New 46 Gallon Reef

[StingrayKid]

Well, I upgraded my 10gallon nano reef into a much larger, 46 gallon bow front *future* reef. I'll be starting to add new inhabitants soon once all my perameters stable and out and such. Heres the tank after the live sand settled and it was all set up:




It put a hole in my wallet, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.

WOW, that looks awsome
oh much live rock is that?

 

[StingrayKid]

Thats about 45 pounds of live rock. I had 10pounds in the nano reef before which I transfered over to this tank.

Looks good

What fish do you plan to put in?
What happened to the fish in the nano?

I plan on stocking it with a few dwarf angels. Those are definately my favorite. If their temperment is good, then I'll probably put a few more species of fish in there. My old nano reef had a few problems. The water which I thought was R/O water turned out to have a lot of different metals in it, which caused big algae blooms, and such. I only had one fish in there and it was a Percula Clownfish. But, unfortunately he jumped and I think my cats got him while he was flopping on the floor.
