Quick Shots Of My 120

Tank is coming along rather nicely, you have some good sps growth as well. Are you dosing calcium / alkalinity, running a kalk system, or just doing very frequent water changes?

 

[EricTMah]

I do 15 gal water changes weekly. But on top of the kalk in my ato, I also dose alk and mag daily.

That stag horn have grown a lot from the last time I seen it, good job. Look like rainbow colour on that one pic.

 

[EricTMah]

What kind of LEDs are you running on the tank?

Some of you know. I had a huge (6"-8") blue tang in my tank that I've had for almost 11 years. I wanted him out. But I was dreading having to take my tank apart over the holidays to get him out. I even tried a trap and baiting a small non barbed hook with no luck.

By chance I was able to scoop him out last night with just a single swoop of a net. . I'm still in shock I was able to get him.

I moved him to my frag tank to ensure he's ok before going to a new home.

I also met up with steve last night to grab some of his sps to hold till he's back up and running. Along with that. I bought both his clams.

I made room for the gold maxi in my display, and the blue is in my frag tank patiently waiting for me to build my new system.

I'm going to try and get some updated shots of my tank later today.

Nice tank! I love the foam wall. I built one on my 135 and loved it!

 

[EricTMah]

Thanks.

Ya I saw yours for sale. I'm surprised no one has bought it.

I want to go bigger but if no one buys mine I will just set it up again. I loved the wall and I put tones of work into it. So it wouldent hurt my feelings if I had to use it again lol
The room that the wall gives is awesome. At one time I had the wall full of corals and the tank looked great

You're right. It is a boat load of work to do.

I personally love mine for the space and how unique it is.

I'd like to see your tank up and running again.

Your foam wall can be sprayed directly to the tank or on a egg create frame. Either way the tank will need to be emptied. If it's on a frame(like mine). You'll still need the tank dry to silicone in place. This stuff floats like no ones business.

Also if they are large sheets you may want to think about totally sealing them to the back glass. Some on rc have complained about detutrius build up between the wall and the glass. To solve that I completly sealed mine. The only removable pieces are the overflow covers.

 

[scubasteve]

dang it that put an abrupt stop to that idea oh well next tank lol

All I do is take a power with a hose attached to it and blow behind the wall once a few months. I didn't want to seal it to the back or the sides in case I have to flip my tank due to scratches

The only way I can think that you won't have to silicone it, is if you use cement instead of foam. I have a ton of white portland cement here if you wanted to give it a try
