Chapz 65G Tank

[Chapz]

Just wanted to show an update on my 65Gallomn reef tank.
Its been a few months now that the tank has been running.
Just wanted to thank all those members Neeko08/Chibireefer for getting me into this hobby by bringing me to December07 Frag swap.
I've been fortunate to meet tons of members and been hooked up as well.
Some livestock from my first frag of leathers from Leslies to my crocea clam from Jaws and some inverts from WWOF and NaCL-H20.
From an overflow/sump package from kewlfish and my DIY Canopy build with assistance from Daddyreefer13, the setup is looking great.
There are so many people i didnt mention but they know who they are.
I figure its finally time to upload these pics.
Thanks MR!!!!

Quite an Improvement from my 20G setup That i started November 2007.
Improvised and used paper towel roll ends to keep the light fixture up.

What kind of lighting are you using? Where is the dinosaur?

Now thats ghetto :lol2:

U know i was actually looking for the dinosaur that was in the 20G setup before but i cant seem to find it. Maybe its buried in the sump sand.
AS for lighting, im using PC and T5 lights since the 65 is a wide tank. Both light strips hold 2 bulbs each.

Hey Peter looking good.

Thanks for the corals Joe. There looking great. Seeing your tank was an eye opener. Alsways room for improvement. THe Frogspawns look awesome just like you said they would. Im trying to remember everyone i purchased corals from.

Took awhile to get it that way. All held on its own without glue. I got that setup idea after seeing ireefny (Dex's) tank. Purchased some corals from him also. Another MR influence.

Yo Peter... Looks like you're well into the hobby, now. Good stuff. Do you know if Welmer has a tank up and running yet?

Careful with those xenias. They get outta control.

It's Erick, BTW.

This hobby takes lots of time but the progress looks good.

Im picturing those towels getting damp with humidity and caving in causing a nice light show.Maybe Ive been subject to murphys law a little to much, glad it worked out for you......it DID work out for you, right?
