Default Final Tank Setup

Finally finished setting up the tank it now has a sump and Fuge Here are some pics!!Let me know of any suggestions if you can think and or see any!!


Front of the tank and most of you have seen it allready!!

From the back from here you can see the hang on overflow and my plumbing to my sump which can't be seen from here, and you can also see my newly set up fuge!!

Here is a shot of my sump I didn't have anypumps strong enough to pump the water up to my tank so I had to use my 2 fluvals(204's) I connected them together for my return to my tank!!!

Looks good, what kind of light do you have over the tank?

That looks great. Nice work on the aquscaping. It really looks very natural!

Down the road you could add some bigger pieces of LR to the fuge, remove the canopy and add a pendant and then get some mangroves and allow them to root onto the LR and grow out above the water. Thats my plan for my 33. A display, mangrove planted refugium. I will still also have a 12" x 16" fuge in my sump with LR, sand and macro algae.

mangroves are neeto but don't provide much in the way of nutrient export.

I would run a sheet of black/blue plastic mat board behind the glass at the rear, this will help hide all of your hang-on equipment and it will also give the back area of the reef a dark area where fish can retreat to.

Also I noticed that your skimmer is pulling out almost clear liquid, if you do a search on here or RC you can find an easy mod for it, which allows it to be turned up full blast and yet have a longer throat so your not over skimming and the skimate is nice and green. I did this simple mod to my Prizm over a year ago and it performs much better. Without this mod I had to run the skimmer at 50% flow because if I turned it up any higher the cup would just fill up with water.

Looks good

Could you or someone post a pic of the extended reaction chamber on the Prism Pro. I looked on old thread and pics aren't showing up.

Thanks

IIRC it is a Halide Bell Pendant they are using. Don't know the wattage though.
