The Carpet anemone I purchased a few weeks ago turned out to be too big for my tank and ate one of my fish and killed another so it had to go. I put it for sale on reef central and got an interesting offer from Dave "
Dog boy Dave"
He offer me a trade for the anemone, he said if I would drive the anemone up to Tallahassee in a cooler he would fill the cooler with SPS frags. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to make the 12 hour trip but after seeing pictures of his tank I decided to make the trip. Long story short I left yesterday at 4am and got back home at 8pm. His tank was even more amazing in person than in the pictures I saw. I took a few shots of the back side of the tank (forgot to take pictures of the front side, too busy picking out corals
)
Some info on his tank and equipment.
Display tank: 60"Lx48"Wx26"H Drilled for a closed loop.
Lighting: 4x blue & white diy led fixtures and 4x Full spectrum Evergrow D120 (he has been running the LED's for about 6 months, he previously had MH)
Dosing: Calcium Reactor
Filtration: Skimmer (don't remember the brand) and a DSB. The main tank is plumbed to a large shallow tank in the garage where the DSB is. I believe the tank measures 8 or 10 feet long by 4 feet wide. A portion of that tank is where the DBS is located.
I was amazed at how he has been able to maintain this tank which such minimal equipment and dosing. Truly amazing.
I came back with 22 frags and I will post some pictures later.
