My new tank

[Just Clownin Around]

well i could not resist having a tank in the garage/fish room. so here i am starting over.

here it is being filled for the first time.


its a custom acrylic tank made by nextreef. its great and dangerous having them so close by.


tank dimensions are 70l*15w*12h
i had custom frag racks made up that hold 60 frags each.



lighting is going to be 3 ai sol blues

 

[Just Clownin Around]

this will be a sps dominated tank..
i am aiming for 70-100x turn over. Will adjust to how corals respond of course. i will also be dosing this tank with two part. i had great success with b-ionic so that is what i will be sticking with. any questions please dont hesitate to ask

Nice start. You should have a lot of room for SPS corals to grow out in that thing.

I would add some more cross bracing to the stand though. From the pictures it looks as though one good shove from either end and the whole thing could collapse. Maybe I am missing something, just would hate to have something like that happen.

 

[Just Clownin Around]

Its actually shot into the wall and tapconed into the floor. I think the garage will fall before the tank does

 

[cmaxwell39]

Ok good. Couldn't tell that from the picture. I just know it would stink to have a stand collapse once this thing is up and running.

Looking forward to watching it come together.

I would definetly add some bracing to connect the legs to each other. Some 2x4s on the floor to connect the legs....can never be too safe

Awesome setup though, extremely jealous!

Picked a skimmer up last night. I'm pretty impressed with it so far. I purchased the bubble Magnus wave 5. Started producing skimate a few hours after I set it up

Looks like one heck of a UV unit there. What gallonage is it rated at?

 

[Just Clownin Around]

Rated at 3600 gph
It's on my breeder setup not my reef

Looks good rich... That's the best sps around man it will be killer when grown out..

 

[lps1212]

Nice looking frags great way to start your new tank with those purtty looking gems

 

[Just Clownin Around]

I am going to try and snap pictures of the pack I got from Jared. Frags were all nice and chunky. I highly recommend both the vendors that I purchased from

Battle corals and Rocky Mountain Frags are both great people to deal with. I must have asked about 90 questions and they were always very cordial and informative

 

[powers2001]

Can't wait to see them sitting pretty in your frag rack all polyped-out!
