54 Gal Bowed Corner

[joe_bui]

Cool site guys! The "Southern California Reefers" thread in RC is kinda uptight to me. So I have been finding myself coming here more...

Anyway, here's a few pics of my 54 gal corner:

Great looking tank. What kind of lights are you running on the corner bow?

[MarLooney]

your lighting looks far from natural but then again so do your corals. it's not natural to have corals that nice! HAHA :p great looking specimens you got in there. i love the acan colony. ever try to make frags yet?

[joe_bui]

Thanks for all the kind words...

I'm using URI VHO's: 2 x super actinics & 2 x white actinics. No MH's in the tank. The Acan colony is my prized coral. There is a long line of peeps who want me to frag it. It took me almost a year to bring it back to health. The previous owner had no idea what it was and kept it in his sump! I rescued it for $30. Anyway, hope to have more fun in this site than in RC.

I must warn you acanthastrea have been known to crawl out of your tank at nite and eat small childern.. It would be much safer with me.

I don't think it could handle my 2 month old daughter's slobber attack. It would dissolve the flesh right off the coralite.:D Chewing toys and plush stuffed animals have fallen by the way side to this devestating attack of hers.

Excellent looking tank there Joe. Welcome to the boards.

[REEFWAVE]

wow, that has to be one of the most beautiful tanks i have seen. and the fact that it is a corner bow only adds to that. very nice set-up and good choice on the lighting i use the same for my tank and you get some color out of those VHO's.
