34 gallon shallow reef

[goldhead]

The tank has been running for two months now and its now time to ad some fish and coral. I purchased the tank at The Reef tropical in Anaheim - had to be custom made by Visio as I wanted abnormal specs 36x 18x 12
I currently have a T5 6 bulb fixture on a timer.
petco powerhead for flow rated 40-60 gph.
A CPR Large Refugium -the pump was emiting a bzzzz vibration throughout the tank but a little mod took care of that problem -lit by an LED fugelight2
I'm going to house softys in this tank - the only skeletal coral creatures would be a hammer coral and a frogspawn that I might house in some time.
I started out with dry rock from marcorocks.com "fast shipping and great service"
I'll bring u updates when I get more coral.

Your rockwork looks very clean, like the spread out, island look.

Love that Tailspot blenny

Thank you guys for the kind words. Yes, the tail spot blenny is very cool. He chills with the gobys in their den all the time. Its a change from the usual bicolor blenny.

I like those dimens. Nice looking tank.

Hey, I used to go to the Reef and noticed all the tanks. How was the pricing like on their tanks?

I know they have fairly good deals sometimes on fish, great deals on their whole coral colonies, but I never bothered to ask about their tank pricings.

Also:

Has the diatom explosion effed up your sand yet? It looks gorgeous still :a21:

I purchased Caribsea live sand so did not go through a diatom phase. Great price on tanks, definitely check them out if you're in need of one. As for the corals ehhhh- the corals are either dieying or getting there. They switched over to some low dimed LEDs and it all went down hill. They should've kept the T5s runing.

Some updated photos. Slowly I've been adding coral to my tank. The tank is coming along well.

Nice setup you got going on.
