  1. Hi again all. Back from the reef-less place again, kind of. This is my work showcase tank. Started this in March of 2021 on the first day of my new job; after a drastic change of direction in my career path. At it's core it is a FluvalSEA EVO 13.5 with the standard filtration block in chamber 2, the FluvalSEA PS2 Mini Protein Skimmer (replaced 3 times due to pump failures) in chamber 1. The circulation pump and heater occupy chamber 3 and both have been upgraded from the recommended specs for more constant/reliable temperature regulation and more flow respectively. An old-skool deep sandbed wasn't really practical with the given space, so I tried my best to get a really well populated 2-3 inches (with bugs from as many different places as I could managed and using two varieties of pre-packaged live-sand for the base. Corals consists of donated frags from regular customers along the way, some frugal rescues of stressed/damaged frags, and cherry-picked favorites purchased from Petco (Bloomington Magnet Store), Tidal Gardens (online), and most recently Modern Aquatics (Stellar corals there!). Personal highlights include: - a branch of "Tracy Morgan" gorgonian (center-stage on the sand) - a nuclear candy cane (bottom-left on the rock base) - some Bam-bam zoas (middle-right behind some C. prolifera) - a recovering-from-brown-out rainbow monti (top-center behind the "E" in "GREAT"). I'm a plant-hoarder at heart, so there are also 3 varieties of Caulerpa sp., Codium sp. mounds, Gracilaria. Fish are limited to: - Koumansetta rainfordi "court jester" or "Rainfordi" gobies (2) - Stonogobiops yasha "Yasha gobies" (2) - Elacatinus multifasciatus "green-banded gobies" (2) - Acanthemblemaria hastingsi "cortez blenny" (1; received as a panamic barnacle blenny) Because I'm me, the fish are pretty secondary to the inverts which include: - Fire cleaner shrimp (1) - Red-banded pistol shrimp (2; paired symbiotically, one each with the Yasha gobies) - Pom-pom crabs; with pom-poms! (3) - Sexy shrimp (6) - Bumblebee shrimp (2) - porcelain crab, white with brown spots; filter feeder (1) - anemone crab, green-brown with teal highlights; filter feeder (1) - Bumblebee snails (5) - Nerite snails (3) - Stomatella snails (many) - Collonista snails (many) - Asterina stars (many) - Brittle micro stars (several) Good to be back. Cheers, Scott "Densityman" Chevalier
  2. I wanted to show everyone my system:-) It’s a 40G breeder mixed reef. It’s a neat little system. I am successfully growing SPS and LPS without issues... Also softies of course. I designed it from scratch. This is only my second reeftank. For filtration i have a corner overflow housing a small filter sock with marinepure media underneath. This is also where the mj90” pump is for my ATS and ATO censors. Sounds cluttered but it really not. I’m running a reef racer turf scrubber and Aquamaxx hob 1.5 protein skimmer. No sump. I run kalk in my ato reservoir. I use a tunze osmolator 3155. I also supplement brs alk,cal,mg as needed. I have a reefbreeder photon 32 led. I must say I’m surprised what can be accomplished with hob equipment and great husbandry. The tank was started in August of 2016.
  3. Looking for some nice frags often leads us to look multiple places. In an attempt to make it easier for everyone looking to find that special show piece I decided to try and compile a list of local and E-vendors that sell livestock at this time. This isn’t a comprehensive list so if you know of a reputable dealer please post and I will try and update when I have the time.

  5. Hello All, This will be my first post here - moved to Indy from NJ last month and finally have some time to start a journal of my tank build. Any input is encouraged and local information (good places for live rock, SPS, etc.) also welcome. I'll pay my dues and become a member when I get home from work - for now you'll have to settle for the specs. I'll update the next chance I get. Synopsis: The system will be 2 tanks connected to a common 10 gallon sump. The first tank is a 22G Mr.Aqua Rimless (36x12x12) and the second is a JBJ 30G (24x18x19). The 22G will be a dedicated SPS tank with a bare bottom and the 30G will serve as the softie tank with some macro-algae, perhaps an anemone later on. The 10 gallon sump will also be a refugium since the skimmer is a HOB. The system is controlled by the Neptune Apex controller. Equipment: 22G: - MAME Overflow - Mr.Aqua 22G Rimless Aquarium (36x12x12) - 2x OceanRevive S026 LED Lights - MaxiJet 900 Return - Vortech MP40 on Reef Crest Mode - AquaMaxx HOB-1 Skimmer w/ Bubble Reducer (skimmer for both systems) - 3x 50W ViaAqua Heaters - BeamWorks 20" Refugium Light 30G: - JBJ 30G AIO Aquarium (24x18x19) - The back chambers will be a refugium entirely. - OceanRevive S026 LED Light - Stock Pumps for flow (~500gph) - 3" Sand Bed - MAME Overflow - MaxiJet 1200 Return Pics: Anyone know the best place for live rock? I'm likely going to go with Premium Aquatics as I've already got 25lbs. of very good base rock from MarcoRocks yesterday.
