I have been in the hobby for more than a year, decide to upgrade my 20 rimless to 65G tank.
DIY tank stand + sum 20L from petco
Add on some triming
I did not want to drill hole on my ceiling or wall because it would be set in a new house, so I found on rack which look something like this. Only found some hanger like the pic in Europe website. I decided to build one my one from 3/4 electric conduit and use a bender to bend it 90degree
Painted it in black later on. It can support more weight than I expected, around 40lbs
DIY sump, using a plant growing light (changed to H380 later), dual fan for some air circulation.
———————
Tank acrylic 1” thick, from Advancedacrylic. With black panel.
Plumbing- 2 return line, 1 emergency drain, Bean Animal overflow.
Moving into the new house
Skimmer: Bubble magus curve 5
Light: hybrid aquaticlife T5 + Radion XR15
Flow: 2 Maxspect XF250 due to the tank thickness I had to use this one ( abit overkill 5300gph/ea)
————————————
Cycling for 6 weeks with Dr.Tim amomia and Bacteria
I dont want any pest so stick with BRS dry rock.
Also added pods and chaeto to the fuge during the cycle.
—————————
Livestock: Davinci Clown from Vossen Aquatic and BTA from many seller on reef2reef.
Nitrate and phosphate are being control at a low level, and keep it as stable as I can.
Will get more update with pic later. Last pic was taken with T5 and radion both on. No filter needed.
