teamschreiba May 19, 2012 Share May 19, 2012 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!

teamschreiba May 19, 2012 Author Share May 19, 2012 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killrblue May 19, 2012 Share May 19, 2012 I love those ADA tanks and the MAME overflow. I hear that overflow is hard to find these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
