Tidal waters glorified frag tank

[tidal_waters]

Its a Coralife 250 watt 20K

I also have some Current USA powerbrite led strips supplementing the halides, pretty blue!

I also have some pretty sweet looking actinic shots

That's a color-filled and seriously stocked Solana wow! So you're upgrading to 100 gallons too? My Solana isn't that stocked but I found myself wanting something a little bigger.

[tidal_waters]

yeah they sure do seem to get cramp pretty quick! *L* But I'm going to let this one fill in as much as possible before I get the bigger tank.

Well three hours later and its done!

My solana now has a 10 gallon sump!

pics to follow!

[tidal_waters]

Took a bit but here are the pics of the final outcome if all the chaos of sumping a solana.

So here's a top down shot of the back of the tank, you can see the 1st chamber with the stock skimmer, the second with the overflow intake, and the third chamber with the stock return pump and the sump return line



this is a little further down into the madness. you can see the two recently added reactors, one with pro bio and the other carbon. you may also notice the ass end of the sump sticking out the back of the stand. A cut to the back of the stand was in order to accommodate the sump.



and the inside and it is just as bad as it looks, however is functional! *L*



and a little closer



and the final FTS

[tidal_waters]

Well my 34 is no longer and in the wake of all the chaos my 75 gallon took its place. I didn't take any pictures of the build process, but I wanted to post monthly pics of the growth and progression of this here new tank.
