as promised i posted some pictures of my tank but took ages to down load the pictures so here is my tank spec aquamedic percula 120 bow front tank in silver the tank has been running now for exactly 2 weeks everthing was transfered from my old tank(i really do like the bow front tank) i have 3 closed loop systems on the tank the front one ond the bottom back one is powered by the standard am 2000 power heads that came with the tank the top closed loop at the back of the tank is powered by a new wave 3000 pump the return pump another am 2000 powerhead has a t piece on the outlet into the tank to divert the water flow left and right along the back of the tank there is no gravel/sand in this tank gone for the bare bottom look but hopefully buy a few more pollips to cover the base of the tank the halide is an aquamedic starlight future 2x150w with 13000k bulbs the light unit is not the standard aquastarlight that should come with the tank because at the time of delivery aquamedic didnt have any in stock so they sent a starlight future instead which i was told should be another £300 but the price would still be the same(so thats my bargain) the rest of the tank is standard im running a 30uv powered by a 1500 power head which is in the recirculation chamber (right side of tank) the outlet of the uv falls over some filter floss which sits on top of the bio ball chamber the heater is a 300w hydor the new unbreakable ones i think thats about it
the stock is as follows
a pair of wild perc clowns (one of the pictures shows guarding the anemone)
3 purple fire fish
3 banggai cardinals
kole tang
regal tang
flame angel
pink spotted gobie
red star fish
blue star fish
2 sand sifting star fish 2 cleaner shrimps
loads of soft coals
massive elephants ear
only 4 hard corals consisting of a cornet euphilia,a gonipora,yellow sun coral, and a pinky/red sun coral
2 turbo snails(but i need more)
dwarf hermits (lots of)
I think thats all (just looking at the tank now, tv is second rate viewing in the room now) :lol:

Hi Scar
Your tank looks amazing m8 the colours are stunning for a soft coral set up some very nice pics there keep up the hard work mate :thumbsup:
cheers Jamie
hi jamie
thanks for your kind words its always hard too find soft corals that look different and in different colours ive not been able to buy any more corals because the ones that are for sale are what ive already got
:thanx:
scar
new addition to the tank at the weekend in the shop it was labeled up as an exquisite wrasse but to me it looks more like a scotts fairy wrasse what do you think it is its not really a good picture always on the move but the green is a lot more intense when looking at the fish
:thanx:
scar
its been along time since i took some photos
so here goes
great tank, I didnt think copperbands was reef safe
the copper band has behaved upto now hes only been in since friday hes been pecking at the rocks alot maybe eating all the little tube worms but he hasn't bothered with my 2 coco worms
And you were going to sell this, sacrilege :lol: :lol:
What a bumper Tank
Good Going Scar
Del
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
hi del
yes i was going to sell it all, i had deals in place for most things but when it came down to the crunch i didn't have the heart to do it i bottled it a few of the fish ive had along time i know it sounds daft but i got to attatched to them more so the clowns in the hope they will lay eggs again :) so in the mean time im after a ritteri anemone for them but thats another story they won't go in anything else
:cheers: nick
excellent tank, must have good taste ;)
How's the scotts fairy wrasse coming along, any other pics of him?
regards,
greg
hi greg
eric is now the proud owner of the wrasse
cheers mate,
How come? I was looking at getting something similiar, is he not reef friendly?
regards,
greg
Would you recommend this tank as I have been looking at this one. The only thing I'm not sure about is that it has no sump but instead the unit on the back housing skimmer etc. I would like to see one setup somewhere but haven't found anywhere local that even sells them !
Where are you based lasbrisas? There are plenty of Perc owners around (inc myself). I'd defo recommend the tank.
regards,
greg
hi greg
the wrasse was reef safe never touched a thing the trouble was he was always in your face if you know what i mean i used to put food in and the wrasse would just eat and eat the other fish hardly got a look in he used to fly around the tank which also unsettled other fish
hth
nick
hi lasbrisas
just tell us where you live as greg said there is plenty of us on here up and down the country we can point you to your nearest stockist
hth
nick :thumbsup:
Thanks guys ! I am in Camberley Surrey, haven't been able to find anyone yet and would rather see one before parting with some serious money !
Hi Nick. The fairy wrasse is fine he swims all over the tank with my other 2 wrasses a leopard and a neon. As you say he's a greedy sod eats anything you put in the tank he even eats algae sheet. The wrasse are a fasinating fish when its a certain time they go to bed and at a certain time in the morning they get up. They dive into the sand and there gone until the morning. Regards Eric

not incredibly close but as no-one else has mentioned closer, my lfs canterbury koi and aquatics in errr canterbury has a perc 120 set up to look at, next to a perc 90 if you're ever in the area.
scar, seriously good work there fella. all those corals, do you add anything??? what are your params like i.e ca, kh and mg. didn't see you list a stirrer etc etc etc.
hi scoob
thanks for your kind words all i add to the tank is tmc iodine 2 drops every day its the lugol type and i add 2x10ml of calcium the red sea brand that is all apart from a 6gallon water change every week again using red sea salt to be honest i dont even know what my levels or parameters are everything looks fine so i just leave alone ill probably get shot down for doing this :lol:
:cheers: nick
THIS TANK IS NOW UP FOR SALE
pictures on here for people to look at
