72 gallon Bow Front Reef Aquarium

This is my saltwater reef tank its a 72 gallon bow front, I use a protein skimmer filtration system (is there any other? lol) and a calcium reactor which has been a pain to get working right, a 1200 gallons per hour water circulation pump, a 300 watt heater and a 1/5 hp Chiller to keep the water cool in the summer.

Lighting is 48″ CORALIFE Pro HQI Metal Halide/Compact Fluorescent with 4 LED Moonlights.

Currently I have 90 lbs of live rock, 1 Blue Hippo Tang (Dory), 1 Yellow Tang (Randy), 1 Kole Tang (Brownie), 2 False Percula Clown Fish (Marlin & Nemo), 1 Cleaner Wrasse (George) 1 Pacific cleaner shrimp (Delicious), 1 Blood Red Fire Shrimp (C0cktail Sauce), 1 Red Scooter Blenny (Dobby), 3 Goby Firefish (Larry, Curly & Moe) and two Pincushion Urchins.

My soft corals are a Green Bubble Coral, Green Closed Brain Coral, Frogspawn Coral, Purple Mushroom Coral, Orange Mushroom Polyp Corals aka Hairy Mushrooms, Colt Coral, an assortment of Polyp Corals and some Xenia Colony Corals,

Hard Corals are a couple of Capricornis corals and a Cats Paw coral.

So with 600 lbs of saltwater, 90 lbs of live rock and a stand which weighs around 100 lbs in all the entire tank weighs around 800 lbs.

I have to say that running a saltwater fish tank is a lot of work especially when youre doing a 10% to 20% water change every week but its so worth it once the eco system is running smoothly. It has taught me a lot about reef life and what it takes to keep them alive.

Owl City – The Salt Water Room (Adam Young) (With Lyrics)

http://danmanninja.blogspot.com/
This is the song “Saltwater Room” by the artist “Owl City” Also known as “Adam Young”

NOTE: I do not own this song, I do not own the rights to the song, it is just a song that I like, and I wish other people can hear it too, it’s a good song. Even though it is NOT mine. I did NOT write it. I did NOT play it. I did NOT record it. I just like it.

Hope You like it too :)

LYRICS: (NOTE: all the lyrics in ()s are the female parts)
I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that arent there anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt around my arms and began to shiver violently
Before you happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great sound
To my motion fatigue: farewell
With your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater caves
As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Chorus:
(Time together is just never quite enough)
When you and I are alone, Ive never felt so at home
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love?)
We need time, only time
(When were apart whatever are you thinking of?)
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
(So tell me darling, do you wish wed fall in love?)
All the time, all the time

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldnt let me sign on?
All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights
I guess Ill never know why sparrows love the snow
Well turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
(So tell me darling do you wish we’d fall in love)
(All the time)

Chorus:
(Time together is just never quite enough)
When you and I are alone, Ive never felt so at home
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love?)
We need time, only time
(When were apart whatever are you thinking of?)
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
(So tell me darling, do you wish wed fall in love?)
All the time, all the time

(Time together is just never quite enough)
(When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?)
(What will it take to make or break this hint of love?)
(So tell me darling do you wish we’d fall in love)
(All the time)
