BlueRiverReefs “The Hundo” 100g shallow reef

What up reef2reefers!

Time to document the build of my new reef.

Tank is 48”x30”x16” made by Crystal Dynamics.

Picked this bad boy up second hand from a local reefer!

Little prep work.

Sump and ato made by Advanced Acrylics.


Happy with how the sump plumbing turned out. Emergency was only temporarily plumbed until I could pick up more fittings to run it the way I want it.

 

[JustAnotherNanoTank]

Coming together.

id connect the leggs at the bottom from side to side.
If its a 100g your looking at 1000 pounds of glass rock and water setting there

Check out the picture just above your comment. Did that before filling her up! Thank you though!

The big a** 60 pound pukani rock that I bought and hoped would fit. It was too tall! ;Dead

I saw that after i posted, but in the corners on the front there appears to be a hole where the new board meets the legs?

Plumbing came out great for my first tank with a sump. Can’t complain.

Emergency is only piped temporarily until I get more fittings to do what I want.

Yes I have the board elevated off the ground on both sides. It’s only to prevent the legs from bowing in or out. I didn’t want moisture to trap there over time. Only the main support legs are treated for moisture.

Sand. Nuff said.

I was seeing the space between the front bare board and the white one running next to the ato reservoir.

Ohh got it! That white 2x4 is just setting on the ground. To the left I added a2x4 where my plumbing attaches to. I may use that spare board for electrical so I left it laying there. Otherwise it won’t be there.

wow

 

[Kodski]

Wow that pukani rock is massive!

How do you like working with a 30" wide tank that's up against the wall? Do you find it difficult at all? Looking at making a custom tank 60"x30"x18".

 

[MERKEY]

Oh ya get that thing filled up!!!

 

[FlexingFishSticks]

that’s a nice tank! Can’t wait to see how it turns out
