I wanted to show this tank that I started building this week, is a 250g Reef that will be SPS Dominant, all equipment is already bought and I just Siliconed the glass together last night, I still need to do the inner seams and the Eurobrace, everything is being siliconed by the direct injection method (I’ll post a video Soon) sump is already here, big thanks to Rick and Vanessa Lowe from Synergy Reef who built it, it’s just perfect!
Let me introduce the tank itself, I’ll be posting pics and videos for the whole setup, I’ll post the first pictures today and will keep posting as soon as I get things done. Salt will be Red Sea Coral Pro until I finish the cicle (4 months) and by then I’ll switch to Tropic Marine Pro Reef Salt.
250g Tank
85” by 26” by 30” Eurobraced Top and Bottom 3/4 glass. Front and Sides Starphire Glass.
Synergy Reef Systems CL-60 sump with 4” socks.
Stand is made of 2” by 2” steel
Rock is provided by Marco Rocks (240 pounds) because I believe that we don’t need to take it from our oceans and we have to support everyone watching out for our natural reefs, besides it’s really porous and with great shapes, not to mention it comes clean from the process Marco Rocks gave them.
Equipment List:
4 Ecotech Marine Radion XR-30 PRO with RMS arms, rail and slides.
Vectra L2 Return Pump
Vectra M1 to the manifold to run reactors
4 Ecotech Marine Vortech MP-40QD
4 Ecotech Backup Batteries
1 Reeflink
Apex Gold with:
Salinity Probe
Ph Probe
ORP Probe
Temp Probe (Thomas Traceable Long Steam Thermometer for calibration)
2 DOS DDR packages
Autofeder
2 Finnex 500w Titanium Heaters
2 EB8
iPad mini for display
1 Reef Octopus Regal 250INT Skimmer
1 Kessil H380 Halo II for chaeto growing in fuge.
1 Avast Marine MR2 Reactor (Rowaphos)
1 Two Little Fishies reactor with Activated Carbon
1 Reef Octopus VarioS CR200 Calcium Reactor (Not to be installed in the first year)
Dosing Triton Method Core 7 as soon as it is required.
I think I’m not missing anything, I really hope you like this build and please don’t hesitate to ask any questions, I’m here to help.
See you all soon!
Keep Reefing
