Mavjoy's 57 Rimless Tank

Mavjoy · Feb 8, 2010

Got a small frag of a prism favia last week and some shots of the tank

Haven't added anything new, besides the favia, since the transfer, but I'm itching for something new..hehe.

I'm looking at upgrading to this tank and i have a few questions. Do you think an 8x39w ATI ficture would be to big? I believe it is 17.5" across, what is the depth of this tank? What are you lighting it with now?

Is the ATI fixture 36" or 48"? The 6x39 36" would be perfect for this tank IMO. I'm running a 24" outer orbit with 250hqi and 4 T5s. The measurements are 36″ x 18″ x 21″. The Tek lights is another good option too.

The 8x39 and 6x39 are both 36"
but the 8x39 is 17.5" deep and im not sure if that would be to big....

The 8x39 should be good and just hang it higher and can use it for future upgrade.

I'm thinking of upgrading to a 36" Tek lights 6x39. My 24" outer orbit is nice with the halides and all, but it's a bit dim on some parts of the tank. Should I just wait 'til later when LEDs are a little bit cheaper?

I added some chaeto last night with led lights. Here is a pic:

Thanks Joezreef.

Got a MP10 last night and got it installed today. I really like the small footprint and soo quiet. It really goes well with my Mp40w. Here are some pics:

I don't see any sandstorms..yet...hehe.
