zygote2k April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 I've been working on this tank for the past 3 years. 4) MP40's, 6) D120's, 80w UV, 1/2hp chiller, Biopellet/P04 reactors, 2 part dosing. Original Avast CS3 skimmer. Hippo Tang is about 9" for scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zygote2k April 5, 2014 Author Share April 5, 2014 (edited) Here are 6) D120's on full power from day 1 of installation. Made the switch from MH/T5 combo and noticed a growth explosion in the corals. The filtration. Chiller and UV sterilizer have been soft piped by a previous maintenance company and unfortunately there's no other easy alternative to a re-plumbing job. The PVC is my work for the drains and returns. 2) 1" returns, 2) 1" drains. The previous company also took the 1.5" drains and jammed 1" pipe inside the 1.5" pipe reducing it for what??? This has been a problem on 2 occasions because of Astrea Snails getting into the drains and clogging them at the elbows causing tank overflows. Luckily, there's a floor drain. The very first Avast CS3 performing as well as it always has. I've modified the air intake to allow for top and bottom scavenging of the silencer. That's 1 week of skimmate. The sump is about 9' long and extends under the table. It's made from acrylic that's too thin and it requires 4) removable cross braces to prevent drastic bowing. I imagine it will pop one day. It's basically 2 bubble traps on one end with the incoming froth flowing over a mesh bag of carbon, then a 4' long settling chamber/aiptasia farm, then the baffles leading to the pump and skimmer areas. Overall, the fish room is 50% complete- I need to fix the bulkheads, chiller/uv plumbing, electrical panel. On the other side of the room is cabinetry, refrigerator, countertop. I also have a 46g bowfront QT/hospital tank. This coral came from Fazio. It's a green Kenya Tree and it's about 15" tall. Surrounded by RPE's. Purple Nurple, Flowerpetal, Orange Cap with Tyree Stools. Very large Spongodes colony with Neon Green Sinularia garden. Flowerpetal and Leng Sy cap in background. The grotto. The big Rabbitfish like to hang out here and nibble the clam every now and then. Yellow Tang is 5". Old-fashioned Brown Star Polyps. The FTS. 90% of the corals and fish came from WAMAS members over the last 3 years. Edited April 5, 2014 by zygote2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuffyGeos April 7, 2014 Share April 7, 2014 I really enjoy looking at how tanks are set up. The inner workings always interest me. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave w April 8, 2014 Share April 8, 2014 Beautiful tank. What would you do if you didn't have other people's installation screw ups to fix? Admit it, you'd be bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
