Wayne's 105g 'Rainforest of the Sea'
Welcome Canreef staff, members, and guests; Reef newbies, enthusiasts and vets. Welcome to my rebuild. ________________________________________________ Tropical Rainforests of the Sea  If you don’t know me, my name is Wayne and I have been, more or less, infatuated with marine aquatic life since I laid my eyes upon my first ever reef aquarium. Dabbling in freshwater for a couple years I decided to try my hand at reefing about 10 months ago, after many weeks of research, and put together my first 90G reef tank.   In my short time reefing, I have lurked around every forum, read every article, and experienced success and disaster, yet I still believe I have only discovered the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this rewarding hobby. I still have much to learn but am looking forward to the challenge. Objective: I am moving into my new penthouse apartment suite on November 1st and want to create a focal point/center piece of the main room. The reef will be the first thing you see when you walk in the door, so I want a clean, aesthetic and modern looking build. Fish and high quality SPS corals will dominate this reef, with some LPS corals filling in the aquascape.   I have looked into the Zeovit system by Korallen-Zucht but with my schedule, doing daily dosing is just not possible. For this reason, I will be dosing the ProdiBio big three: BioDigest, BioPtim, & ReefBooster, once every two weeks in order to attain a thriving ultra low-nutrient ecosystem.

The Display Tank:
Courtesy of sphelps. It was a pleasure doing business with you sir. Original plan was to have one built custom, but Steve’s tank had very similar dimensions to what I was looking for, so I bought it, for quite a discounted price compared to building new, so that was a plus! Since I am limited as to what weight I am allowed in a 4th Floor apartment, this isn’t as much as a size upgrade as it is an equipment, functionality, and modernization upgrade. 103 gallon ‘Rimless’ design 54”L x 22”W x 20”H 3 sides 12mm Starphire Glass (front & sides) Clear silicone, black painted background Internal overflow and return holes through the bottom glass are so the tank can be flush against the wall.   The Sump: Custom built by Concept Aquatics. Regular 3/8” Float Glass 40”L x 18”W x 16”H   The Stand: Custom built by The Grizz. 54”L x 22”W x 32”H Welded Steel Black Marine Enamel Paint In time, I plan to do the skirting for the stand myself depending upon the color scheme I decide to go with in my new flat. This will be decided later on.
