In this profile we will see the growth of a
beautiful reef tank that was installed in Seaford, NY. |
 |
|
| |
It began with a cherry stained solid stand and
canopy made by Oceanic. The tank is a 72 gallon bow front,
pre-drilled with a standard overflow made by all-glass aquariums.
Inside the canopy are two 175 watt metal halides and 2 54 watt T5
actinics. The light fixture is made by coralvue. |

The sump was custom tailored by E.T.S.S. The tank
drains into a filter sock on the left. Water is pumped into the
protein skimmer and drains into the section on the right, that was
later turned into a refugium. A phosban reactor is hanging on
the left side of the sump. Water is returned back to the tank
via a mag 9.5. |

After the tank ran for a few weeks, fresh Tonga
live rock was added. |

Here is the tank just a few months old with fish
and corals thriving. |
