Blackhawk Fan's Perfecto 30x30x24 reef

[Blackhawk Fan]

Perfecto 93G 30x30x24 tank
Coralvue 400w dimmable ballast
Two modded Tunze 6045's
3/4" Seaswirl
Octo XP2000
Panworld 200ps return from basement
100g Rubbermaid sump
DSB in a bucket with chaeto in it

Tank is plumbed into a 65g tank with my old clown grouper.

I drilled the tank for the return and siliconed the overflow box on.
I chippped the hole a little bit, but not bad for my first time.
Pics were taken with my phone and aren't the best....




Painted the back black.


I bleached all my live rock and am now in the process of drying it out. I will be plumbing this into the 65 so there won't be a cycle. I will be monitoring it closely though once it's running.




Spent two days making a stand and painting it black. Here it as after I finished painting it.... Camera phone pic, so it's a little blurry.


Got the tank on the stand and scaped it. The stand is 30x30x39. The tank is almost eye level. I love the stand this tall.




I usually go bare bottom but decided to try a bag of aragalive bimini pink sand.


more to come...

[ReeferRob]

Mike wheres the picture of the evil laughing favia? I love that one!

I was hoping you could better explain the difference between the Mia's Pot of Gold and the Baby Breathe. Also the diff of the Pandora and the Vivid Dragon?

[schminksbro]

Nice corals! Are you sure your not a Redwings fan?

Thanks MizTanks!


Andy I'm a huge Wings fan, when they lose.

Rob,
In my tank the pandora's has pink centers with with a aqua rim around the head. The dragon's breath has peach and pink centers with green around the head. The mia's has yellow,green,orange, and pink centers with greenish/blue rim around the head. The baby's breath is supposed to have pink and orange centers and the rim is similiar to the mia's.

I'm starting to think I have two pot of gold's and no baby's breath. lol
