Very nice! How big?

 

[triggers88]

Very nice!! We need details!! Lighting, flow and livestock...for starters.

 

[lbannie]

Nice!! That's the size I want! Is it a reef? How about some closeups?

 

[SwimsWithFish]

Whatever it is I love the rock work! Is that acrylic?

 

[triggers88]

Thanks I put all the stats up soon and close up pictures the rock work is all live rock..

Does it get enough light? Fixture is hanging pretty high up.

 

[triggers88]

Yer that was a problem web I started I needed it high to feed my shark but I still get enough light since most things are centered were I get all the light it does fade a lil to the edges but nothin that would effect it.. .. It's running two halogen the bluest kind 140 w with two blue lights dark blue n light blue so I have the perfect spectrum..

 

[triggers88]

Nah I would say it was a reef set up although I have corals but mainly predator tank.. I am running the tank on a 5 foot sump with a 1000lt skimmer .. Also a reffugium with two types of plants growing. Its running on a simple t5... Simple live rock set up in sump with matrix and bio balls . Return pump is 4700 ltrs per hour with 4 return points around the tank.. Jus a normal heater.. Haven't put chiller on it yet.. Not sure if i will need it either.. The fish I have are clown trigger fuscus trigger two rectangle triggers two red tooth triggers a picaso trigger.. Wedge tail trigger undulated trigger blue jaw trigger bursa trigger blonde lipstick tang powder Blue tang pair of clowns some damsels and some chromis and a equlate shark ...

How big is it in gallons/liters?

 

[triggers88]

In roughly about 2500 ltrs ... My bacteria in my sump has been active for over 7 years well established tank..

 

[Hinds04]

isn’t 2500 liters roughly 600 gallons? Im looking at a 8x2x2 and its only 240 gallons. What a difference the extra 6” makes.

 

[triggers88]

Haha sorry mate should of specified I was including my tank and it's an extra 12" cubed in area.. So it will make a diff specially web my sump is 5 feet and my tank is 8 feet
