225 gallon Lee-mar upgrade (in progress)

[iani]

No complaints so far. I did do some upgrades to it but it would have been fine with out them. Main thing I did was add some fans to the top of the fixture. The spread is really nice on the fixture. I also suggest if you do upgrade to get a custom color. The plain grey isn't the nicest color. I had mine painted white w/ silver pearls.

Hey ian did u upgrade your skimmer? and are u going to still run a fuge under the tank similar to ur old reef setup.

 

[iani]

Skimmer is a vertex alpha kone 300 with a swabbie self cleaning head. I just ordered an extra tall skimmate locker from AVAST Marine. My skimmer will be as automated as it can be. I also ordered an extra tall (+14") mr5 reactor to run bio pellets. I am planning on running the ecobak pellets, so I may not need a fuge.

The male pylei is looking really nice. It still has pretty much the same colors.

Skin almost done for the stand. I still need to have 2 doors hung on the skin. It should be done with in a couple weeks.

The skin is made out of quartersawn Maple with an aluminum trim.

[iani]

Thanks Hungriee, Greg who built the skin does great work. Here it is all finished.

[iani]

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way the stand turned out.

Cut the danm hanging wire, the tank looks amazing then you have the wire just hanging there.

 

[iani]

Hahaha, or I can put that wire in the back where you cannot see it.
