[Emg]

I don't remember if I've posted pics of this tank here or not.....


It's my first dip into the sw world and so far has been going extremely well. It was setup toward the end of Oct 2006.

Equiptment:
lighting....40watts 50/50 flourescent
filtration.....aquaclear 70 fixed up as a refugium
powerheads....a 170gph something or other and a maxi jet 400
100watt stealth heater

[Evan214]

Lovely.

What/how many inverts do you have?
How many lbs of live rock do you have?
Which corals do you have?

I'm thinking about doing this exact same sized setup. Thanks!

I have 3 hermits, 2 peppermint shrimp, one emerald crab, some nassarious, turbo and cerith snails and some others that were hitchikers that I don't know what they are.....also a whole bunch of small brittle stars that came along with the star polyps...I couldn't believe how many came crawling out of that bunch of coral after I put it in the tank....lol...

There's about 20lbs of LR in there and right now for corals I have the star polyps, 3 zoanthid polyps which were hithikers on the rack with the star polyps on it......a group of pulsing xenia and some type of mushroom coral that I'm hoping the clowns adopt...

Here's some pics of the refugium right after I put it together..had to silicone in a baffle between the impellor area and the tank part......and then a pic I took just now.. :D

I do have pics of the refugium as I put it together....if you want to see those "Is" I can upload and post those too.......actually, here's the site where I got the info about it... http://www.wetwebmedia.com/hagenrefugart.htm
