I have 48"x24"x24" Oceanic 120 gallon with a 40 gallon sump. My lights are current outer orbit HQI 48" 560 watt lights. I have a ASM G3 skimmer, use two phos-reactors with carbon and ROWRban phosphate removal and run a UV sterlizer always. I also run 2 tunze streams on a controller and have a Reeflo Snapper Sequence pump slowed down to approxiamtely 2500 GPH. I use a tunze top off system which works perfectly. I also use th SpectraPure LiterMeter III to dose Ocean's Blend parts A + B. I have 19 fish, 2 anenomes, 1 linkia starfish, 3 Maxima Ultra Clams, a large Derse clam, a few of other invertabrates and keep a large variety of hard and soft corals. I do a 35 gallon water change every two weeks and water comes off of a RO/DI filter. My levels are always kept at 0 with a temp between 78 and 81 degrees. My tank has only been up and running for about 8 months now. |

Lionfish - The large dark one is a male (I think) and the smaller white one in the back is a female (I think) because they have "courted" each other many times. |
| Quote: |
Stop looking at me, I'm trying to be steathy! |
| Advice: |
Do not rush the water conditioning process. Many people (myself included) cannot wait to get more fish when they start, so they just add heaps of fish very quickly. This just messes up the water chem (too much ammonia) and the fish just die. So wait and don't put too many fish in at the beginning and don't ever put too many fish in at one time (wait at least 2 weeks between fish to let your filter(s) balance the new ammonia load). And wait at least 1 month for the tank to cycle (when you first set up the tank - at this time, DO NOT add any fish...you only need 1 or 2 damsels to help the cycling process...no more! or it will kill the process and make it longer).
You need live rock and a protein skimmer, so get them fast. Oh and get a tank with a sump built in if you can afford it, it is really hard to add them later (I know).
Lastly: Read, read, read and read... |
| Fish Kept: |
Too many to remember (haven't had a death for 2 years though - well apart from the little bluedevil damsel eaten by my big lionfish). |

I'll get back to you on that one. |
