Very nice, what kind of lighting are you using?

 

[reeferman1]

It's a hanging pendant fixture because of the hexagon shape of the tank. 250 watt Metal Halide with 10K double ended bulb. Plenty of light to reach deep into the tank. I'll post a pic of the whole tank tomorrow. Thanx.

Lighting set-up.

I really like it! :happy: Great looking set up. The fan is a great idea also.

 

[reeferman1]

Thanks bigarn! The fan keeps it a steady 80 degrees.

Awesome tank my fellow 60 hex reefer!
I will take some pics tonight and post. I like what you did with the rockwork, that was my biggest challenge in that tank!
Looks great, and congrats on a job well done :jumping:

 

[reeferman1]

Thanx! Yes, setting up the rock in this shape of a tank is tricky. Cool, send some pics! :jumping:

 

[ctgretzky9]

I keep saying i will take pics and post, then i always forget by the time i get home...i promise i will tonight! Look for my post tomorrow.
My tank isnt as nice as yours, but I'll post anyway so you can see another 60 hex. Yours was the first i ever saw pics of, and it looks great!

 

[reeferman1]

Thanx, again. I'm sorry, it's only a 30 ga. I need more room! I look forward to your pics!

 

[reeferman1]

Here's another pic of the overall tank.

 

[ctgretzky9]

Thats a great shot...actually my favorite of all your pics!
Dont be dissapointed! Mine isnt half as nice as that! I only have a few coral right now, but I am proud of my rockscaping
I will get pics tonight for sure.

Ok, here is my 60 gal hex I promised ya.
First is the in tank refug that I made. Outlet from canister blows right through it, but not a lot. It has 1 snail in there to keep detrius buildup down. The cheato is growing like mad, so I need to harvest some soon.
The second pic is the top of tank, showing where fuge hangs, the piping for canister, and the wet dry. Also is the 250 MH pendant, and you can see off to the right the small fan I use blowing across top to keep water at a steady 80 all summer.

Three pics of tank. I simply cannot take good pics...they arent very clear or representive. Coral are yellow polyps, various shrooms, green zoos, red sea fan, and galexia. You can see some of the white putty/epoxy, but it is quickly becoming covered with coraline.

 

[reeferman1]

Tank looks great! :jumping: With the MH lights that tank will blossom. How do you like your filtration set up?
P.S. I had a pink skunk clown jump out of the tank during the night. Don't know how he got out because I'm using a egg crate.
