Mines been running for bout 6 years now Ill get a vid up sometime, look into some better lighting corals need light like we need food so feed them! I hope im missunderstanding that if not go the the lfs you bought your setup from drag the moron out of the store and lay a beating on him that he will never forget but if its a money thing sorry the hobby is not cheap do research and know your stuff it will save you alot of money! if u have any questions just ask:)
Thanks for the comments. I've actually kicked this tank. I'm running a 120 gallon overflow now with sump system. Believe me, I understand the cost, invested about $10K into this tank. I'll post a video soon.
84 watts of light in this tank. really? How do you expect anything to live. Just my opinion way under lit and it doesnt look like to much current in there. Take that canister filter and throw it in the trash all it's its good for is a nitrite trap The tank looks fairly new is it?
Nice tank. I just bought a used (empty) 44 gal. same as yours. What are u running for filtration? Any advice? Not new to fresh h20 tanks but saltwater is a whole new ball game.
I use a Fluval 201 canister. Big this with saltwater is the live rock. If you are going with a live rock tank you really want the rocks to be the main filtration. I also have a hang on the back protein skimmer. I don't think you need a sump system for a 44 gallon as long as you stay on top of water changes, skimmer helps too.
Hello again. Me with the 44 corner tank. Im looking to add lights but because of the diff. shape of this tank Im puzzled on how to mount them~ how did you do yours? Also do you have a glass canopy. When you feed your critters do you have to remove everything? Thanks!!
I have a glass canopy and I rest the two lights on top of that. There is an opening in the canopy that allows me to drop in flake food, but to feed frozen I take the lights down.
