Triggreef's 200g Deep Dimension Marineland Build Thread

[Triggreef]

Did you save the corals or will you be selling them? What are your plans to fill in left side of tank? Your tank looks awesome by the way.

A little of both. I took out one giant rock where everything was growing and fighting, and re-scaped with smaller rocks, digi Monti's in back, red planet plum crazy and sarmentosa acros in the top middle, and in the front/lower area pectina, setosa monti, and birdsnest, then some strawberry fields cap on the bottom front. I'll get some pics soon.

And I know its cheesy, but I added an anchor. I like it! It will look cool encrusted in JF jack-o-lantern lepto! lol

Wow. You can hardly tell a change was made. Thanks for the new pictures. It looks great.

My new frag tank tank set up. I though the rack was a good idea but after cmac and moving a couple hundred frags out one at a time, I'll be renovating those already. Straight from the tank to the cooler style frag racks are forth coming.

Made some zoas garden modifications today. Pics forthcoming. Still need to figure out a way to clean up the sand bed area. Getting tired of corals in the sand.

Heres a recent video instead of pics. I actually cleaned up the sandbed a bit since this and found a better place for the elegance where I don't need to shield it from the flow.

Excellent reef! I would love to upgrade to a tank like this in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good Dave! Are you still not running a skimmer?

 

[Triggreef]

Yeah No skimmer on this tank. Starting to do more water changes though. Not by much.

So around Feb 18 my kids got a hold of Windex and sprayed A LOT all around the tank. Next day most sps were not looking good, ended up moving many acro to another tank. Saved about 75 percent of corals I would say all said and done but many are still healing from this and or on the fence. I'd call it a mini crash.

It's inspired me to get to a sump renovation including swapping out the 55 for a 75 and adding a 40g tall diy acrylic tank as a deep catch basin for the drain water. The idea is that it's so deep detritus will settle out and can be vacuumed routinely. So far is working well.

That is gorgeous.

I love the depth, dimension and naturalness of it all, and the way your fish will vanish from time to time, provoking the anticipation of their reappearance. You've got me dreaming of such a tank one day . . .

[Sharkz]

That is impressive with all those fish and NO skimmer? What is your water schedule and how many gallons do you change out? Great looking tank.

 

[Josh King]

Sorry to hear about the Windex incident. Sounds like your settling basin will work well for you.

I just stumbled across this and I love the dimensions of your tank! I hear you on the sticky kid fingerprints too lol. I was wondering how you are still liking the sand you used. Have you noticed any issues with it after using it for so long? I really like the look of it
