(Tank's) 72G SPS Tank - Reef-Geeks

Tank2379 · Reef-Geek

Well since everyone else is showing of there systems I might as well to. I am running a 72G Bow Front with a 20Gallon Long SUMP DIY. I am dosing BRS two part every other day instead of everyday like some folks are doing.

My Lighting are T-5's (NEP) Nova Extreme Pro I pick this system because of the double fans that it comes with it really gets the bulbs cool along with the ballast, I haven't have a problem yet and going on two years plus without changing the ballast.

Bulb Combo are as follows I went with more of the blue look
Front
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aqua Blue Special
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Blue Plus
ATI Aqua Blue Special
KZ Fiji Purple
Back

I do not have a top off system so I kinda do it and eye ball it to the correct level as I see fit, but I am working on getting a top off unit which is in the works for my next project.

I am also using Brightwell's Neo Marine and also dosing once a week Tropic Marine Bio-Actif Reef Actif for low nutrient system. I also have a dual carbon and GFO reactor from BRS Supply. My skimmer is a Octopus NW150 Needlewheel skimmer this thing is a beast.

So far I am having great result an great coloration to my corals and SPS not time to show off me tank..

WOW looking great Tank!!!

The unknown sps's look like Porites to me.

How long has the tank been set up for? Did you start all the sps's from frags or did you mix a few colony's in there?

Tank2379 · Reef-Geek

I've had the tank up for a year but before that I had a 55G running before the upgrade.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Is this your only tank that you have going now?

Tank2379 · Reef-Geek

Right now yes but I have a Nano Build thread going on RC. It's a 10G build... I need to update it over here on this forum...

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Some of them I started with a frag but the other have been acquired they way they are like the red digi and orange digi but they have gotten bigger since this pictures were taken about a month ago. and they have been in then tank well over 2 months now... I have others that I have had over a year and have grown quite well. I really did not start out with SPS it was really mixed with softies and LPS but I got into SPS more about 6 months ago and I really like the look and they way sps and some LPS look.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I don't hate them, they hate me because I am all for the greater good....
