MJC "BIG BOOTY" Contest!!!

[theokie]

Well after receiving my second Mad Jelly order, or rather I guess third if you count group buys, I couldn't resist posting some pics of my work in progress build, in order for a chance to score some more of there awesome corals.

So my Equipment setup definitely won't win any beauty contests, as the plan has been ever evolving, or rather randomly growing to accommodate my needs, wants desires... or rather that's the excuses I keep telling myself.

Big change I would do is have a metal stand, better planned out to accommodate a single larger sump, rather then the two tanks slid under there. Having the display tank stand and vertical cabinet share the same base unit would make life so much easier, but alas like I said this evolved from what was going to be an inwall Discuss tank, hence the original base stand was never to even have a sump.

Wide angle view to put things in perspective.




Always measure your skimmer before you build a cabinet, or rather pick out your skimmer before you build a cabinet.


Skimmer compartment and water change line


Return Compartment, media reactor, ATO sensors and line. Also houses the pump for my chiller, the pump for my above tank cheato fuge. Also you can see the secondary drain line from my bean animal overflow, it currently feeds my big fuge and frag tank, but can be opened up to completely isolate that half of the system


The start of a Fuge/Cryptic/Mangrove/ATS, also holds my aqua clear filters that I rotate to my quarantine tanks, that way they are already seeded with bacteria when I need them


And just to point out how awesome Mad Jelly Coral is, its able to bring me out of full on lurker mode to actually post some pics of my system. Many thanks to Tony and Long for there awesome customer service, and once I can figure out the whole white balance thing, some pics of their amazing corals in my system.

Once I finally get all my equipment in, I will be redoing my wiring to simplify things, as well as enclosing the entire system in some awesome piano gloss black laminate.
