Or the "Ghetto-reef" as my buddies have dubbed it 
. 45 gal tall (36"x24"x12"). Disclaimer: This only works do to a lack of fish lol, don't try this with your tangs/clowns/angels etc.
I started this tank as a pile of fresh live rock, a 150 watt HQI and three little powerheads, just to see what would grow off the rock. After half a year I started adding soft coral frags and recently added a fish and LPS corals. Been going for 13 months so far. I feed/top-up the tank with the water I thaw the frozen food for my preds in. Only problem is the plague of red flatworms that infest the tank, they don't damage anything, but look bad
An almost perfect ecosystem...ph 8.0, 0 nitrate. Macro-algae consumes nitrate, tapwater provides mineral supplements.[/QUOTE]
