I love LPS. I like Pygmy Angels. They don't mix. My flameback has been going to town on a few of my LPS's in my big display tank. Since I can't catch him... I decided to move all of my LPS to a dedicated tank like I had with my Solana and continue there. This setup was EXPENSIVE. I don't know why exactly... but I did spend WAY more than I anticipated. My finance manger (wife) approved the purchases though and I got green lit.
Lighting - TEK Elite 4x24w or Oceanrevive LED
* - I'm going grey and aging by stressing over which lighting to use. In my past I have used LED (FATHOM) for lighting my LPS tanks with amazing success. The Fathom was fairly decent spectrum and had ok controls. The Ocean Revive seems promising and at 158 Bucks SHIPPED.. Its almost insane. I already have the TEK. If I decide that I don't like the Oceanrevive I plan to DIY a custom 6 Bulb T5 retro into a hood with some LED's.
Tank - Perfecto by Marineland Low Iron 60 Gallon Frameless & Rimless Cube. - Reef Ready. (I didn't even know they made this)
* - Low Iron isn't Starphire. I did not want a starphire tank and the only difference here is that this tank uses a higher quality glass with less imperfections which about eliminates the green tint from it. I didn't purposely order the tank like this.. Royal Pet Supplies (Distributor) by way of Tropiquarium (Sales Channel) did all this. They ordered it after the Deep Blue 60 Gallon I wanted suddenly became unavailable all over the country.
Stand - Marineland Oak Stand in Cherry.
* - It has a open back and sits significantly higher than normal. Its much better quality than the cheaper stands I have purchased in the past. Its no custom job but It seems very sturdy and I like the fit and finish. I wish the sump's didn't have to be slid in from behind but at least the opening is good enough for me to get in and work in there.
Sump - Custom TSUNAMI in White and Black
*- I purchased this from a guy down in Florida. It was shipped and arrived in abox that looked like it was purposely beat up. It lived though.
Skimmer - Bubble Magus Curve 5
* - Same guy down in Florida. The skimmer was less than 3 months old. It looks brand new.
Flow - Tunze Nano's (un controllable)
* - I will probably need to upgrade these to WP10's from Jebao for 50 Bucks Each. I don't think I'll need WP25's but I will have to see.
Rock - Display
*- Rock is coming out of my display tank after my recent crash and re-scaping.They will be drilled/built/epoxied to be 1 entire structure with no stacked pieces. I will be able to remove the entirety of my aquascape as a single structure with all attached corals on it.
Stocking List
Pair of Scotts Fairy Wrasses
Pair of Carpenter Fairy Wrasses
Pair of Hawaiian Flames
