Schreiba's ADA 60-F

[teamschreiba]

Hey all,

 

Since I'm new to WAMAS, I thought I would start off by making a tank thread. I've had this tank running for about a year and half now and have gone through many changes as I've learned more about this hobby. My initial goals for this tank were for it to be a clean, minimalistic tank that was eventually focused on SPS. I feel like I've slowly worked towards those goals and now I am mainly in a grow out phase since I don't have much more room to add corals . I posted all the details of my tank as well as a history of FTS's that I've tried to keep track of. Suggestions and comments are welcome!

Thanks Piper, it's much appreciated!

Very nice tank!! How does that overflow work?

Very nice tank!! How does that overflow work?

 

Thanks surf&turf! It's really just the outlet and inlet pipes combined into one unit. They are connected too so it has an automatic siphon recovery through a venturi style tube. Here's a few pictures:

I love those ADA tanks and the MAME overflow. I hear that overflow is hard to find these days.

What are the dimensions.

Yeah I got really lucky finding mine. A guy that leaves near me was actually selling one but I hear no one has been able to find one these days.

 

What are the dimensions.

 

It's 24"x12"x7"
