1200 Gallon Lagoon Build Thread

Oh wow. You could go swimming in that thing! What kind of fish are you planning to keep in it? A whale? Lol

LOL! Here are some of the fish that are currently in the tank. We plan to add a lot more in the future.

So, this is what my crack dealer looks like! Hey Frank! Can't wait to make the trip from California to visit you guys once this is all over! Its the carrot at the end of the stick.

You need to see it in person. Let us know so we can give you a tour.

Won’t the mangrove need a nutritional substrate to survive long term?

So far Julian Sprung has been successful in keeping mangroves long term. We are following his methods with this 9 year old mangrove that came from him.

Happy Easter everyone!

I've set this tank in person, the pictures don't do it justice. If you're ever in the area, it's a must see. Plus, the folks that work there are very nice!

We’d love to have you stop by!

Thank you. The flow is on the lower side compared to our other tanks. We have the returns from the main pump and 4 MP60s. We would like to add 2 more MP60s to increase the flow in the front of the tank.

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to see it in person. I have a question on your lighting. I followed the link to your 75gallon radion schedule to use on my similar setup. I installed the template and it was set to 100%. Is that really what you run on that 75?

I know they recently updated it. Some of the individual channels are set to 100%, but the overall setting for the fixture is set to 75%.

How often do you guys have to jump in there and prune back those corals? If I worked there I'd be volunteering to clean that thing everyday!!

I need to drive up again soon. I was absolutely blown away when I got to see this thing the first time. It's one of the coolest tanks around and is just insane to see in person. Keep it going, I love seeing the growth on this beauty!

I know what you mean. It’s easy to want to hop in there daily. There’s usually someone in there every week to service the tank. For checking on corals, adding frags or moving stuff around that’s every 2 weeks or so.

Beautiful! Lagoon tanks are my favorite to peek in to. Do you have any pics showing your canopy build, or can you explain how the Radions are secured to it?

You can see the canopy a little better in the photos above. The radions sit in cut out channels in the canopy. We can slide them around if we need to target a certain area in the tank.
