SW tank Of The Month-March 2011

petlover516 · 02-01-2011, 04:13 PM

Hey everybody! Once again, I'm doing the tank of the month!

-all entries are due by February 10th(preferably earlier, I'd say February 8th)
-the polls will be opened on February 10th and closed by the 18th,
-all members are elligible, but a pic or video of a tank must be presented in THIS thread.
-all pictures/videos MUST be hosted by the AQUARIUM FORUM GALLERY!! this was a major problem last year-the pix/vids must be in the gallery.
-the winner will need to write an article about his/her tank, which will be showcased on March 1st.
on the 10th, I'll start the poll thread.
So dou you have an Indo-Pacific reef tank? Or a planted temperate tank? A cool predatory-fish tank? Or a busy fish-only? Doesn't matter what size, shape, or age-you can enter!
EDIT: please include the size and biotope of the tank, too, in your entry. Examples: 75-gallon reef tank, 150gallon predatory-fish tank, 30gallon fish-only tank

It's a 90gal. reef ready under 2x 400watt Medal Halides with 12k bulbs with 2x 110watt VHO's for actinic. 30gal. long sump with a ASM-G3 skimmer, macro algae and a phosban reactor with carbon media and a mag 12 return pump. For water movement there are 2 vortech mp 40's. ATO running into a kalkwasser reactor to maintain Cal & Akl. Algae turf scrubber run by a mag 3 circulation pump. The tank is mostly SPS' LPS and a few mushrooms.

Here's a pic of my 45 gallon reef tank. The quality of the pic was reduced significantly to post here, but maybe you are able to click the picture and see a better version. Let me know what you think.

Thanks...its a 45g IFS reef tank. I don't think it's a 'breeder tank', but not really sure what that is.

Bumpage

Chillwill007 · 02-14-2011, 06:27 PM

A breeder tank is just long and wide. A 40 breeder tank is 36Lx 18Wx16H but if you calc it out it is actually a45 gallon tank. I was just wondering cause I have a40 breeder that I want to set up and your tank looks great

M1ster Stanl3y · 02-15-2011, 09:23 AM

M1ster Stanl3y · 02-16-2011, 09:17 AM

Thanks Chillwill - I believe it is a breeder tank. I'll try and get some exact specs. Fairly long and wide, but the IFS takes up a few inches in the back.
