Wife's birthday present

spit.fire · #1 08-12-2013, 09:05 PM

Built the tank, still need to install glass and acrylic and drill holes

Stand still needs the doors finished black and the handles installed (put blumotion hinges on it because I didn't have any other hinges for inset doors)

After all that's done I still have to build a 20"x20"x14" sump for it

Hardware on it will be:
a 20" maxspect razor led
Speed wave return pump
Modded tlf pb150 reactor for bio pellets powered by a mj400
Mp10es
Still undecided on the skimmer tho

Not gonna lie its not what I wanted for size but its not my tank lol

I wanted to go 14" tall

She told me she wants me to fill it with my sps

its a very sleek tank. What kind of overflow will you be installing?

Bout time for an update, so breaking my leg put a serious delay on this build but it's finally starting to come together

In place and filling with water

Water change hose was too short by about a foot so my preggo wife had to hold the hose while it was filling

Still waiting on parts for the skimmer, pb550 reactor filled with hydroton pulled from my frag tank

Liverock from my frag tank

Weir with water

The light is temporary until its cycled and I can move all the sps and gobies from my tank to hers

She'll be getting my maxspect razor and I'm going to shut my nano down because of a losing battle against bryopsis
