Fish finder 325 Gallon Peninsula Build

[Fishfinder]

Love the pics especially the chalice and clam. Crazy how much par those t5 can put out. Which bulbs did you end up going with? I finally got my sunblaster fixture in and I'm pretty impress. Can't wait to see how they do over the tank though.

I'm running 2 blue+ and 1 coral+. It's amazing how much PAR they put out for just a couple bulbs mounted so high.

Thanks. Still deciding on what 4 I want to run with my halides. Thinking blue+ since they put out the most par. Of course I bought that rlss r8i skimmer and found a guy in Palm Bay selling a sro 3000 for $100 so I went ahead and bought a back up or if this one doesn't do a good enough job.

I would personally go with blue+ since the halides will be pretty white. Any actinic led strips ?

No leds. Just old school halides and t5. I loved my 30g cube with 20k radium and found those sunblaster for actinic. I'm going to have a 40g breeder next to it for a frag tank I'll have a led on top of it.

@litenyaup
Hey are you guys dosing? Which pump and brand alk and Ca are you using?

 

[Fishfinder]

Ya I'm dosing. You have to, no way you couldn't. Really considering a CaRx soon. Right now I'm over 400ml total product every day. Using aquaforest stuff and a coral box doser. I love the aquaforest product, the doser I wouldn't recommend.

 

[litenyaup]

I will be dosing yes. And more than likely after a couple years I’ll be adding adding a reactor as well as dosing alone would not be able to keep up.

Starting to regret this these montis.. this one is beautiful but growing too fast and getting very close to acros

 

[Fishfinder]

This one, rainbow, and mystic sunset are all becoming problems

 

[DSC reef]

The mystic sunset was a problem in our tank too.

 

[Fishfinder]

It's pretty but it's in a bad spot for how fast it grows. And there's no way to successfully remove it from the rock

 

[DSC reef]

Ended up getting rid of the entire rock we had, over 12" long. That's when I decided to just let it grow on the glass so I can frag it easy.

 

[BZOFIQ]

WOW, That is one nicely build tank. How thick is the glass on this beast?

 

[Fishfinder]

It's 3/4" with eurobrace, the corners look thick because there is corner bracing in the all corners to add strength and protect the silicone from chipping

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

I'm hoping to have that problem. Lol I'm going to stick monti on the bottom and let it grow on the starboard. Or on there own island.

 

[bubbaque]

I regret my monti immensely. I shared that pic where it's killing my bubblegum digi. I don't have a way to kill it either.

Ya I saw your pic, I'm having that problem x3 different montis. One is starting to cover a clam

Use some epoxy ( Colored kind preferably )
And somewhere it all over it
