Tanks looking sweet Ian.....Makes me wish i kept my larger system..

Thanks!

If i had done even half the planning you did on this tank Jim, i would have saved myself ALOT of money. Prpos on waiting, cuz if that was me, id have the RO flowing with a couple buckets of salt next to me. I got that sch80 stuff anytime you wana come by.

Yea getting ANY equipment to fit the CAD was a challange. I wanted to try out some Zeo stuff this time around since dosing for a smaller tank would be much more affordable, but the space for another reactor just isnt there. I didnt know you can change out the ballast to 250W. Which ballast...

i dont see why not as long as you can get a good grip on it. I ended up using a couple of 2x4 and some C clamps to tighten mine when i had no tools a while back. Whats the exact size you need to get around, i can check my channel locks here. If theyre big enough your welcome to use them.

Thanks Jim....wish i had the space you have tho! I just wish i could do it again w/o the electricity bill and maintenance.

Thanks! You'll find that the maintenance with this tank is a WHOLE lot easier than a 180 gal. I gotta agree with you on the light. The color is great but that fan has to go. I'm looking into changing mine out to a 250w reefbrite pendant soon so i can start keeping sps in the lower regions...

sweet set up...i like the look of the LEDs...how are they performing for you?

thanks Mel....when are you gettin yours up n runnin....these things are going to be needing some trimming to make room for others so let me know

Thanks! just trying to get back to where i left off...only on a much smaller scale...BTW how you liking the reef angel...i was looking into controllers but havnt taken the time to do comparisons with them all.. Thanks Mike...The water changes on this tank (15 gal. weekly) are a whole lot...

time to update this thread...its been a while.. Picked up a few pieces from various spots little by little....now that parameters have stabled out for the most part ive decided to get going with the SPS already. FTS Right side Left side Blood shrimp that seems...

it was even nicer when the meetings were at ASAP. My car didnt even have a chance to warm up by the time i got there..

Tap plastics will grip you for any custom work. I inquired about some when doing my tank. Id check out Kritter tanks if i needed any custom acrylic work done.

welcome to BAR and Union City. lol. Not much going for us around here except for the convienience of a 24hr walmart down the street for late night DIY jobs and Atlantis aquarium. But its nice having another local reef head

id have to agree with Gresham on the 6 line. If it were possible to magnify the devils sperm 100x youd see a pissed off sixline. I kept one in a 180 gal and it gladly punked ANY new addition to the tank. The only reason i kept it was because i couldnt catch it.

sweet build. The DIY looks great...

I have black vinyl stuck on the back of mine. You can go that route at a fraction of the cost of acrylic. There's tons of vinyl shops around but one that comes to mind is Okie Dokie signs in Hayward. We used to go there to get graphics for our cars back in the day.

i have a plexi 40 gal hex tank i use for things like this if you need a tank to borrow for a while. Small footprint perfect for use in a garage w/o getting in your way.
