Hey,
Feeling like I have conquered the Freshwater world and Planted aquariums I figured that it was time to move on to big and better things, So I decided a SW Reef was the way to go.
After being around Canreef for a little while, learning, researching, reading and trying to take it all in and remember it, I have finally gathered all the equipment and knowledge to start my Slice of Ocean.
Thanks to many of you who answered my many questions and provided me with information I needed or where to get it. Thanks to Steve, and Marine Aquaria as well.
Equipment:
Tank: 36'' x 18'' x 24''
Sump: 30'' x 16'' x 16''
Skimmer: Vertex in100
Powerheads: MP10wES
Lighting: Super Blue AI Sols x 2
Return Pump: Quiet One 3000
Stand / Canopy
Stand: Big Al's Special
Canopy: DIY - Myself Unfortunately I didn't log or take any pictures of the process of building my canopy, but I can show you the finished product and add that the total cost was 85$
Pictures So Far - I'm not sure what the best settings are to put my SLR too are but here's an attempt.
Sump is a little tight in there, The skimmer isn't coming out without a fight. Also need more sand for the DSB but all in Time.
A few pieces of base rock in the tank, I think i'm going to have to fight some micro bubbles as it looks so far. Any Suggestions? From Skimmer Breaking ?
Rock Work / Cave
