I just wanted to share some pics of my recent tank upgrade. I have been on the sideline while working on this project that took me forever to finish. This tank has been running for just over a month.
Nothing's special about this tank - just something to share with everyone.
Tank: TruVu 60g (48"x15"x18")
Lighting: Hamilton 4 X 54w T5 retro with (2) Actinics and (2) 10K bulbs
Refugium Lighting: Hamilton 2 X 32w fixture with 10K bulbs
Skimmer: Octopus Recirc 110
Return Pump: Rio 1400
Heater: Jager 200w set at 79 degrees
Powerhead: (2) Koralia #4
Misc: Walmart canopy fan, DIY Durso pipe, DIY fuge/sump
Here are the pics:
I used my old 20g for the fuge...
and made a removable screen for it.
My DIY Durso pipe.
I used some of those 'puzzle' foam mats in between tank and stand instead of styrofoam. I also used these as lining inside the stand.
Here's what the sump looks like with everything installed.
My holding tank while I was working on the new one.
Before the upgrade - my 20g that I've had running since 1994.
And here it is now.
I'll update with some macro pics of zoas when the lens arrive. I have yet to post some pics of the trade I had with Marvin a long time ago. Sorry Marvin for I know my feedback is long overdue.
Anyhow, thanks for looking!
