My 150 Reef Tank

[cali_reef]

I know I promised someone to post a picture of my tank, a little late but here is a recent shot of my 150 gallon reef tank

Nice...I want this, and I want that,. and I want those.....and "I need this"...

Just one pic?
Does it have a filter, I can't see it....

d.

 

[cali_reef]

I have a room full of filters.. :lol:

Will have post those some other time

 

[delv]

I like the MRC tag....

I don't believe the filter 'thing'...I prefer to think it's an amalgam of ZeoVit (Patents Pending) and Miracle mud (Marc Wiess brand Funky Ole' Reef Mud...also Patents pending)...I will believe...

delv,
The picture was taken with the two 250W XM SE 10,000k driven by PFO HQI ballast, supplimented with two URI Super Actinic 03 (one 110W and one 95W). I only resized the picture for posting, no color enhancing or correction made.

I want everyone to know about my MRC experiance. :lol:

LOL MRC Tank looks awesome Pierce

 

[jhale]

you have to clarify the Mrc tag, some might think the sucking is good in a skimmer

those tangs make your tank look small they must be large.

nice looking tank by the way.

 

[cali_reef]

Thanks for the compliments.

The MRC thing can go both ways, they do skim well if you have a good pump, however, the craftsmanship sucks, the material used are inferior, the design is not well thought out, and the people (two I have dealt with) are liars.

Someone ask Pierce to count how many fishes he has in that 150 :lol:

 

[nanoreefer22]

Pierce, Could you count how many fish you got in there?? Great looking tank, how wide is it from front to back? Looks pretty far.

Kris,

I think I have like ten fish in that tank, they swim around too dam fast to count :lol:.

The tank dimensions are 48"Long X 30"Wide X 24" Tall.

 

[pecan2phat]

Ten fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last time I counted, it was like 32.......................................!!!!!

 

[samksy]

I say there's at least 20 + fishes, i was shocked the number of fishes in the tank. but not after realizing Pierce have 1000+ gallon sump.
An awsome tank!!! definetly worth a check.

I like that size tank, the depth is great.
how long has it been set up?

 

[pecan2phat]

I would say about Jan. of '05.

His SPS grows like crazy, and he can't scrape the coralline off fast enough!

It's great living in the same town, I just show up with my hands out when it's trim time! :

Pecan is right, the tank was moved in its current spot around Feb. this year. The contents and rocks had been with me for a bit longer, some very long. I had the PBT for about 5 years now and some coral (frags of) I had for longer.

 

[jhale]

when's the next "trimming" time?

 

[cali_reef]

I'll be trimming for the frag swap..

Pierce, Your tank looks incredible. I like your soho is he aggresive towards other fish in the tank. I thought you had no frags to trade, You have quite a selection .

 

[ctxmonitor]

yea is a very nice poplulated tank. You have quite a selection of sps in there. I think we demand more pictures of your tank. Sps, fishes, tank, etc.. We need more...
