

Where can I find more information on your wavebox system? I'm building a new tank, and I love the clean design of yours.

So with a tank this size would you think it be possible to be able to run it well with equipment that can only be put under the tank as there would be no fish room to do so?

Fantastic tank!
I found your comments on the life cycle of sand (approx. 5 years) very interesting. Most folks seem to keep or add more sand to their beds. Never have I seen a recommendation to change the sand on any kind of regular basis. Algae issues have been my only real problem with keeping my tank looking good. I thought the algae breakouts were really due to my husbandry. I think I will include a sand bed change every 4 to 5 years now. Maybe at some point I will also look into your artificial bed. That's an excellent idea. I will also try your feeding recipe. Thanks for sharing your tank and your insight with us. Last edited by agent007; 10/22/2011 at 12:44 PM. |

Hi Mantis,
Congratulations on TOTM! I was wondering if you could tell me what kinds of gorgonians you have, if they are NPS, and if so, if you supplement beyond the food you've listed as making. Thanks! |
