I still have a long one but now a FOWLR

[dmbfreek]

Well after some thought I decided to do a FOWLR in the long 70g. This will be a temporary home until I upgrade to a larger tank.
Here's the 2 inhabitants in there now.

and the temporary home for the reef.

the water looks pretty cloudy in those pics, it looks a lot clearer now.

Thanks Gaby! It was a hard decision but I couldn't see leaving the lion and eel in the 29g display aquarium at my LFS.

Love the lion and the eel for sure now i miss mine are they eating frozen food????

 

[dmbfreek]

Thanks brady, They are eating krill but I plan on giving them a varied diet.

Here's a recent shot of the 30g cube reef that I've been working on.

Getting ready to transfer the inhabitants from the small tank to this one this weekend.

Holy Cow, what are the dimensions of that long tank? It's only 70 gallons?

 

[dmbfreek]

If memory serves, I believe it to be 82"L X 13.5"D X 14.5"H. It's a temporary home until I get my 125 set up, hopefully soon.

 

[returnofsid]

WOW!! That's almost 7' long!! Incredible!! With it only being 13.5" deep, that'd make a heck of a frag tank, given the right lighting.

 

[dmbfreek]

Yeah, but the tank has had a copper treatment and from what I've heard, it stays in the silicone.

 

[returnofsid]

There are chemicals that you can use to remove the copper. Cupramine is one of these. Not sure how effective it is but I've been told, by people who should know, that you can make these tanks reef safe.

 

[dmbfreek]

Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I really don't know if I'm ready to buy all of the equipment needed for a frag tank lol! I'll probably just give the tank stand and hood away after my 125 is set up.

 

[returnofsid]

LOL Well, in that case, put me in line!!!! I do understand what you're saying. Lighting alone for a tank that long would cost a pretty penny!!

 

[dmbfreek]

I tell ya what, if you want it I'll give you a call once I empty it out.

 

[returnofsid]

Heck, I can't pass that deal up!!! Thanks!! Let me know when you're ready to populate your reef tank. I'm sure I'll have some frags available!!
