Is it a reef yet?

[Swimfins]

Here is my slowwwwwwly developing reeftank :) New mag float needed too.

[Cartman102]

nice! how big is the tank?

[Blinky]

Sweet! Looks great SF. I posted a while back and asked at what point does a tank stop being FOWLR with a few corals and become a reef, and the response I got was that once corals are in (and in your case a nem as well), you're well on your way and can call it a reef :)

[Swimfins]

Its slow going. 65 gallon needs better filtration and maybe I'll look into a remora pro for a skimmer and a hang on back refuge before I stock anything else. I find water quality issues are more apparent in the bigger tank than in the smaller 30g I had up before. I've got 2 clowns in there, a cinammon and a tomato that I had bought really tiny and did not know they were different species but they mated up anyhow. I have a wrasse that is under the rock scavanging in this photo. The anemone is holding its own but I'm really worried for the water and hope to get a better skimmer and a refuge up soon!

Phew, i thought that was the 25G in your tank specs.. would have been one for the tang police!

[Swimfins]

OMg time to change the tank specs eh?

[Swimfins]

Here's a couple more of us fish ;)

[Cartman102]

What are the dimensions of your tank? Looks nice.

[Swimfins]

Its a standard 65 18 wide and 36 long 24 tall. Tall makes lighting more of an issue. I'm considering putting in a deep sand bed to build everything up higher with more rock. I shoulda done it from the start...sigh!

Looks good! :thm:

aww tanks Freddy, I moved the anemone up to about 12 inches from the light source and its doing nicely attatched to lr with some rubble beneath the foot.

[FreddytheFish]

What kind of live rock do you have? It looks nice.

[Swimfins]

I have about 40 pounds of fiji and 25 of base rock that's now live rock. I'm considering adding more base rock to boost the height of the heap. I plan on adding a better skimmer and a hang on fuge before adding any moreoccupants. :)

[FreddytheFish]

Cool. Its looking good.

So, how that Yellow Tang working out? I just read the thread about you getting her. Yellow's are great fish. Doin' OK?

[Swimfins]

Hi: The tang is doing great as he is the alpha fish and claims his world as his alone lol and that's how it will stay. I'm waiting on an overflow and will set up a sump before adding expensive corals. (Plumbing 101 learning fast)I'd like the water quality to be nicer before investing more $$$ into it.
I have no regrets for adding the tang, he is doing fine. I know alot were having issues with a yt in 65 gallon and I was prepared to move him, but he just looks so happy. He comes to the glass when he sees me and watches for me putting in his nori. He's just a pet. Thanks for asking.

[dorkfish]
