Tank Re-Scape

Greeni · Oct 21, 2013

Hi everyone, posting up some photos before we re-scape. This tank has been running since November 2010, 5' x 2.5' x 2', 800litres (211 gallons approx) Purely a LPS/Softy tank as you can see but we'll be scaping the tank to accommodate SPS as well.

Cheers.

Amazing!!!! I'm having difficulties with adding softies and lps to my sps tank, it's just about actually pulling the trigger I see them like them then I don't know where is like to put them. Then I see yours and want too pull the trigger,, Just beautiful great job!!!!! I can't wait to see the new aqua scape

Awesome ! leave it alone and start a new tank . I got 3 tanks going now and thinking of doing another tank just with sps next year .

If it was my tank, I too, would leave it alone, man that's a beauty, you got it going just right, I would not touch it. Perfecto...

Sorry everyone, have already started the new scape. I will be keeping the morphs,zoos,hammers,rics & nems and have SPS on the top of the new scape.
Here's a picture of the engine room.

So what were you thinking about with the rescape? I know your added in SPS, but did you have a certain flow, shape or rock work design in mind? Awesome tank BTW...

Hi everyone,here's some pics of the new scape.I have added plenty of SPS, i'm finding the tank hardend frags are doing better than the wild caught colonies, i've had my fair share of STN!

Hi jarred i'm changing the filter socks on Friday and i'll take some photos of it disassembled, it will be easier to explain with photos.
Cheers.

Hi Jarred
it's a 2" PVC barrel union glued to a PVC flange.The PVC ring on the left,i had to machine to fit the filter socks,this clamps the filter sock to the PVC flange and pipework.The small pipe on top of the flange (on the left) is only a tell tale overflow when filters are blocked.I change them out twice a week.

they're nylon bolts holding it together.

HTH.

Hi, no refugium. i did have live rock in the sump but it just accumulates to much dust,so i took it out and replaced it with two refresh/bio pure blocks. other than that it's a clean sump!
Cheers.
