65 gallon tall first reef

[thehowards]

The tank was started around 4 months ago recently got the lighting a beamswork quad 10000k with 52 3w LEDs with a 75% white ratio. For fish there is a starry blenny, juvenile green mandarin, and two clowns the female a onyx and the male a miss barred percula. The first coral was a flaming dendrophyllia which in the past month has sprouted two new heads! Then more recently added since the reef capable lighting is a rainbow rose bubble tip, a candy cane, a frogspawn, eagle eye zoa's, and some green palys.

Picked up a new piece tonight a nice looking Yuma.

Nice! Love the Yuma. It's a beauty. Are u feeding a small amount of coral food? A baster is good to slowly squirt the food near the coral.

 

[thehowards]

Yea I use a baster at every feeding and everyone gets something even of they don't require it i want the reef to thrive not just survive

Very nice tank!!! LOVE pattern on the rock. It looks cool!

 

[thehowards]

Thanks we bought it piece by piece as live rock we liked having the big rocks with lots of natural hiding holes. It also should help with the pod population giving them places deep in the rock to breed.

Here is the side pics of the rocks.

Haven't updated this in a while changed a few things as well. The lighting is a reef breeders photon 32. Changed the scape added some LR and a lot of new corals since the last update. Also now have a blue dot jawfish in there he is awesome . Did loose a few things and others still recovering since I had a refractometer stop accurately working causing me to raise my salinity and almost kill everything in the tank. Also just went to coral con here in Fl and picked up a few new things since I had been holding off new coral purchases for it for the past few months for it
