My 67g Reef build
Hi all.
After a long summer I have cleaned house and tore down a few tanks. All that I have left set up is my 65g and my 30g breeder. Which is plumbed together. Well this project will reflect of building a 2 sided viewing tank which i just picked up from another reef member and tear down the last 2 tanks and combine them into the new tank. I will post equipment and other stuff I am going to have to get new or used from fellow reefers. Keep checking in for updated and feel free to drop some comments or criticism http://www.aquariumpros.ca/forums/im...ihi%5B1%5D.gif Dimensions are 72x18x12 = 67g Starphire Closed loop system. |
Pump I am going to use for the closed loop is a Blue Line T4 Velocity Series external pump. I have read they are super quiet but run a little hot.

I dug out my Vertex IN180 and cleaned it up for this tank. My 65 & 30 which are plumbed together does not have a mechanical skimmer in the Sump . I have approx 300 lbs of live rock which is filtering this system but unless I run 2 sumps under this new tank to house that much LR I may have to get rid of some.
Hopefully I will have the top built soon. I am looking at 3- HQI Sunlight Supply Reef Optix 150 watt pendants to go over top of this baby. |
Top of the stand is 46" off the floor but the tank is only 12" high so 58" to top of tank. I think it will be at a nice level when sitting on a bar stool leaning on an oak ledge to hold your favorite beverage

So........ I got the closed loop all plumbed in. I am going to change the way it was setup from the dump and return on the same end. I am going to use both as a dump and have the return come in from the other end pushed by a Mag 9.5. On the end of the return I think I am going to hook on a Vertex Mocean 3500 WaveMaker. Any thought on this unit does anyone have one??? dinoflagellates

Thought I would add a picture of the Vertex Mocean 3500 WaveMake. I am going to hook this up at the end of the return.
