13.5 Evo Tank Build - Desk Tank

[Scottayy]

@Scottayy sticks as in SPS like Acros and millies

Got it, thanks.

You guys builds are super nice and I can't help to be a little bit envious.

Hope mine can get there some day.

I'm ready to add more coral but they're so expensive. I gotta justify it with the wife, lol. The ai prime, lid, and 2 coral I just got was $500.

Still need an ato and rodi system (weekly trips to the LFS getting old already).

Slow and steady I guess.

Maybe i can find some local reefers or tank breakdowns.

@GHOSTLY - TOO long now, since 1984!

Almost 40 years wow! Lots of experience. Did you use t5 or halide back in the day

 

[ForTheLoveOfCoral21]

Very similar here, but flow probably not so good--how high do you have the flow in your powerhead? Do you have it pointed against return flow or same direction? Thanks!

SAme direction on the back wall

I'm so lucky I got to start with radion and kessil leds. Got my radion for cheap too! 2 arms, 1 radion xr30, and accessories for 190

i loved the MH days, but didn’t love the electric bill!
I have to say, I have had and still have large reef tanks but this evo is my favorite

I plan on turning my evo into a macro algae tank and turning my new tank into an sps tank. I will however need to stack the rock so ill figure that out soon

RO Buddie is great. I use as well. I fill up a 50g drum and it lasts almost 3 months.

thank you for sharing !!

 

[Just a Wrasse.]

I am liking my so far.

Nice!

 

[tpirovol]

hey where did you get the floating rock from, I love it!

Also since it sits on your desk next to your monitor do you turn down the blue during your work day? I have the exact same setup but a IM Pro 10. Read that blue's can harm your eyes.

@tpirovol - i got them from @Aquarocks !

I do not, as my one monitor on the right is out enough where it blocks the light from hitting my eyes.
