View Full Version : Some pics of my new 75g calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:12 PM A couple of my sump room calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:19 PM Some tank shots glxtrix 03-12-2008, 2:22 PM Awesome man, it's looking great! calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:25 PM In the tank. (I need a better camera). glxtrix 03-12-2008, 2:27 PM Did you get that YT from me? or was that someone else....dang this old age is getting to me. calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:33 PM More reef pics calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:36 PM Yep thats your yellow tang. He's fat and happy and gets along with the sailfin for the most part. I'm designing a 150-180g I'm having made this summer so I don't want anyone thinking I plan on keeping these tangs in such a small tank. calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:44 PM Here's a shot of my overflow. The short standpipe is my main drain it feeds my chiller and is also t'd off to a slow flow refugium. I use ball valves to control the water height in the overflow. This keeps it silent and no air bubbles make it to the drain. The tall stand pipe is my emergency drain line if it starts up it's loud and I can correct the problem. I got this idea from this thread: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=344892 glxtrix 03-12-2008, 2:50 PM Awesome! Yeah he looks great. I'm glad that you were able to give him such a great home, that poor guy really deserved it. calireefer 03-12-2008, 2:55 PM Thanks Lee! I can't wait to give those guys a bigger tank this summer. calireefer 03-12-2008, 3:37 PM Thought I would get a couple pictures of my floating rock work. None of my main rock touches my sand bed. I used 1/2 pvc and a drill to suspend the rocks several inches off the bottom, creating overhangs and caves. This helps with circulation, keeps the sand bed free of detritus, allows me to use way less live rock (saves money for coral) and gives the fish a lot more swimming room. flyingarmy 03-12-2008, 4:15 PM Merlin..looking great! Really like the floating rock work! I need to stop by and check it out sometime! calireefer 03-12-2008, 5:06 PM Thanks Mark! Likewise I need to come over and see how yours is developing. From the last pictures I saw it looks incredible. Big D 03-12-2008, 9:18 PM Very nice setup Merlin... clean lines, kinda Cali style. :thumbs: Are those Sfiligoi pendants?... David Wineman 03-12-2008, 10:10 PM Merlin, The tank has really grown out since I saw it last Fall...Your sump and refugium are a nice addition. :thumbs: Dennis calireefer 03-12-2008, 10:18 PM Very nice setup Merlin... clean lines, kinda Cali style. :thumbs: Are those Sfiligoi pendants?... David Thanks David. I still have the caps I got from you too. Those are Giesemann pendants. Merlin calireefer 03-12-2008, 10:21 PM Thanks Dennis. reefknight 03-13-2008, 10:47 AM Looking good! That crocea wouldn't be one from Einstein's would it? I remember it was tugging at you the day I was there. I came back the following Wednesday, needless to say he is minus a clam from the Elos tank and also a acan colony. Man my checkbook needs a rest! I guess now I have to get pictures of my 90gal up,LOL. calireefer 03-13-2008, 3:39 PM Looking good! That crocea wouldn't be one from Einstein's would it?

FutureInterest 03-13-2008, 11:16 PM Very nice and very different. I love the mangroves growing right out of the display. That's awesome :). jade76 03-14-2008, 12:17 AM merlin thats a way sweet setup. It kinda breaks the mold of what the norm tank looks like and I like it alot! Sprayin70 03-15-2008, 4:38 AM Sweet setup bro! I love it. calireefer 03-22-2008, 11:54 PM Very nice and very different.

Wait till I upgrade to a 150g low iron brace less tank this summer. I plan on having the same open kind of setup but a couple feet longer and twice as wide. Sweet setup bro! I love it. Thanks Alan, and thanks again for the tank I couldn't be happier with the upgrade. calireefer 03-23-2008, 12:05 AM Some recent shots. I'm selling some of my corals to make the move easier and its made the tank look better than ever, in a less is more zen sort of way. calireefer 04-13-2008, 1:33 AM Trying to get a shot of my Armor of god zoas. Man I need an SLR! If you can't tell they are to the left of the rics and behind the pink zoas. Also much nicer in person. Big Brother Salt 04-22-2008, 11:05 PM one word.... SWEET mikeup6 05-01-2008, 12:20 PM I love the tank, especially the open arrangement of the rocks. I'm starting a 75 and plan on doing it that way. calireefer 05-03-2008, 1:25 AM Thanks! here's a couple recent shots. calireefer 09-11-2008, 4:33 PM Well my tank survived the move to New Orleans but I just lost everything to hurricane Gustav. I'll post pics when I rebuild after I buy a generator. Budsreef 09-11-2008, 5:31 PM Oh man, what a bummer! You had a beautiful tank too. Amberjack 09-12-2008, 9:40 AM Oh man, what a bummer!
