Pics of my 180g. ecosystem reef

[Sue Truett]

Kris was great enough to host some pics of my 180g. ecosystem reef. It is almost{October 6th} 10 months old. It is run with 3 250w 65k iwasaki's and 2 160w vho actinics. Calcium is delivered via a kalk. drip 24/7. There are 8 blue reef chromis, a maroon clown, sailfin tank, kole tank, copperband butterfly, potter's angel, spotted mandarin goby. Hope you like..

Both tanks are Beautiful!! Your 180 and my 90 were started about the same time and your years of experience and skill show. I only hope that one day my tank will be as impressive as yours

Sue,

I find it very hard to believe you can supply enough calcium with just a kalkwasser drip. Don't you have a calcium reactor as well?

Is that saltwater?

Yeah, i have trouble believing that those guys can grow like hell w/ just a kalkwasser drip too, how do you do it???

Hi Sue,
Could you save a frag of the A. abrolhensis for me?
The tank actually looks much better than the photos.

Thanks ya'll, I appreciate the kind words.

Greg I do not have a calcium reactor on this tank. I do drip kalk., but maybe once every 7-10 days I have to add a bit of turbo calcium, like 4 tsp. The growth in this tank is so fast I'm actually afraid to put a reactor on it. Honest.. The cal. is 450ppm., and the alk. is maintained with Kent's Probuffer powder at 10-11dKh. All else is maintained by the ecosystem filter.

Wow!!!!!!

Sue...I just setup a new tank a month or so ago, after selling off my system and starting from scratch.

Can I get some frags...please...please...pretty please!

Cheers

James and twinspot you are more than welcome to get what you want. Dave I'll see ya at the meeting tomorrow.
Nostrathomas{love the nick}, yes I am wanting to set up a second page on the existing website, but wanted to post some pics of this tank. Let me see if I can think of some of the stuff you might be interested in. I had the tank drilled for me by the lfs{Aquatic Designs} that ordered it for me. It is a center overflow with dual returns via a Velosity T-4 return pump. I have 3 Rio 2100 hidden behind the LR and 3 Maxi-jet 1200's for flow via a Natural Wavemaker strip. A CSL 1/3 hp. chiller, 3 250w 65k iwasaki's and 2 160w vho actinics. If there is anything else you'd like info on please let me know. Thanks all for the very encouraging words. ;> )
