I'm known as Triton on other SA forums but here I will be Tritonian aka Triton.
There is a Triton on here somewhere. So some of my photos will have water mark's displaying
Triton's 80G Shallow Patch Reef....unless of course Triton is willing to swop profiles :P
But it's cool :)
I recalculated my tank volume recently and it's closer to 415 Litres/ 100 Gallons.
This tank system is about 4 years old now. I've trimmed the corals plenty to create more space.
The scape is made up of four pieces Live rock. 3 Figi and 1 Kenyan.
The rest of the scape is just coral as it should be ;)
