Well, I figured I should start up a thread for my new tank, set up yesterday. The tank is plumbed into my 90 gallon system for a total water volume of 145 gallons. In the 90 I am wanting to make the tank more SPS oriented but I was not willing to give up the zoas so I set up their own tank. So this tank is going to primarily be zoanthids and palys, with a few acans and goniopora mixed in. The tank is a 40 breeder with 70lbs. of live rock and 60lbs. live sand. For lighting I went with a 250 watt MH with 2 32 watt PC's. I was planning on doing T-5 lights but I came into a pendant that had a mogul socket and 2 PC sockets for free, so I couldn't pass that up.
For flow I am using 3 nano Korallias and a Korallia 1 on a wave maker for sporadic flow that the zoas and palys love. I have a mag 5 as a return pump. I have a rather large zoa garden in my 90 gallon tank that I am transferring into the 40 today.
Here are some pictures of the tank as it went up yesterday!
70lbs of rock some of those are huge!
Sand and rock
First water!
The tank this morning
and again
I will keep this updated as often as possible!
