72x30x18 DIY build thread

Fine whatever guess im not good enough.

Lol... Not true.

 

[Red_Beard]

Heck yeah, tank is looking awesome!
I love the idea of adding a plating monty to one of those mag frag mounts, sweet idea for a shelf!

Very close to ordering a Chaoti wrasse.

Recommendation is feed prazi pro soaked mysis for the first couple weeks. Any additional thoughts on me doing this with my full mixed reef?

Chat gpt recommended adding carbon to remove any medicine after the fact. which i already run. I guess I should strain the soaked food.

I think all my other fish should be fine? and probably benefit from eating

Sitting here in my car waiting for my daughter to get done and come outside. Figured I welcome some newbies.

I got tropic marine K + A in dosers now was hoping for a randy pull through on a recipe.

Sent in a new ICP to see whats up and tested the tank. Phosphate test today I dont believe because in my tired state I cleaned glass and fed at the same time right before sampling... haha

This set up with maybe a little frag system under the overhand portion :) Volume wise getting roughly 80 more gallons already which is nice.

Then maybe we get a clown tang for my last fish

Man even with the reactor in my last chamber it clogs quick probably weekly

The tank design does not fit assembled into the house.

The only way is to build. Need to decide glass or acrylic, thickness, euro bracing or not.

Welcoming all thoughts and ideas

 

[Stang67]

Yes

 

[Nate Chalk]

Yes

Good thoughts

 

[That Crusso Kid]

Yes

I support this answer 100%.

could some construction resolve this issue? Or is that out of the question?

 

[Red_Beard]

I would give you the same advice President Reagan gave to Gorbachev "tear down this wall" or pop a window out maybe. Siding and stucco aren't too bad to repair. OOOR maybe have it built in place...

My wife did say what if we tear down the wall. Lol

Which would be a pretty wasteful endeavor

It would. To tear out a wall just to rebuild it the same.
If you have a back door though, it would be a good opportunity to remove it and upgrade to a sliding glass door, one with the louvers built in or even a fancy french door or if your climate allows, a removable wall to turn the whole area into a sun room

It's more of an issue of doorway from a living room into a hallway 90 degree turn.

I think it's a build in place sorta deal. With the weight.

Also considering a closed loop manifold system to feed uv, reactor, an extra tank.

Probs a varios 6.

Hmmm instead of 4 scicee pumps taking up outlets and space
