1K Reef.... Miracles custom 1000 gallon aquarium 120”x60”x30”

I did have a question about enclosed peninsula…. What do u guys think? Cement gray/black or white tile?

or keep the top open????

I like the look of all white. enclosed would be nice with regards to light spill. but with that much open water surface, you'll need to be very careful with moisture and heat control within that "canopy".

I still think if you can hang the light "array" a little lower, with center row pointing straight down (used wide angle secondary/attached lens), and the two side rows point toward center in a slight angle, you might be able to manage the light spill better, and give the room the airy space you initially looked for.

your tank reminds me a lot of this one, see how he uses the bracket to help keep everything level, yours could have a third row down the center.

Yeah I love that tank it’s insane the amount of light he is getting from AP700’s and only 6.

I guess 15 A500X’s is overkill lol.

I like the idea of the 15 degree tilt on the ends.

 

[748S911]

Pentair or aquauv?

 

[748S911]

Abyzz or deltec for flow? Thoughts?


leaning deltec for everything.

For flow the 2x abyzz afc150 is really nice, or 2 panta rhei 62’s ?

 

[748S911]

Leak testing today…



This aquarium is gorgeous, wow!

I have two jebao mdp 20000’s and two jebao wave pumps and this set up is moving tons of water.

I’m very happy my preliminary plumbing under tank was leak proof.

I’m in the process of building NSA rock scape now. Hopefully by next month I have everything set up.

Very nice

 

[748S911]

Just got this, but monitor is next to aquarium not outside…. Anyone know what side aquarium is at?

 

[748S911]

I’ve been reefing for over 20+ years and the dream tank has always been set up with deltec equipment.

20+ years later and they are still the best! Quality, performance, and affordability… Deltec after tons of research online and personal trials, I’ve come to the conclusion the best equipment that the reefing industry has to offer is in Deltec.

That being said, glue is here, deltec everything coming soon.

Deltec 750i Skimmer/Eflow pump
Deltec KMS8000 filter roller
Deltec Eflow 16’s x2
Deltec CRT10000

tank is 72, cuz you haven't put the heater in it yet....just let it soak in the temp from the room?

 

[748S911]

Getting framed right now, gonna make it to have option for canopy down the road if I decide to go
a different route, won’t be as clean but I will feel better with options.

 

[748S911]

On another note, I have 2 A500X’s that red channel is burned out or not working. Haven’t had time to address the issue with Kessil but does anyone know about this being an issue?

No idea. Kessil usually has great customer service

How are you doing the rock. It's a "new" take but many have been doing it for years but a NSA but actually making holes and caves for fish so that they have somewhere to actually hide and it lessens aggression if everyone has a "bed"

 

[748S911]

NSA low profile, I want full acro colonies to make up scape

 

[748S911]

I just got a new bengal kitten so I might make a ledge if he decides to take a dip for his escape route

 

[748S911]

Getting ready to do nsa low profile rock work with possible kitty ledge. If my new kitten decided he wanted to take a dip.

100 lbs marco.
80 lbs Carib sea life rock

Gonna mix it all in.

 

[748S911]

I think I’m leaning towards enclosing the tank, I’m really worried about my cat jumping in.

It looks amazing with open top, but this kitten is fearless and climbs and explores everything. Last thing I want is for him to jump in.

I sent a random comment last year that I loved the kitten picture and this year they replied he was available if I wanted him.

Fantastic. I had a male back in Singapore. Stunning breed. Not scared of anything or exploring
