Cprowler's 120

[cprowler]

I set this tank up in December 05 and transferred everything over from my 40g long on 21/05, so I guess that is it's birthday. I acquired most of my corals from the local reefers like chwkreefer, Chin Lee, pocilipora, smokinreefer, Anthony, Jesse, Ivy & John and a few others.

This is what it looks like today.






Here are a few of the construction.

Hi Bill

You tank looks fantastic. Your workmanship puts us cabinet makers to shame.

Very nice. Well thought through.

Bill
i've seen your system in person and that was what gave me inspiration on the cabinet work on my new system. Its first class worksmanship and well thought out system. Very nice.

PS - i was wondering when you were going to post up your Tank journal......

Wow Bill. It looks great, you must be proud.

I thought you've had that ritteri longer than 1 year? Did you have it in your 40g before? Or am I mistaken?

Sorry for the way late reply. I’m not getting notification on replies.

Tony – yes your right, I have had it for just over 2 years.

Lando – I don’t have any heat issues at the moment, I have considered that.

For a CL I am running a Dart, I don’t have it on any timers or pattern changers. It’s just a steady flow from right to left 24/7. It seems to work, I think I’m getting good growth, color and PE. I do however adjust the nozzles every few months.


Here are all the pieces all laid out.




The intake.






Manafold




The intake just goes over the top of the tank and the manifold is just above also. This way I did not have to drill any holes in the tank.

Manifold






I just used some locline fittings that screwed into the PVC fittings on the manifold.
