my tank

[qaz]

Hi everyone! I'm new to the club so i figured I would introduce my self and my tank.

My name is Adam, I live in Colorado springs CO. I got into reef keeping last November. before that all I had a 55g African chiclid tank.

a few things about my tank:
-life reef skimmer w/mag 5
-mag 12 return
-refugium w/ macro
-2-250 mh/ 4-56 pc
-250lbs LR
-100lbs LS
-gravity fed top off
-two yellow tangs
-four perculas
-three chromis
-cleaner shrimp
-red sea cucumber
-snails, crabs....
-sps,lps,soft corals

when I first started my tank it came with xenia, leather, kenya tree. after a lot of research I'm in the process of changing to sps dominant, with lps. some pics of all my tears, sweat, and blood

Welcome! Nice tank! You started pretty much the same time I did I already got the first upgrade though

 

[qaz]

thanks everyone

I hope this tank will be up for a long time no upgrades for me. I take that back I did put starfire in the front but that's it. everyone told me for the first tank figure out what you can afford and go with the next size up.

Welcome to RF

Beautiful Onyx! I love those.

 

[qaz]

thanks
which one is the onyx lol

 

[Sascha D]

Thats my bad

You have Percs. and Black Osc. Clowns. Onyx are True Percs. that have extended black line connecting the white and orange.

I'm horrible with names sorry
the black clown was my first fish and one of my favorites

cool lovely tank

 

[trido]

for the first tank figure out what you can afford and go with the next size up

Now that is advice everyone should consider. Looks like it should grow in nicely.

the choice i had was go new and get something small or spend the same amount on craig's list and get something a little bigger. no regrets so far
