My 72

rwag · 02-17-2002, 10:47 PM

Wanted to post a pic of my first reef tank. Picture taken today, been up for about year and a half. I will be taking it down and moving most of
the contents in the next few weeks and putting them into a 125 I am setting up.

That looks VERY nice! Especially for only being up a year. Are you going to hang on to the 72 in addition to the new tank? Good luck with the new set-up.

rwag · 02-18-2002, 12:06 AM

Thanks jwtrojan44, I will get rid of the 72 once
It is taken down It is a oceanic bowfront It
has a granite looking finish to it and matching stand

Yes, I bought it at the fish doctors in canton.
How much extra sand do you have mrok?

Very nice. It looks CLEAN

rwag · 02-20-2002, 04:45 PM

Thanks golfish.
I will be doing some xenia farming in the next couple of weeks if any one in the plymouth area is
interested in some? My xenia is getting out of control!

Your tank is lookin great! you should be proud...all inhabitants look healthy and happy. Kudos! I just love the look of that big patch of xenia in the top r. side

rwag · 02-20-2002, 07:07 PM

Thanks scuba
As far as the xenia goes...
That was 1 single colony about 3mo ago as you can see it is growing like crazy.

Man the live rocks look wild! And the softies look extremley healthy. good luck with the 125. what is the lighting system you are using in the 72? the reason I ask is because I am in the process of setting up a 72 bow

rwag · 02-24-2002, 08:35 PM

Saltymp,
Right now I am using 2 175 metal halide and 2 40
watt actinic. Before I was using 4/55 watt pc's
Go with at least 2 175 mh if you can. I am much more happy with them. Mine is one unit it is black made by hamilton technoligies has 1 4" fan in it also. My temp did not go up either.

rwag- sweet looking tank! very nice. It's good to see someone else on this board from south-eastern Michigan! I am in the plymouth area about two times a week. Are you selling the xenia? or giving it away? Let me know, I go to fish docs quite often so we could probably meet there.

FishDaddy · 02-26-2002, 10:57 AM

That's a beauty, Ryan!
Nice job!

Is there some sort of colour morph on your rabbit???

rwag · 02-26-2002, 06:22 PM

Bongobrain,
For a fellow reefland member I would be more then happy to give you
a couple of xenia stalks. Also I got some anthelia I will be thinning out
looks nice (large polyps). I will e-mail you or post when I have them propped. onto some new rocks. Might be several days, all my extra time now (which isnt much) is going into my 125 that I am working on.

Northman,
My rabbit seems to change colors quite frequenty.(He gets scared easy)
