Rimless Braceless SPS Reef Tank

My new rimless reef tank, cabinet was made by Nick at Aquarium Cabinet Solutions in the UK, tank by Oceanlife aquatics, it's 40 l x 20 h x 24 d. front and one side panels are optiwhite starfire low iron glass

I am running a GHL Profilux 3 controller, using a 3 channel bailing pump, running Fauna Marin bailing Lite with additives.

Tank is also running on Zeovit, it has a Bubble Magus NAC6 skimmer, a Bubble Magus Zeo reactor, Tunze Silence return pump and an ATI Sunpower 6 x39w T5 lighting system, Vortech MP40W and a Vortech MP20

Bulbs are 3x blue plus and 3 x blue special, i might change one of these to a KZ Fiji special.

Fish in tank:
2 x Fire clowns
1 x Firefish
1 x Pink spot Blennie
3 x Chomis
1 x Yellow tank
1 x Spotted Bristletooth Tang
1 x Anthias

Not many corals in the tank at the moment, i do have a few frags, a nice acro colony and the big softie from my old tank, just to keep the mother clown happy.

I do a better video soon, so you can see the sump and control cabinet

Sorry the glass was pretty dirty, the mother clown had just flicked her tail and soacked the front panel!!

Also, none of the frags have been put in there correct places yet.

HI I love the tank may I ask how much did it cost and how many US gallons is it?

[nsr500rossi]

Tank £550

Cabinet £500

100 UK gallons including sump

[nsr500rossi]

Growth was slow, i think due to high nitrates, i have just removed all fish and am restarting the tank from new, blue plus will give great growth mixed with the special tubes

[nsr500rossi]

Yes mate, 3 blue plus and 3 blue special

[nsr500rossi]

She/he is a bristletooth tang, when I first put her (she is my lat fish) the yellow tang went berserk, lasted 10 horrible hours, thought she would kill it, thankfully, she settled down.. All fine now

She still is not eating nori or frozen, well tonight she became a little more interested.. Fingers crossed
