Funlad3's 90 Gallon Peninsula Reef Tank

So I'm a bit out of date with my tank. :) I'm running 8x54 Watt T5s, after my LEDs kept shocking me to near-death. I also knocked over half of my rock work and rebuilt it similarly to what it was, but better. I got a mandarin and a mystery, decided the mystery was too aggressive to my Solarensis, then evicted him. Now I want some leopards, so I'm getting rid of most of my current sand bed to replace it with an oolitic one, which, by the way, I've always liked more.

I had my dad pick me up some coral when Eric shut down the WCR Stock Tank, so I grabbed a few nice frags and mini colonies. I traded some extra coral from my mini frag tank to Kevin for a BTA that decided to wander around the tank. After he killed my SECOND ORA Pearlberry (Eric, I don't think I'm meant to have this coral.... :)), he got traded to the Sea Schor (yesterday) for a nice acro minicolony. I also put a deposit down on a Yellow Assesor, which I'll hopefully pick up sometime this week.

I knocked over all but two of my acros when I had to cut free the rock that the anemone was on, so I need to reglue all of them.... After I do that, like I said, I'm switching out most of my sandbed. I still want to go back to LEDs, but that's not in the cards for a while. It also looks like Prestige LED is offline, so that makes my choice a bit difficult.... Ah well, I'll figure it out!

And that's my tank over the past two months. I'll try to get some pictures or videos up in the next few days. :)
 
if you want great LEDs for a wonderful price get 2 of the cc-120 from coralcompulsion.com they are full spectrum and the coloing in my corals is amazing from them. i liked the rock work you had, it was very unique.
 
There are a lot of quality threads on leds in the forums right now too. I just bought some, so went through that whole decision process, lol! Personally I'd recommend DIY if you're up to it, or ask Jimmy of CC nicely if he will let you customize a layout and choose some good wavelength leds!

I might end up going DIY, because most LED fixtures in my budget right now don't have true sunrise/sunset capabilities.... We'll see. :)
 
I have a video uploading now! And I don't know what you mean by fancy drain; all that I have is a Durso!
 
Looks good . I always had better luck with t5 when i came to color in coral i used ati bulbs 8 on my 75 now have ebay leds modded corals look better then ever . I kill everything with mh

The algae looks like it's clearing up. And that voice.... :date:

Walt, the algae has actually just grown that thinly; it's quite bothersome. I have a family friend dropping off their sea hare later this week, so I'll be done with the algae within a day or so after that.

And sorry about my tone; it was a bit after midnight when I took the video, and it was out of boredom, sooo...... :D
 
Oh, and thanks Dave, Kameron! I want the algae gone, I want my colors back, and I need to stop slacking off on the dosing! :D
 
Guess who rescaped? ME!!!

I hope you guys don't mind the fish trap in the pictures; I'm trying to catch the assessor...

I'm also back to LEDs, so I'm expecting better colors on my coral in a week or two. Yes. That soon. :)
 
I hope you catch the assessor quicker than it took me to get the melanarus lol!

I like the rescape though! Looks awesome!
