80 gal Rimless Build (32”x24”x24”)

[RedReefer]

Dropped the skimmer in. Fits really nice in the trigger sump. Nyos Quantum 160[emoji106]

Are they corrosion resistant? Given the environment, the fans need to withstand the saltwater/salt creep conditions. How are yours holding up?

No issues yet, they are mostly plastic with the exception of the grates and the motors. For less than $20 if they last a couple years i'm good with that.

Tagging along

 

[RedReefer]

I’m so busy at work I’ve barely had time to work on the tank. Soon it will see water!

I'll be following real closely. I am investigating my next tank, and am looking at the SCA 80 or 90 PNP. I am also considering skipping their PNP for the exact sump you have chosen. Looking forward to how this turns out.

 

[RedReefer]

Cleaning the RODI holding tanks and installing new filters.

 

[RedReefer]

Changing all filter media in my RODI system including the RO element.

 

[RedReefer]

Making zero ppm TDS, or real close to it.

[RedReefer]

Installed black acrylic 12 ATO reservoir behind my stand.

 

[RedReefer]

Added starboard under the new rock scape. Rock work is made up up larger pieces of macro rock.

 

[RedReefer]

Installed WP 60, probably end up switching to two mp10’s in the future. The WP 60 is very large!

 

[RedReefer]

Rinsing 80 lbs CaribSea Aragonite sand.

 

[RedReefer]

Probably going to have to rinse each 40 pound bag for 30 minutes to get it clean.

 

[RedReefer]

Had to remove the wp-60 it was just too strong once I filled the display with water. Going to go with two smaller wave makers, haven’t decided yet. Probably going to sell the wp-60

 

[RedReefer]

Got the system running, no leaks.

 

[RedReefer]

Tank’s still a little cloudy, but it’s looking good! Also installed leak section hooked to my alarm system. The two small white boxes mounted on the stand and ground. I plan on doing some wire/cord management sometime. All electronics are mounted on the rear exterior of the stand.

Your tanks looking great! I bought your previous tank from you back in December. Your old 57 is still going strong. I’m looking forward to seeing the progress on your new one.

Here is the current state of your old tank

What’s up P? Glad to see it going strong! That’s awesome! Going to let it cycle out slowly. Started everything dead, no live rock. Anyways pm me your number might snag a few frags off you after a while.
