Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my next chapter and the start of my upgrade and continuation in reef building.
Sadly my upgrade does not come because my reef has outgrown my display. But it has slowly filled in some over the years from the dry-rock I started with at least.
Here is some info on my current 90 gallon display that I will be transferring to the 120 gallon upgrade.
Current Fish Stock List:
- Clown fish pair
- Yellow Watchman Goby & Pistol Shrimp pair
- Randall's Watchman Goby & Pistol Shrimp pair
- Yellow Tang
- Royal Gramma
- 3 Yellow Striped Cardinal fish
Circulation:
Powerheads - 2 Ice-Cap 3k's on each top/end (1 on Ice-Cap emergency battery back-up supply)
Display Return - Sicce Syncra Silent 2.0
Refugium Return - MJ600
Sump: - remote through the wall into the garage stairwell closet.
Ecosystem Pro 36x12x18
- Reef Octopus 160INT with 1 neck extension
- 2 Eheim Jager Heaters (150w & 200w)
- Thin mesh filter socks just to grab anything big and not changed very often. Mostly to stop any splashing / spray from the drain pipe.
- ATO is gravity fed dosing Kalk as my primary supplementation.
- AWC is run by my Reef Angel computer and pumps currently at 1 gallon per day for the 90 gallon system.
75 gallon remote Refugium: - remote through the wall into the garage stairwell closet next to sump.
- deep sand bed with additional rock suspended above the sand bed on light-rack shelves and macro algae floating at surface above all that.
- Fuge Light - 1 ViparSpectre 300w dimmable LED
Display Lights:
- DIY Rapid LED - (2)24 inch heat sinks currently 3/4's full of chips. I'm planning to fill out the panels sometime during or just after the upgrade process. I've already purchased chips and just need to find the time to take down the lights & do some soldering work to re-wire and fill out the panels.
- LET Lighting HO Miro t5 Retrofit - Yet to be built. But was purchased to provide supplement fill to my LED panels. I am currently trying to figure out how to build them so they can be easily adjusted from the 90 gallon to the 120. They may just go directly to the 120 upgrade as front/back fill.
And coming up, a few pictures of the current state of things. I've already done some work by moving my ATO barrel out of my closet fully into the garage. In the upgrade process I'll be building a more organized and better spot for my ATO & AWC brute cans. So the closet/sump area and water barrels have already entered into the disarray of the upgrade. Right now I'm part way through wiring my NewSeaWater barrel's float switch to alert me when it's down to it's last few days of water. Then I'll wire the ATO for a similar low-level alert.
Anyway... on with a few photos.
