Garrett's 90 Gallon

[garrettm85]

Well I am new to this site, so I thought I would introduce myself with a few pictures.
The tank is 90 gallons. It has a 40 gallon acrylic sump with a built in refugium. I use a dual pfo 400 watt metal halide ballast with 330 watts of vho actinic supplimentation. I recently added 4 blue lunar led's. I use an RPS 1000 as my protien skimmer and will hopefully be upgrading to an RPS 2000 in the near future. I believe that the more live rock and the more water volume the system has, generally the easier it is to care for. I do regular water changes of about 20 gallons about once every month or so and also test water parameters and chemical levels at that time. I have had this system up and running since June and have been upgrading regularly.

Here is my tank

I have a terrible addiction to zoanthids

Thanks vanz. They are going to be for sale or trade in a week or two. I am waiting for the frags to really get happy and would like them to start budding some new polyps before I trade them. If you are interested in a trade let me know.

[siskiou]

I'd also be interested in buying a few of your frags! Awesome zoas!

Sounds good. I am going to make a thread when they are up for grabs which should be within the next couple of weeks. Think of cool stuff to trade if you want.

[garrettm85]

The pictures really don't show the true beauty, but these are some of my zoas. Next time I will shrink the shutter size a bit.

I don't know what it is, but there's something about the zoos I like the most. Love your color selections. Need to get some of those! Working on growing corals in my tank to make a nano for my wife's classroom and it will probably be full of zoos and rics. Love them both.
