I mad this cabinet out of melamine board which was a mistake cuz all that work is starting to bubble and peel.I`ll make a new one when I have to, like when the skimmer overflows again!That thing can suck my sump dry in 5 min. and put it my floor,I know. |
how about some overall pictures of the tank

I wanted to have a separate mangrove tank so I built this lagoon type table tank.I plumbed it to the main tank return pump.I T`d off at intake of pump so it acts like a venturi and refills simply through gravity to the same level as the main tank sump
I planted about 10 mangroves,only 1 survived whats up with that. I also had 4 fiddler crabs that all were eatin by a blenny.Never thought that would happen till I busted him rippin off ones leggs,looked over when I heard splashing.Its a coral eating blenny,anyone want him. http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...crtt/crtt2.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p.../crtt/crtt.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...crtt/crtt8.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...crtt/crtt7.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...crtt/crtt6.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...crtt/crtt5.jpg http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...crtt/crtt3.jpg |

Your tank looks fantastic! The growth is amazing. What kind of calcium /kalk reactor do you use?How much media do you go through?
|
I use a marinetec reactor and refill it every 3-4 months
|
How many stages is your reactor?
|
Dang man there is some serious colour coming out of this tank.
So what size is the main display? What lights you using? Looks like a blue or purple gigantea carpet in the pics from '06. Did you sell it or do you still have it? nice stuff man!! Very nicely done. |
This is without a doubt a Tank Of The Month!
|
the tank is 225g
yes that was Gigantea which dubbled in size sometimes and would take out my knew frags so donated it to Mountview Conservation which has a 500g tank Last year I upgraded the lights to 3 400w lumanarcIII 12k reeflux |
oh ya the reactor is a 5 stage but dont use any of those small reactors on the side.Couldnt figger out what they were for anywho
|
VERY nice.
|
Cool, next time I'm out west I'll have to check out this Mountain View Conservation Centre, I just googled it and it sounds neat. Anyhow said it before but I'll say it again, very nice tank! :cool:
|

|
Nice stuff! This is without a doubt a future TOTM.
|
Sweet tank dude! Take some recent front and side shots....bring it!:razz:
|
Wow ya dude!!
impressive growth I love the pink piece on the right back corner of the tank if you ever frag it lemme know. Did these all start of as frags? I call tank tour........ |
Do you work in a fab shop? your steel work looks top notch.
|
Looks Amazing. I love the lighting rack.
If you don't mind what did it cost to biuld the lighting rack? J |
I love the in-wall plumbing! Is that irrigation pipe?
This has been TOTM material for a while now. |
We should swap some frags soon, maybe enjoy a frosted barley pop or two while were at! I've decided I'm going to plumb a few more tanks and a bigger skimmer on to my system downstairs, i'll show you my plans later.
|
Word up to all your comments fellow reefers.I do work at a steel fab shop so lots of things I build for my tank tend to be a bit on the heavy side,but its cost effective(cha-ching).The BOSS just shakes his head,dosent even ask anymore.
Tunze 6305 went in today so the flow rate went up a tad.Much betta will update pics after the dust settles |
Awesome tank! Incredible craftsmanship!
|
