Whats up everyone, it's that time of year again where I end up doing something drastic to my tank (Again) for no other reason than I am indecisive and have tank ADD. This time it's going above and beyond.
Previous build thread - https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/elos-70-upgrade.225277/
So spurred on by a big push to remodel my downstairs, and by my wife's dislike for "My tank crap all over her nice dining room" I have decided to move my tank to my downstairs.
Originally I was just planning to move the whole setup as is to the new spot:
Still lots of finishing work to do after installing 18 recessed leds
The spot:
This would have been fine, but being me I had to +1 it.
Located directly behind this wall is one of the closets in our guest bedroom:
Thus the gears began to turn resulting in this concept:
Spurred on by some early black Friday deals here in the past few days the parts are starting to come together. I have always wanted to have a frag tank plumed into my display, and with the room I have for sump and filtration I went with the biggest I could fit.
Equipment list:
Elos 70 tank and stand (Display)
Geissman Spectra T5/MH with reefbrites
60 gallon frag tank
Trigger systems Triton 44" sump
Kessil H380 to power the fuge
Skimz 1050 DC return pump
Apex classic
Various other equipment
The idea here is to move my display tank over to a full blown SPS paradise, only choice high end sticks will be going into the elos. The frag tank in the back will be housing nems and anything else I don't want to have in a sps display.
And that's it for now, parts should be flowing in here shortly, I plan on having the frag tank up and running before the elos gets moved into place, I will have all the plumbing through the wall already, so plugging in the elos should be fairly easy.
Thanks for looking, and follow along for the fun!
