Hi
Ive been off the radar for a while and thought id let you guys know whats been happening . I moved house a week ago so i had to pull the 140 gallon reef down and we retired a 75 gallon reef and a 75 gallon refugium that ran off the main tank due to the fact i cant be bothered anymore with the constant maintenance involved with maintaining 3 tanks and also the phytoplankton and rotifers. It was all becoming to much and i wasnt enjoying it anymore because the time i should of been spending sitting back and looking at my treasures was spent just maintaining them![]()
So i set off with a very clear objective to have one tank but have the best tank possible. So i removed 90% of my soft corals and about 75% of my LPS corals with the vision to go all out SPS. I traded at least 50 good frags with a LFS and kept what i couldnt bear to lose .
I did away with the sandbed alltogether Yep no sandbed no more ive put my rock on homemade racks to keep it off the bottom and plumbed up my return from the sump to run along the back of the bottom of the tank to push all the rubbish to the front for easy removal.![]()
When i loaded the tank up with my rock i had a big bonus i finally caught the quietest Mantis known to man he was in my main tank for at least 3 years undetected he would love to eat my hermits and shrimps and i pulled out every rock on at least 3 occasions .What a mongrel so happy to get him .
Heres some pics
