500 gallon through wall reef heaven

Sump in place in extension with 250 litre water change tank above

Dual skimmers?

 

[jim_fitz]

yeah think i went a slightly different route than most

neither are big enough for the volume allegedly though this isn't a principle i whole heartedly agree with
would rather they were rated for bio mass
so doubled up

so for two reasons really work commitment if one breaks the other continues
and to skim wet or dry i like the arguement for both so i can if i choose

100 lire ATU below the sump

 

[jim_fitz]

[jim_fitz]

first fill of water finally in
mixed initially in the water change tank at 250 litres at a time
as the rock was 180kg approx of 'real reef' rock

and half the lights on

That's a beautiful tank.

 

[jim_fitz]

That's a beautiful tank.

thank you

 

[jim_fitz]

not everybody's choice for first fish
but working on the size of the tank
and they would probably be the smallest tangs in the tank

anyway its worked out just fine

 

[Fudsey]

my wife's favourite fish

these now swim around together breaking the surface when the lights are going down
looks like a bonding practice though im not sure
will try to get a video of them

and just a small piece of calliendrum in the background
