Hi there! I have had saltwater only tanks for about ten years, but finally got the coral tank I wanted. We have another under construction. For right now however, my tank is a forty-five gall. long (48 Inches) and we have two sun corals, a flowerpot, frogspawn, dying goniopora, and many button and clove polyps, along with various mushrooms. We have one powerhead, an over-the-back Remora Aqua C
protein skimmer, and a
Magnum Canister filter we run every once in a blue moon. We have a dragon goby, a lunar wrasse, a fairy wrasse and a Naso Tang. The lighting we have is low, we run a HO 20,000 kelvin white actinic and a blue actinic, however the tank gets direct afternoon sunlight. We have about 40 lbs of live rock (maybe less, but we keep adding pieces with mushrooms or polyps [I'm an addict]) and a good amount of coraline growth but a lot of hair and slime algae. I overfeed probbly, but my fish and corals seem to like it! I use Selcon with every feeding and use DT'S Phytoplankton, one to two timse a week. The tank's been running since Sept. '99. Hope this wasn't too wordy, but I am a lawyer, and you know how long-winded we types are!
