so the end has come, tank was thriving and a few bone headed mistakes messed it all up. refilled the doser containers and forgot to reset the program, it didnt dose for a week and alk dropped to about 5... slowly brought it back up to around 9 range. changed 2 color bulbs, shocked everything, alk spiked and the rest is history. Work has consumed alot of the time required to maintain an SPS tank.

with all that sad stupid crap being said, i am breaking down my 100g tank. Live stock must go first, then equipment.

i may come back, but as of right now i am completely unsure. If i did another tank id like a deeper tank and possibly doing a nem and clown tank... wavy easy sh*t that doesnt freak out if the doser turns off for a few days.

ive had all these fish for over a year, some before my reef plague wiped out my tank the first time.

Hey Kyle is that a 36inch or 48 inch in length tank, what are the dimensions of the tank and what are those lights ???
tank is 48 x 20 x 24.... l x w x h, 100 gal, sca aquarium 3 sided starfire.

the light is an sls maristar that was retrofitted with 63 led lights, i believe its spoken for as of now... but there is a build on this light showing what went into it. it put out around 200 par on the sadbed at about 50%... haha

Nice looking tank. What are the dimensions?

all 3, 2 females and a 1 i believe... they havent killed each other so im assuming thats the case... haha
few ways to tell but the easiest, if from the mouth to the head area is all yellow female, if that area is slightly faded pink or bright pink male. If they are all females I'm interested in the 3 but if one is male or changing to male I can't I have 5 but one male and my dominant female turned male on me so now I have 2 males and 3 females. Both males fight here and there but nothing too serious but if I add another male I'm sure my two will probably kill em.
