Clippo's Mini-reef @ 3 months

[clippo]

I have added some more stuff, but there's still tons to go in. If you look closely, you can see my new pair of TMC perculas and the white sand star in the lower left front corner.

Oh yeah, I'm aiming to disguise that pump eventually - either with rocks going right to the surface, or with some sps. Hope you like the tank!

Cool tank what kind of lighting do you have?

Your tank looks so pristine. It reminds me of pictures I see of the wild reefs with their crystal clear blue waters. I think you should go for bright montipora, that would be amazing 8) . Keep up the good work :mrgreen:

thanks for all the comments! - hmmmm, interesting...I'll look into that montipora suggestion 8) ... and yeah, I spend lots of time cleaning it!

The lighting is kind of tricky to explain as I think what we have in the UK is slightly different to the US. Basically, the tubes are T5s, and they are bent double - like power compacts, with one four pin socket. The company over here calls them Compact T5s. I have never seen a Power Compact, so I'm not sure if they are the same.....anyways.....I have 2 55watt tubes. One is a 12k, the other is 50% 12k, 50% 7100k. I also have a normal 15watt pure actinic for dawn/dusk periods. Gives me about 5wpg total I think..... :wink:
