Set Up Date: November, 1999
Tank Size (LxHxW | Volume): 36x22x18in./58 gallons
Sump Size (LxHxW | Volume): 12 gallons
Live Rock (Mass): 80-100 lbs.
Live Sand (Mass): 10 lbs. (added to crushed coral in March 2000)
Lighting (Type | Wattage | Photoperiod): CSL PC 4*96watt (2 7100 blue, 2 6700 white) plus NO 30 watt Actinic
Protein Skimmer (Brand | Model): CPR SR4
Biological Filtration (Type): CPR Cyclone CY194
Chemical Filtration (Type): A little charcoal
Circulation (Rate | Brand | Model): Approx. 1000 gallons hour between RIO 2500 return, AquaClear 4000 and Maxijet 600
Return Pump (Rate | Brand | Model): RIO 2500 @ approx 400 GPH at 4 feet.
pH (Morning | Evening): 8.2 to 8.5
Temperature (Range | oC | oF): 80F to 83F
Specific Gravity / Salintity (g/g | ppt): 1.024-1.025
Alkalinity (meq/l | dKH): 3.5meq/l/10dKH
Calcium (ppm): 375ppm
Ammonia (ppm): 0ppm
Nitrite (ppm): 0ppm
Nitrate (ppm): <<10ppm
Phosphate (ppm): ?
Fish: 2 clowns, 6-line wrasse, royal gramma, purple firefish
Corals: Frogspawn, Hammer, Cup, Torch, Green Open Brain, Green Star Polyps, Button Polyps, Mushrooms, Cabbage Leather
Invertebrates: Turbo, Astrea snails, Red Leg and Blue Leg Hermits, Sally Lightfoot Crab, Cleaner Shrimp
Maintenance Program: 10% water change every 1-2 weeks, ESV Bionic daily, Kent Strontium once or twice a week, Kent Iodine daily
Additional Information: The CSL PC 7100 blues are not an effective actinic light. That is why I currently use a NO actinic. It's 30 watts do more that 192 watts of PC blue light. I am thinking about going with 3 white (6700K) PCs and another NO actinic or swap the PCs out entirely with the VHOs (Icecap 660) that I use on my freshwater tank so that I can go with VHO 50/50s and actinics on my reef go with 6700 PCs exclusively on my freshwater tank.
