dbartco February 4, 2010 Share February 4, 2010 So we started a new tank at Cedar Lane. The previous 33 gallon tank did not provide enough room with the center overflow, so we upgraded! We now have a 65 gallon tank. There was a bit of an issue getting the tank's canopy done, so I put off the installation until after the winter holiday. I will try to list the donors of the items as best I can. Tank: 65 gallon (Bamainva's old tank) Home Made Canopy to match stand Sump: (Davelin315) Circulation: Mag 9.5 return (Davelin315), 3/4 " Seaswirl, MJ1200 with Maximod, Lighting: 2 150W Metal Halide (OUsnakebyte) Inhabitants: Fish: Coral Beauty Angel, 3 Blue Chromis (previous tank), 2 Bangaii Cardinals, 2 Orange Ocellaris, Yellow Goby (zotzer), Six Line Wrasse, Inverts: 2 BTA Anemones, Skunk Cleaner Shrimp, 3 Peppermint Shrimp, Nassarius Snails (previous tank), Mexican Turbo Snails, Trochus snails, Corals: Green Trumpet Coral (Coral Hind), Green Sinularia (Coral Hind), Green zoanthids (Coral Hind), Purple fungia (cowrie) , Briarium(lhcorals), Green Star Polyps(lhcorals), Sarchophyton (flowerseller), Orange Zoanthids, Fox coral, Green Torch Coral, green pocillopora, Pictures: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L8 2 RISE February 5, 2010 Share February 5, 2010 (edited) Aww, that's cute, you put a pic of yourself on the canopy... next to the fish. I can give you some torches and maybe some other stuff if you want to swing by. EDIT: I forgot! I have a large rock of blue shrooms at school in the horse tank donated by wfoxfox. I'm just worried that with that many they'll sting the horses, so I cut some off and put them on the main column and pushed the rock to the side until I could figure out what to do with it. It also has a few aptaisia that I really don't want to spread into the tank- there's only 3 or so I think. If you want, lmk and I'll bring it home from school next time we actually have school, and you can pick it up with the torch.

dbartco February 5, 2010 Author Share February 5, 2010 Aww, that's cute, you put a pic of yourself on the canopy... next to the fish. The teacher did that so the kids would realize I wasn't some nut job child predator! I will definetly take some Sam and Wayne! Let me finish shoveling and we'll talk. The trumpets were put in there minutes before the pic. They were out today when i stopped by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind March 24, 2010 Share March 24, 2010 Amy, I'm glad the tank is working out and the kids are learning and enjoying from it. Doug, I have a few other corals to donate to the tank if you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbartco May 24, 2010 Author Share May 24, 2010 took a little vid of the tank last week. I havn't had a lot of time to help with the tank with the new kid at home. They are using non-RO water, so there is some cyano on the sandbed. I need more water changes and some phosphate removing media to rid some of that. ATO not working so well wither. We need a new maxijet for that, but otherwise things going steady and running pretty smoothly. Note the little anem in the corner. It was the other half of the BTA in the tank, but never has taken off. Looks bleached, but surviving fine. Stupid clowns have't found the anem yet! Also need one of those aiptasia zappers!
