New 225 Setup with Aquascaping Focus

[andrewsk]

Time for a new update. Sorry for the lack of posts but my dad is very ill right now and all of my spare time has gone to him.

Things have been going very quickly this last week. The wife has been on holidays and my new floor is installed. I am finally happy with the aquascaping but seriously think I will put a shallow layer of sand in since EVERYONE that sees the tank asks me about this.

Here is a pic of the new flooring with fish logo



And a few shots of my 80% complete fish room.




Aquatronica with only the heaters set up right now.




I now have the sump installed and after a few modifications, it is running well





Here are the last few customers in quarantine waiting to go into the main tank:




And last but not least, a few shots of the main tank.






Almost forgot. At the top of my tank I have a Mangrove growing from the rock. Not sure how this will pan out.



Let me know what you think. Ill post more now as more of the toys start to come online. Still TONS to do but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. this week will be about placing corals and frags, getting the Aquatronica online and getting some sand in the bottom. The week after my huge ozonizer arrives from the states. Cannot wait!

Thanks for the well wishes.

Last night I had the oddest dream that I was feeding him food soaked in SELCON!

Too much reefing I think.

Very sorry to hear about your Dad - hope things are going well or at least better.
Your tank is looking very very good - I really like the way you have it set up and aquascaped and look forward to more updates and to hear how you like the controller.
Godspeed.

I recieved my Marine Technical Concepts "Pro-240 Ozone Reactor" today.

It is pretty intense!

Basically, the idea is to get a much longer ozone contact time with the water than a standard protien skimmer by using a combination of Air and Water pressure. The two smaller containers are carbon filters for the return water and return air.

Ill post either a video or more pics of it in operation as I have personally never seen anything quite like it.
