Very nice tank! What are the rest of the components?

Just one thing about the design worries me - the return lines seem to be below the bottom of the overflow teeth. Are you going to have the rreturns pointed up close to the water's surface? With the two vortechs I'm sure you won't need the returns to add flow.

That is one gorgeous tank, cant wait to see it filled

Looking sexy as heck! That piece of plastic is a bit more holey than the last time I saw it. Nicely done!

Just a little update tank is being filled with ro water, and i got a stand made by the grizz, and all plumbing is done. will be taking pics soon of everything in the tank lol. a big hand to concepts for helping me bring the tank home and setting up my skimmer lol, and another big hand to the grizz for helping me bring the tank to my down to my living room.

Not a problem youngster, was glad this old guy could help you out. That is truly a beautiful tank.:mrgreen:

SO jealous! That tank is gorgeous. Well done.

Wow! That is a aweet looking tank! I know where I need to get my next one built now.

Very nice. I love the back wall. How has the flow from the vortechs been affected with the wall around it and intake hole? Still as broad? Undertow?

You need a few gear clamps on hoses down below!

the flow is great i have the mp40s linked and running eco mode so i get pulses which gives me waves and the mixes in with constant flow so its pretty speratic lol. the corals seem to like the flow with mad polyp extensions lol. ya i already have the clamps on that picture was prior to adding in water lol

i need to learn how to use my slr lol and get a tripod lol

thanks
victor

Looks good Victor, nice and simple aquascaping you will have that tank full in no time. Nice looking stand to if I don't say so myself:twised:

LOL for sure its a nice stand and tanks for swinging by and fixing it and helping me carry everything down stairs lol

That is one sexy tank!

LOL thanks buddy, i'm gonna have to swing by one day and grab some stuff from ya lol and cookies as well:lol:

Wow that does look great. I like how you were able to use those shelf pieces too. :)

Any updates or new pic's?

:bump:

Are those Magician Zoas I seen in there Vic? Grow them up so I can get a frag of them bad boys :biggrin:

the power heads in the back look great, love the idea of hiding them. Hows the flow working, no sucking noise or flow problems.

Looks great man ,

yes they are lol I'll let u know when I have a frag lol

Flow us awesome, and don't have any sucking noise. And thanks guys for the comments. Will have more pics up soon!!!!

I'll post some pics soon, nothin really to update except just waiting for all the frags to grow lol. But I did add a sand sifting goby and a spotted tail blennie.

Looks pretty dang snazzy there Victor.....I know what you mean about waiting for stuff to grow in:wink:

Looks great Victor.....good work so far!

How's the tank doing Victor?

Good I'll have to take some pics soon lol been a little busy

Yes yes you should, the Magicians growing nicely?

magicians grew out for a bit but aptasia got onto the rock and started to attack them but its slowy recovering.

well after a solid 8 months of growth and gaining color on all my sps, it seems its my turn to have a tank try to crash on me. not really sure what the problem is but i have lost my strawberry short cake, purple monster and a couple of other sps that i don't know the name of, and a bunch of my sps are stning. not really sure what the case is my tank parameters are:


all based on the api master reef test kit
dkh 8
calcium 400
po4 non detectable
nitrate non detectable

mag 1300 based on elos test kit
salinity is 1.025-1.026 refracto meter

and have not changed a thing to the system, been running pellets from day one, rox carbon, and brs phosphate remover changed every month and been using kalk in the ato to maintain calc and alk.

i have done about 70 gallons of water change in the past 5 days but yesterday was when i saw 5 frags just stn on me :sad: seems to only hurt my sps, cause all my zoas, acans and torches are doing awesome

if anyone can give me some advice that would be great, or is this just part of the tank cycle lol

victor

Vic that is the way SPS's are one minute you are watching them and they are great and you get up and walk away they are RTNing or STNing

Ya I just don't get it seems like all my favorites are doing shitty. Gonna do another 20 gallon water change tomorrow and see if I get some polyp extensions back. On one note all the zoas and lps are doing awesome and fish are all eating like pigs even got my lyretail anthias to start eating pellets lol

Have any of u guys ever tested for voltage in the tank? I'm at 39 Volts in the tank and was wondering if that's normal?

Ummmm, no. Not normal. Get a ground probe in there ASAP

How did you test for stray voltage Vic?
