My 240 updated May 17
 

Here is a picture of my new 220 gallon tank. This has been a huge undertaking. Lighting is 3 400 watt halides with T5s (T5 not added yet). Stand and canopy was built by a friend of mine. The sump is in the basement and holds another 200 gallons. With a built in Fuge and Frag tank. Skimmer is a Bubble King. Soon to have a Profilux for the whole thing. I also have a PM calcium reactor that will be added soon.

Let me know what you think. And thanks to all for the help in making this happen.

Excellent...did you manage to doucment the build?

Tunze Wavebox n all. :) Looks good.

Very nice Keith, now we just need to fill that baby up:wink:

After its all said and done not sure i can afford to fill it up now lol.

I was just thinking i need to get a hold of you and get a frag pack from you.
I am going away for a week in a weeks time. When i get back i would like to work something out with you.

By the way i am accepting donations.

Keith

:lol: Aren't we all! :lol:

I'll see what I can do.:wink:
Get a hold of me and I'll work you an awesome deal.

WOW! That is impressive! That Tang must be huge!

very nice aquascaping

Soon the coralline algae will cover the overflow box, love the rock work. Regards Ken

This tank and the Tang came from RUTH up in Fort St John. The Tang has been living happily in a swimming pool in my basement for the past 3 months. He is about 12" and has the streamers coming off his tail. I am sure he will like the tank a lot more then the pool.

Thanks Keith

Thanks

I used a pvc frame for the rock work to try and get something that looked different. I am happy with the way it turned out. I hope in time it will look even better once it has corals and coralline algae.

Looks Great.. Look forward to seeing it grow..

Throw my name in the hat of admirers ... very nice.

How many lbs of rock is that, in the end?

Love the rock work, looks great :biggrin:

I also really like the aquascape! I always wanted to do the pvc arch, just dont really want to do the work. Looks real nice!

Not sure how much is in there i used about 450 lbs in total display sump and fuge. My guess is about 200 225 lbs.

Thanks for all the compliments. I will try to post more pics as it progresses.
Just about to put in approx 100 snails and hermits.

Keith

Tank is now 1 year old. Thought I would post some pics.

Cr*p... I was suppose to make a phone call yesterday, wasn't I... :redface:

Very nice Keith!! Really filled up with SPS since I was there!

Never heard from you so i took a stab at taking some of my own. I would still like to arrange something with you. This gives you an idea on what i have.

I did some fragging today and also placed some new frags so i would like for some things to grow in for a couple of weeks.

Let me know what we can arrange.

Keith

Thanks Carmen

Its on its way i am really starting to enjoy the way things are looking.

Keith

Yea, for sure Keith... I will make a note about getting in touch... great looking tank tho. Can't wait to see it. :mrgreen:

nice pieces, what are you using for lighting?

Thanks

I have three 400 watt 20000K XM bulbs with 4 48" T5s 2 fiji purple and 2 true actinics.

Keith

I now can really appreciate your tank more then I already do. I have seen it all full, but really had no mental image of the beginning. WOW you really are the guru. I also wanted to thank you for all the advise and help and friendship.

Your pictures turned out awesome.

sorry for the drool spot I left by the big tank when I was there Keith...

Great looking tank in person and one of the biggest, fattest lawn mower (why does that look like it's spelt wrong??) blennies I have ever seen

I think my picture taking skills are getting better.

Thanks for looking
Keith

Thanks Sarah

I call it the purple one LOL. I am not good with the names yet still trying to learn. If anyone knows the proper names for them feel free to post them up. I am going to try and start labeling the pictures correct so i can learn more. I have been taking picture like crazy trying to get it figured out. I have lots more on Facebook if you want to add me.

That "purple one" is fantastic...I think I need a piece of it when I come out there!!! LOL Very very nice...all of them!

WOW ! Very nice. Future TOTM

Someone knows what they're doing! Unreal! How do you have your rock structure put together?

They are so awesome Keith... yes you are the future TOTM!!! How do you take the pictures exactly, are you snorkeling in there with the camera? Why don't you come over and show me on my tank:biggrin: and then you can make sure I don't stomp my Profilux into the floor when I am setting it up again.

Looks awesome!!! Yes Keith knows what he is doing and has helped me immensely with my system and this is why it is doing well. He hasd also turned my hubby into a coral junkie...

You have not even seen his frag tank guys, it is amazing!!!

Purple one is lokani perhaps. I agree, the tank looks great.
