Frankie's 120gal. glass experiment

[Frankie]

Wow, a lot has happened since i last posted here.
Quick update: I lost the anemone, ( it happens) and i added a few corals and a new little clam. I had a ca++ reactor made by a local guy and he did an awesome job on it. here are a few pictures.

A few more and a close up of my new little buddy!

 

[Frankie]

Ah, what the heck, a few more

Who needs an anemone when you can have a gigas?

 

[Scooterman]

WOW Frankie, that is nice, is that teh T5's like that or did you replace the 10K lamps?

Looking real good. Your clam is dripping.....:lol:

 

[class clown]

the big clam is a nice addition. and your sun corals are stunning - congrats on maintaining such a beautiful setup!

Is that a blue turaki on the right hand side of the right rock mound about mid way up?

 

[Frankie]

Thanks everyone
here are a few i took today. I am trying to learn top down shots. The first one is a new clam i got today. Sorry for the glare, i will get better.

I see by your light reflection that you have the newer lumen arc round reflector. How do you like them?

Where is a picture of your lighting in action?

 

[Frankie]

I like them a lot! There called lumen brights. There supposed to reflect the light 16% more then the older model. Here is the thread i did on them.

[Frankie]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone
I have been doing some upgrading to the wood work lately. Here are a few pictures. I also installed a draw in the cabinet.

 

[Scooterman]

Funny how you can add all of the extra room, shelves draws etc & still never have enough room! Looks like you finished up the wood work, now I guess I need to do mine!

Nice work, organized ciaos!

 

[Frankie]

I still have a ways to go on the wood work. the cabinet doors, bottom kick, and two sides are not finished yet.
Most of the stuff i have is junk that needs to be tossed or empties that need to be refilled. The cabinet does make it easier to deal with the wife though

Well it's been a while since I updated this thread so I will load you all down with some pictures of what I have been up too.
I tore out the refugium from underneath the tank and piped everything out into the garage. I built a new skimmer (copied the Barr ultra) and built a new dual chamber Ca++ reactor. I have also gone zeovit. I am on month one so far so not much to say on it other then the polyp extension has improved a lot and the corals seem to be changing to better colors. Not to sure if that is the zeo yet though or the Radium's I have changed over too. I also recently built a water changing station to make water changes easier since I need to do weekly now using zeo. I changed over to Reefers Best Salt also.
Enough blabber, here's some pictures
